Purpose: Digital transformation quickly reconstructs how organisations work globally, and the UAE is no exception. Technological progress and the COVID-19 pandemic have provided significant benefits such as adaptations, flexibility, and operational efficiency in rapid hybrid and remote teams. However, it has also aroused concern for employees' welfare, including questions such as the balance between work and life, technostress, and social isolation. The purpose of this research proposal is to check the impact of digital transformation on employee welfare in hybrid teams in UAE organisations.
Methodology: An approach with mixed methods will be used, including both average class trends and rigorous analysis and qualitative interviews to gain deep insight. The study will investigate how hybrid work settings affect job satisfaction, mental health, and productivity, while also discovering organisational strategies to reduce negative effects.
Findings: Conclusions are expected to contribute to limited empirical evidence in the context of the United Arab Emirates and provide practical recommendations to leaders to balance technological progress with a human-focused work environment. The study is in accordance with HBMSU research priority areas to handle hybrid/hybrid teams and promote welfare for the quality of life.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The insights achieved can support policy development and future research directions with a view to creating permanent, healthy, and digitally flexible jobs in the United Arab Emirates.
