title = "Who decides where we work - the individual, the collective or the institution?: Narratives of legitimizing hybrid work practices",
abstract = "We examine how knowledge workers use narratives to legitimize their hybrid work practices in post-Covid-19 work life. We identify three narratives, the {\textquoteleft}individualist{\textquoteright}, the {\textquoteleft}collectivist{\textquoteright}, and the {\textquoteleft}institutionalist{\textquoteright}, as alternative perspectives of hybrid work that people draw on to legitimize their workplace choices to support performativity and well-being. This study contributes to research on organizational policy implementation by explaining how narrative constructions are used to legitimate different choices within same organizations that go through a transition from forced remote work to hybrid work.",
