Abstract:
This study examined the relationship between hybrid work practices and crisis management efficiency in selected construction firms in Edo and Delta States, Nigeria. Specifically, it investigated the effects of remote work flexibility, digital communication tools, and coordination between on-site and remote teams on the ability of firms to anticipate, respond to, and recover from crises. A descriptive survey research design was adopted, with data collected from 223 employees across four construction firms using structured questionnaires. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation, and multiple regression analysis. Findings revealed that all three components of hybrid work practices have a significant positive impact on crisis management efficiency, collectively explaining 68.2% of the variance in crisis response outcomes. The study concludes that hybrid work practices enhance organizational resilience and operational continuity in construction firms and recommends the adoption of clear remote work policies, investment in digital communication tools, structured team coordination, and targeted employee training to maximize crisis management effectiveness.
