Abstract

As part of a safety-first principle during the COVID-19 pandemics, the vast majority of
companies have enabled flexible working environments, reducing the number of employees
in the premises. The global best practices have firstly been recorded among the ICT
companies which offered teleworking to their employees, empowering safety and flexibility
through remote work policies and flexible working hours. Although hybrid working models
might become a standard in many industries, only a paucity of papers has examined the
relationship between novel working environments and various classes of intangible assets.
The aim of this paper is to present the effects of hybrid working models (telework and
flexible working hours) on intangible assets (human, relational, structural and intellectual
capital). While the existing hybrid work principles have already shown mixed effects on
corporate outcomes, its impact on intangible assets remains unrevealed. To address this
research gap, we conducted an empirical study. Primary data were collected in the Serbian
ICT sector (N=122) using a structured questionnaire developed for this purpose. Data was
analyzed with the OLS regression. The results confirm the positive effects of the hybrid
working model on intangible assets of ICT companies, which could further propel the
financial success of these companies. In general, these results imply that hybrid working
models, which are becoming a standard for many industries, would not jeopardize the
creation of intangible assets – the ultimate resource of modern companies.
