Cover Story: This study, conducted in Portugal, demonstrated that job satisfaction positively and significantly correlates with perceived performance. The work regime significantly affects perceived performance, with hybrid workers reporting the highest levels. It also significantly affects job satisfaction, with remote workers having the highest levels of job satisfaction. Job satisfaction has a mediating effect on the relationship between work regime and perceived performance. Contrary to expectations, the work regime does not moderate this relationship. Human Resources Management is recommended to keep employees satisfied and boost their performance. This study has shown how hybrid and remote working arrangements are fundamental to achieving this goal. View this paper
