Hybrid schedule as a prospective working format for aviation enterprise staff

Universal digitalization, increased productivity of communication channels and use of software, including management activities, create objective conditions for the widespread use of a hybrid form of employee labor organization. The hybrid work schedule is considered as a potentially effective format for organizing the work of airline personnel. The subject of the study is the possibility of using a hybrid work schedule for airline personnel. The purpose of the study is to analyze the possibility of using a hybrid schedule as a form of work for the Russian airlines staff, contributing to an increase in their activities efficiency. Regulatory documents related to the airline personnel work organization have been reviewed. To achieve the purpose of the study, an analytical study has been conducted – the main categories of the airline, the officials’ functions have been analyzed, and the advantages and risks of using a hybrid form of civil aviation specialists’ work have been considered. To confirm the findings, a sociological survey has been conducted using the questionnaire method, the respondents of which were employees of various departments of airlines. The study results analysis made it possible to substantiate the advantages of a flexible combination of remote and office work to increase productivity, improve the work-life balance of employees, and optimize the use of enterprise resources. Strategies for the successful implementation of a hybrid work schedule at the Russian civil aviation enterprises have been presented.
