In a context of increasing retention challenges, this study examined the link between adjustment to work modality (on-site or hybrid) and two dimensions of employees’ psychological bond with their workplace: attachment and belongingness. It also explored whether age, tenure, and contract type moderate these relationships.</div></div><div><h3>Method</h3><div>A convenience sample of 211 employees working either on-site or in hybrid arrangements completed an online questionnaire.

Adjustment was positively associated with workplace attachment (β = .20, p &lt; .01) and belongingness (β = .36, p &lt; .001). The models explained 13% of the variance in attachment and 16% in belongingness. Contract type moderated the relationship between adjustment to work modality and workplace attachment (β = −.17, p &lt; .05; ΔR² = .05, p = .006), with a positive association for fixed-term employees (β = .36, p &lt; .001) but not for permanent employees (β = .02, p = .88).</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>The results indicate that employees’ psychological bond with their workplace depends more on their ability to adjust to the work modality than on the modality itself. Adjustment to work modality is linked to workplace attachment and belongingness; however, the moderating effect of contract type is limited to the adjustment–attachment relationship, which is stronger among fixed–term employees.
