Abstract: The widespread adoption of hybrid and remote work environments has fundamentally transformed organizational operations, particularly the role of office administration. Traditional administrative practices, designed for centralized and physically co-located workplaces, are increasingly challenged by distributed work arrangements that demand new coordination, communication, and performance management mechanisms. This study examines the key challenges faced by office administration in hybrid and remote work environments, analyzes the adaptation strategies implemented by organizations, and evaluates the effectiveness of these practices in terms of job performance and employee satisfaction. A quantitative and analytical research design was employed using data from 220 respondents working under hybrid and remote work arrangements. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, comparative analysis, and predictive modeling were used to assess relationships among administrative challenges, adaptation strategies, and effectiveness outcomes. The results indicate that structured adaptation strategies and effective workload management significantly enhance administrative effectiveness, while technology adoption alone does not guarantee improved performance. Comparative findings reveal that hybrid work environments demonstrate slightly higher administrative effectiveness than fully remote settings due to improved coordination and oversight. The study contributes empirical evidence to an under-researched area by providing a data-driven understanding of office administration in evolving work contexts. The findings offer practical insights for organizations seeking to design resilient administrative systems that support sustainable hybrid and remote work models.
