This study examines digital leadership, attitudes towards artificial intelligence, and information-sharing behaviour within a comprehensive model to explain employee performance in a hybrid work arrangement while also investigating the moderating role of organisational culture in these relationships. The study population consists of white-collar employees working in companies implementing hybrid work arrangements in Türkiye. Sectors where hybrid work is intensively implemented, such as technology, finance, telecommunications, consulting, and education, are included in the study population. Due to the broad and heterogeneous structure of the population, the sample was determined using convenience sampling. 350 employees were included in the study. Data were collected through an online survey consisting of validated scales. A multi-stage statistical procedure was followed to analyse the data collected in the study. The results show that the effect of digital leadership on performance is positive and significant. While the perceived benefit of AI increases performance, the perceived risk decreases performance. Information sharing behaviour is also a strong predictor of performance. Furthermore, the regulatory effect of organisational culture becomes more pronounced with the strengthening of relationships, particularly in clan and adhocracy cultures. In conclusion, sustainable hybrid performance appears more achievable when digital leadership, trust-based attitudes towards artificial intelligence, information sharing, and the cultural context supporting these processes are managed together.
