Abstract: This study aims to prevent and alleviate workplace loneliness among employees while verifying these mechanisms across different work contexts.With the advancement of the digital era, workplace loneliness has become increasingly prevalent in organizations.Workplace loneliness reduces employees' performance and well-being, and, for organizations, it hinders goal achievement and employee commitment.Therefore, exploring effective mechanisms to alleviate workplace loneliness is crucial for improving employee well-being and essential for sustaining organizational development.Since the COVID-19 pandemic, telework and hybrid work arrangements have become the norm.Although these new work patterns increase flexibility, they also reduce interpersonal communication and emotional connections among employees, thereby heightening the risk of workplace loneliness.To ensure the effectiveness of hybrid work, establishing mechanisms to mitigate workplace loneliness has become an urgent priority.However, existing research remains limited in systematically examining how leadership reduces workplace loneliness across various work settings.This study first reviews the concept of workplace loneliness and related research, identifying key factors influencing its emergence and alleviation.Within existing research, leadership and leader behaviors are recognized as factors potentially affecting employee relationship quality and mental health.Therefore, this study explores how different organizational support behaviors and management approaches influence the occurrence and alleviation of workplace loneliness in both traditional and hybrid work environments.This study consists of six chapters:Chapter 1 outlines the concept, structure, and measurement of workplace loneliness and states the research objectives.Chapter 2 investigates how workplace loneliness inhibits job crafting and proactive behaviors.
