This study aims to analyze the synergistic effects of modern Human Resource Management (HRM) practices, performance-based work incentives (including algorithm-driven systems), and flexible work models (hybrid work and workation) on employee performance in the “New Work” era. The method employed is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Literature was identified through electronic databases such as Scopus, EBSCO, and Web of Science, with selection criteria based on the PICOT framework. Data analysis included realist synthesis using the Context–Mechanism–Outcome (CMO) framework, meta-analysis, and narrative synthesis. The main findings indicate that the effectiveness of HRM practices is largely determined by the quality of the implementation process involving line managers, rather than merely the content of formal policies. Algorithm-based incentive systems offer advantages in real-time adaptation, but they risk reducing autonomy and trust if their mechanisms are not transparent. In addition, work flexibility has been shown to enhance employees’ autonomy and competence, although it also poses challenges such as the risk of social isolation. In the Indonesian context, job satisfaction was found to be the most dominant determinant influencing performance outcomes. In conclusion, contemporary employee performance results from a strategic synergy between effective HRM execution, intelligent incentive systems, and flexible work models. Organizations are advised to strengthen the role of line managers and ensure technological transparency to maintain employees’ psychological balance. Future research should focus on longitudinal studies to monitor the long-term impacts of hybrid work models.
