Individual Differences: Factors Affecting Employee Utilization of Flexible Work Arrangements
Lambert, Alysa D.; Marler, Janet H.; Gueutal, Hal G.
Journal of Vocational Behavior, v73 n1 p107-117 Aug 2008
This study investigated individual and organizational factors that predict an individual's choice to use flexible work arrangements (FWAs). Survey data was collected from 144 employees in two different organizations. The results revealed several significant predictors of FWAs: tenure, hours worked per week, supervisory responsibilities, perceptions of workgroup use and personal lifestyle. Individuals with longer tenure in the organization, who had supervisory responsibilities, had coworkers in their immediate workgroup who used FWAs or had personal lifestyle preferences were more likely to use the programs than those with less tenure, who did not have supervisory responsibilities, did not perceive their workgroup used FWAs or did not have personal lifestyle preferences. (Contains 2 tables.)
