The Impact of Flexible Scheduling on Employee Attendance and Turnover.

Dalton, Dan R.; Mesch, Debra J.

Administrative Science Quarterly, v35 n2 p370-87 Jun 1990

Implementation of an experimental flexible scheduling program was basis for a naturally occurring field experiment. Results of a six-year assessment indicate significant reductions in employee absenteeism in a large subunit of a public utility company after the flexible scheduling intervention for the experimental group. No such changes were evident in the control group. Turnover was unaffected. (57 references) (MLH)
