Item An Annotated Review of Alternative Work Schedules(Bureau of Business and Economic Research, 1978-07) Pierce, Jon L; Newstrom, John W; Kuhlmann, Diane OItem Discretionary Time and Employee Behavior, Motivation, Organizational Attachment, and Satisfaction(Bureau of Business and Economic Research, 1980) Pierce, Jon L; Newstrom, John WThis quasi-experimental investigation compared employee job satisfaction, intention to quit, work attendance, productivity, and work related motivation across four work schedules. The data were derived from four organizations operating in the insurance industry with similar production technologies. Hypothesized systematic and significant differences in these employee responses comprising a positive linear relationship with increases in discretionary time was not supported, yet enployee job satisfaction and absenteeism were significantly worse in the fixed hour group relative to the extended flexitime group. Employee perceptions of work scheduling discretion did reveal a significant and positive linear relationship with job satisfaction and a significant negative association with absenteeism.Item Employee Responses to Flexible Work Schedules: An Inter-Organization, Inter-System Comparison(Bureau of Business and Economic Research, 1980) Pierce, Jon L; Newstrom, John WA quasi-experimental investigation compared employee responses to the amount of discretionary time across four work schedules (a fixed hour and three variations of flexible work schedules). Hypothesized systematic differences in employee responses comprising a positive linear relationship with increases in discretionary time was not supported. Employee perceptions of time autonomy, however, did reveal a significant linear relationship with organizational attachment, organizational attendance, symptoms of stress, and job and off-job attitudes.Item Flexible Work Schedule Dimensions, Perceived Time, Autonomy and Employee Responses(Bureau of Business and Economic Research, 1980) Pierce, Jon L; Newstrom, John WA quasi-experimental study investigated the relationship between work schedule features, employee perceptions of time autonomy, and selected employee attitude and behavior variables. Evidence exists suggesting that increased opportunities for employee involvement in work-nonwork time management increases perceptions of time autonomy which in turn has a linear association with employee affective responses. Selected work schedule features were also identified that relate to employee attitudes and behaviors.Item The Role of Feedback and Disclosure in Shaping Work Relationships(Bureau of Business and Economic Research, 1985) Newstrom, John W; Rubenfeld, Stephen AItem A Role-Taker/Time Differentiated Integration of Transfer Strategies(Bureau of Business and Economic Research, 1984) Newstrom, John WItem Toward a Conceptual Clarification of Employee Responses to Flexible Working Hours: A Work Adjustment Approach(Bureau of Business and Economic Research, 1980) Pierce, Jon L; Newstrom, John WAn elaboration of Dawis, England and Lofquist's (1968) work adjustment model has been employed to explain how flexible working hours can influence employee satisfaction, performance, absenteeism, tenure, organizational commitment, and job involvement. Through need fulfillment, stress reduction, and the harmonization of work with human diurnal rhythms, flexible working hours can contribute to a greater correspondence between (1) an individual's abilities and the ability requirements of the job, and (2) an individual's needs and the reinforcement of those needs by the work environment.
