Flexible Work Schedule Dimensions, Perceived Time, Autonomy and Employee Responses

Abstract

A 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.
