essays.uk, ProCon.org, or quora.com or similar sites where students upload assignments or where anyone is free to post their
opinion to the internet is unacceptable.
 Supporting evidence must be taken from English language sources. note: Colombian news sites in English do exist.

The reason for putting information about your sources is to:

 organize and keep track of your information
 make writing your bibliography easier

Summary
Flexibility in workplace takes a variety of forms. As flexible work arrangements in newly created jobs are increasing in many countries,
the topic is creating continued interest, and some concern, for researchers, policy makers, employers, unions, and the public at large.
The purpose of this book is to present research results of the IIRA Flexible Work Patterns Study Group’s members. Their research
focuses on flexibility strategies in workplaces and their effects on individual workers and their families, the workenvironment, and the
unions.

Summary

Changes in work organisation are key to increasing flexibility in workplace practices. Accounting for firm

characteristics, such changes can help reduce the large inequalities in access to or the use of flexible

arrangements.

Time flexibility can be promoted by different means. For instance, a system of “core working time” can be

set up, which involves staff members to be at work for a period specified by the employer, while the

employee has discretion over when to work an agreed number of hours over a fixed period

Summary

Ellen Galinsky, Kelly Sakai, and Tyler Wigton explore the “time famine” among American workers—the continuing sense among
employees of not having enough time to manage the multiple responsibilities of work and personal and family life. Noting that large
shares of U.S. employees report feeling the need for greater workplace flexibility to enable them to take better care of family
responsibilities, the authors examine a large-scale community-engagement initiative to increase workplace flexibility voluntarily. Using
the 2008 National Study of the Changing Workforce as a primary source of data, the authors begin with an overview of the prevalence
of flexibility in today’s American workplace. They track which categories of employees have access to various flexibility options, as well
as the extent to which employees with access to various types of flexibility use those options. Findings from the study indicate that the
majority of employees want flexibility but that access to it varies, with more advantaged employees—those who are well educated,
have high salaries, and work full time, for example—being doubly advantaged in having greater access to flexibility. A number of
employers, say the authors, tend to be skeptical of the value of workplace flexibility and to fear that employees will abuse it if it is
offered. But the study data reveal that most employees use flexibility quite conservatively. When the authors use their nationally
representative data set to investigate correlations between access to workplace flexibility and a range of workplace outcomes
especially valued by employers—employee engagement, job satisfaction, retention, and health—they find that employers as well as
employees can benefit from flexibility. Finally, the authors discuss When Work Works, a large, national community-based initiative
under way since 2003 to increase voluntary adoption of workplace flexibility. The authors detail the conceptual basis of the project’s
design, noting its emphasis on flexibility as one component of effective workplaces that can benefit employers, employees, and
communities alike. Galinsky, Sakai, and Wigton conclude by drawing lessons learned from the project and briefly discussing the
implications of using research to bring about workplace change.

Summary

Both work-to-family conflict and work-to-family enrichment are mediating mechanisms in the relationship of schedule flexibility with
outcomes. More specifically, full mediation was found for job satisfaction and family performance for both enrichment and conflict while
partial mediation was found for family satisfaction with enrichment only and mediation was not supported for job performance. Finally,
gender moderated the schedule flexibility to work-family conflict relationship such that women benefited more from flexible working
arrangements than men.
