Abstract:

Abstract Employees experience challenges managing home and work. The increase of women in the workforce, single-parents, childcare, elder care responsibilities, and men in nontraditional roles warrant changes in traditional working hours and flexibility in work schedules. Through the theoretical frameworks of work-family conflict, spillover, border, and boundary theories, the purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore how flexible work arrangements (FWAs) assisted employees in meeting work and family obligations. Minimal research is available in the defense industry and the use of F

Abstract:

This thesis by published papers presents a case study into the organisational dynamics that shape supervisor support for flexible work arrangements. The research findings show that supervisor support is influenced by organisation-wide signals of support, the views and behaviours of senior managers, and the structural supports provided by the HR function. The research deepens knowledge of HR systems and organisation support, and has important implications for how organisations implement flexible work arrangements.

Abstract:

Organisations are increasingly introducing flexible workplace practices and policies such as flextime and flexplace to increase the commitment of their employees and assist them to balance the competing work-life demands. At first, they were designed to create a family-friendly workplace for working mothers and, later, also for working fathers. Childfree employees (i.e., those with no children) were not included. There is little research on the impact of these work arrangements on the organisational commitment of these childfree employees. This dissertation tries to close that gap. Childfree e

Findings suggest that flexibility in place of work has positive effects on employee-supervisor relationships but negative effects on co-worker relationships.
