Abstract

Abstract It is commonly agreed, flexible work arrangements (FWA) could bring many benefits to both employees and employers. With the increased prevalence of team-based work structures, collaborative jobs with limited independence may also limit the advantages of FWA. This research is designed to investigate the moderating effect of perceived work independence in the relationship between different flexible work arrangements (flex time, flex leave, and working from home) and turnover intention. Mixed-effect modeling analysis is done using data collected from the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) Work Orientation 2015, which consists of 35 nationally representative samples with a total number of 16, 920 responses. The results show that perceived job independence significantly moderates the relationship between flexible work arrangements and turnover intention. Employees who perceived their jobs as highly independent have a lower turnover intention when flex time, flex leave or working from home were used, while interdependent employees who work from home and uses flex time may have greater intention to leave. The results conclude that providing FWA alone is not enough to retain talents in organizations. Employees will stay in the same organization when their jobs, simultaneously, are designed to allow some sole control over their work content.

弹性工作制对离职倾向的影响:工作独立性是否重要?
摘要弹性工作制(FWA)可以为员工和雇主带来许多好处,这是人们普遍认为的。随着以团队为基础的工作结构的日益流行,独立性有限的协作工作也可能限制FWA的优势。本研究旨在探讨感知工作独立性在不同弹性工作安排(弹性工作时间、弹性休假和在家办公)与离职倾向之间的调节作用。混合效应建模分析使用从国际社会调查计划(ISSP) 2015年工作方向收集的数据进行,其中包括35个具有全国代表性的样本,共有16,920个响应。结果表明,工作独立性感知显著调节弹性工作安排与离职倾向之间的关系。认为自己的工作高度独立的员工在使用弹性工作时间、弹性休假或在家工作时离职意愿较低,而在家工作和使用弹性工作时间的相互依赖的员工可能有更大的离职意愿。结果表明,仅提供员工福利不足以留住组织中的人才。当员工的工作同时被设计成允许对他们的工作内容有一定的控制权时,他们就会留在同一个组织里。
