Abstract

Recent developments in information and communication technology have led to renewed interest in the impact of flexible work on work-related outcomes such as job satisfaction, organizational identification and work engagement. Although there is a vast amount of literature indicating the positive association between job autonomy and work-related outcomes, there has been little discussion about the contextual conditions that strengthen this relationship. This paper analyzes the role of perceived organizational alignment as a conditional factor and shows that autonomy alone cannot explain an organization’s success in improving work-related outcomes. An analysis of online survey from 481 employees shows that the perceived organizational alignment moderates the positive effect of autonomy on work-related outcomes in the context of flexible work. For employees who perceive organizational alignment to be high, the positive relationships are strengthened for work engagement and organizational identification, but attenuated for job satisfaction. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.

弹性工作与工作相关成果:感知组织一致性的作用
信息和通信技术的最新发展使人们重新关注灵活工作对工作成果的影响,如工作满意度、组织认同和工作投入。尽管有大量的文献表明工作自主性和工作成果之间存在正相关关系,但关于加强这种关系的背景条件的讨论却很少。本文分析了感知组织一致性作为一个条件因素的作用,并表明自主本身不能解释组织在改善工作相关结果方面的成功。一项对481名员工的在线调查分析表明,在灵活工作环境下,组织一致性的感知调节了自主性对工作成果的积极影响。对于那些认为组织一致性高的员工,积极关系在工作投入和组织认同方面得到加强,但在工作满意度方面减弱。讨论了这些发现的理论和实践意义。
