Flexible work designs and employee well‐being: examining the effects of resources and demands
基于工作要求-资源模型，研究了灵活工作设计通过增强工作生活平衡、自主性和有效沟通提升员工幸福感，但也通过增加干扰降低幸福感，样本量为999。
Advances in communication technology continue to expand the possibilities for redesigning work environments to allow for temporal and spatial flexibility. Although flexible work designs ( FWDs ) are typically launched with high expectations, recent research shows that FWDs also pose challenges to employees and can even impede employee well‐being. Based on the J ob D emands– R esources model, we argue that FWDs offer both advantages ( FWD ‐related resources) and challenges ( FWD ‐related demands) to employee well‐being. The results ( n = 999) show that FWDs are related to employee well‐being through several positive and one negative pathways. FWDs are positively associated with employee well‐being through enhanced work/life balance, autonomy, and effective communication and negatively associated with employee well‐being through increased interruptions. Thus, we introduce a framework that reveals the underlying positive and negative mechanisms in the relationship between FWDs and employee well‐being.
