Change of work schedule and its implications during financial crisis: the case of the Philippines
研究了菲律宾十家制造企业在金融危机期间采用弹性工作制或缩短工作周对员工工作满意度和工作压力的影响,发现工作日程变更显著影响满意度但对压力无显著影响。
This study was conducted on the human resource management response of ten manufacturing companies in the Philippines to the financial crisis that affected the country. Instead of implementing manpower reduction, the companies adopted either flexitime or working-week reduction. The study tried to capture the effects of this approach on employees' job satisfaction and work stress. The study deduced that the change of work schedule affected the level of job satisfaction significantly but did not elicit the same effect in the area of work stress. The results negated the expectations of the management. Employees' perception of their work schedule is among the different factors that affect their job satisfaction.
