Understanding Workplace Flexibility in State Agencies: What Facilitates Employee Access?
研究了政府机构中员工获得弹性工作时间和弹性职业（如职业中断、工作分享、减少工时）的影响因素，发现机构策略和动机增强员工获得，而机构结构影响有限。
The case for workplace flexibility has been largely established in the private sector, yet little is known about what facilitates or constrains employee access to flexibility options in governmental agencies. Focused on both flextime and flexible careers (career breaks, job sharing, and reduced hours), this study investigates how agency strategies, motives, resources, structure, and stakeholders shape employee access to workplace flexibility. The findings suggest that employee access to workplace flexibility is largely enhanced by strategic effort and agency motives, whereas agency structure shows limited impact. Agencies with bigger budgets provide employees more access to flextime, and those short of critical human capital tend to offer more options for flexible careers. This study concludes with the discussion of research findings and potential policy implications.
