The incidence and impact of flexitime work arrangements
The incidence and impact of flexitime work arrangements
The incidence and impact of flexitime programs in Britain are assessed by using a linked dataset of employers and employees. Organizations adopt this practice for a variety of reasons, ranging from the concern for widening the scope for employee choice to the need to comply with public regulations. Recent public regulations are based on the premise that a long hours working culture exists in society that results in low levels of job satisfaction and ill and stressed employees. The results from the British 1998 Workplace Employee Relations Survey data show a significant relationship between flexitime and various establishment and employee characteristics. There is a weak relationship between flexitime and measures of job control and, more important, the relationship is negative between flexitime and employee stress and job security.

Abstract
The incidence and impact of flexitime programs in Britain are assessed by using a linked dataset of employers and employees. Organizations adopt this practice for a variety of reasons, ranging from the concern for widening the scope for employee choice to the need to comply with public regulations. Recent public regulations are based on the premise that a long hours working culture exists in society that results in low levels of job satisfaction and ill and stressed employees. The results from the British 1998 Workplace Employee Relations Survey data show a significant relationship between flexitime and various establishment and employee characteristics. There is a weak relationship between flexitime and measures of job control and, more important, the relationship is negative between flexitime and employee stress and job security.
