Abstract
A study was made of the effects of flexitime (flexible working hours) on: 1. employee flexibility, 2. relations with co-workers, 3. relations between superiors and subordinates, 4. quality of supervision, 5. productivity, and 6. absenteeism. Nonexempt workers in a large company were subjects of a flexitime experiment and were compared to a control group. Subjects completed questionnaires 15 days before the implementation of flexitime and 3 months into the program. Absenteeism was measured using company records. Flexitime subjects reported significant enhancement of flexibility, workgroup relations, and superior-subordinate relations. Subject-group absenteeism was about 1/3 that of the control group. Quality of supervision and productivity were not significantly affected, suggesting the need to include supervisory training, job rotation, and changes in managerial techniques in initiating a flexitime system.
