Abstract: | Contemporary HR practices in the business organizations today have moot concerns towards managing workplace in such a way
that it is desirable for both employees and employers. This study proposes to assess the consequences of workplace arrangement
promoting the individualization of employment conditions, i.e. flexible working hours- part time work and telecommuting. The
implications of flexible working hours on the development opportunities available to employees and on work-family conflict
are suggested. It is argued that flexibility at work place in terms of part time work and telecommuting options have the potential
to reduce work-family conflict and reduced development opportunities among employees. It is concluded that work life balance
depends on the fit between the schedule that employee needs and the actual number of hours worked. To this end effective use
of flexible hours at work place needs to be identified and implemented. |
