Abstract
This thesis explores the impact of flexible work arrangements on employee job satisfaction and performance in the modern workplace. The concept of flexible work arrangements has gained significant attention in recent years as organizations strive to create more inclusive and supportive work environments. This study aims to examine how different forms of flexibility, such as telecommuting, flexible hours, and compressed workweeks, influence employee job satisfaction and performance. The research methodology employed in this study includes a comprehensive literature review to provide a theoretical foundation for the investigation. The literature review covers various aspects of flexible work arrangements, job satisfaction, and performance, highlighting the benefits and challenges associated with each. Additionally, the study utilizes a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews to gather data from employees and managers within different organizations. The findings of this study reveal that flexible work arrangements have a positive impact on employee job satisfaction and performance. Employees who have access to flexible work options report higher levels of job satisfaction, increased work-life balance, and improved overall well-being. Furthermore, organizations that implement flexible work policies experience higher employee retention rates, increased productivity, and enhanced organizational performance. The implications of these findings are significant for both organizations and employees. By understanding the benefits of flexible work arrangements, organizations can design policies that meet the diverse needs of their workforce and create a more engaged and productive work environment. Employees, on the other hand, can leverage flexible work options to enhance their job satisfaction, achieve better work-life balance, and improve their overall performance. In conclusion, this thesis contributes to the growing body of literature on flexible work arrangements and their impact on employee job satisfaction and performance. The findings suggest that organizations that embrace flexibility as part of their workplace culture can gain a competitive advantage by attracting and retaining top talent, while employees can benefit from a more fulfilling and rewarding work experience. Overall, the study highlights the importance of flexible work arrangements in creating a positive and supportive work environment in the modern workplace.
