Abstract

Flexible working arrangements are becoming increasingly popular. Many organizations implement it to provide employees the flexibility to decrease work nonwork conflict and enhance their psychological well-being. In return, organizations expect higher commitment and productivity from their employees. This paper aims to critically appraise what is known in the scientific literature about the effects of flexible working intervention on both work nonwork conflict and employees’ psychological well-being. Using the guidelines provided by the Center for Evidence-Based Management for Critically Appraised Topics. The assessed literature indicates that flexible working arrangements can reduce work-nonwork conflict depending on the type of flexibility the organization adopts. Additionally, introducing different flexible working arrangements improves employees' psychological well-being.
