Flexitime in an Army Medical Center.
Abstract
The compressed and flexible workweeks have been receiving increased attention in the federal government. The use of variable work schedules, known as flexitime, allows employees some latitude in establishing their starting and stopping times on the job. The flexible working hours scheme is not applicable to the enhancement of the work environment in all departments of all organizations. The objectives of the present study were: to determine the effects of flexitime on staff perceptions and to determine whether there are differences between activities on flexitime versus activities not on flexitime. The overall results of the study suggest that flexitime is perceived as more demanding on supervisors and those with specific types of responsibilities (like direct patient care).
