“…Some suggest that only half of employees work a standard fixed daytime work schedule five days a week (Kossek & Michel 2011). Professionals and those higher in the organizational hierarchy are more likely to have some control over their work scheduling than lower level employees (Kossek & Michel 2011). Freelance workers have more control over their work schedule due to the independent nature of their work.…”

Alternative work arrangements continue to increase in number and variety. We review the literature on alternative work arrangements published since the most recent major review of nonstandard work by Ashford et al. (2007). We look across the research findings to identify three dimensions of flexibility that undergird alternative work arrangements: (a) flexibility in the employment relationship, (b) flexibility in the scheduling of work, and (c) flexibility in where work is accomplished. We identify two images of the new world of work-one for high-skill workers who choose alternative work arrangements and the other for low-skill workers who struggle to make a living and are beholden to the needs of the organization. We close with future directions for research and practice for tending to the first image and moving away from the second image of the new world of work.

“…Kossek and Michel (2011) maintain that studies show working at night shift, especially rotating shifts or a swing shifts, even when by choice, is generally bad for health due to disruption of sleep patterns; often there is less control over the ability to develop an established sleep schedule and consequently the performance of workers are affected by sleep disruption (Kossek and Michel, 2011). show more commitment to OCB (α≤ 0.030, p<0.05).…”

Organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) is one of the most important issues that recently have gained special attention in studying organizations including hospitals. Recent studies show that employees demonstrate special interest in OCB and it can be influenced by their demographic characteristics. This study was designed to investigate the relationship between OCB and demographic characteristics (including sex, marital status, academic qualification, type of profession, age, salary and wages, ethnicity, type of employment, department/office, job position, and duration of employment,) in the selected Tehran's hospitals. The study was descriptive cross-sectional. The sample includes 333 employees of the selected hospitals chosen based on multistage sampling. Hypothesis was tested through Mann-Whitney and Kruskal Wallis tests and one-way ANOVA. The results showed that, all demographic characteristics, except ethnicity, had significant effect on OCB. The relationship between demographic characteristics and OCB was analyzed and specific managerial strategies and implications were suggested.

“…Unfortunately, the empirical foundation for these studies have been inconsistent, with some postulating that schedule flexibility caused less work-family conflict when individuals frequently accessed their control of their schedules (Byron, 2005;Kossek & Michel, 2011;Thomas & Ganster, 1995). Other research, however, found work-family conflict to be independent of schedule flexibility (Kossek, Lautsch, & Eaton, 2006).…”

Modern day entrepreneurs who operate in today's highly volatile socioeconomic circumstances are undeniably encumbered with a host of role stressors that affect their businesses and personal lives, namely role overload, role ambiguity and role conflict. Coupled with work schedule flexibility, these role stressors have a bearing on work-family conflict and are the focus of this study. Employing self-administered questionnaires via purposive sampling, data were collected from Malaysian entrepreneurs, married with at least one child. Results derived utilising the Partial Least Square (PLS) approach suggest that role conflict and role overload positively affect work-family conflict. However, role ambiguity and work schedule flexibility indicate insignificant effect on work-family conflict. Given a multitude of challenges faced by entrepreneurs in this context, an understanding of the findings can bring to light some insights on how work-family balance can be achieved to boost the development of Malaysian entrepreneurs.
