| Abstract: | Based on the theory of planned behaviour, 18 focus groups with 113 unemployed women and 150 mail questionnaires are used to investigate whether and how unemployed Cypriot women's subjective norms, attitudes, perceived behavioural control and job versus career desires affect their intentions to adopt employee- and employer-driven flexible work arrangements. A combination of content analysis, an external panel of practitioners and academics, principal components analysis, and regressions were used. Findings indicate that women's positive attitudes towards child-caring and self-improvement and their subjective norms of organizational inflexibility were positively connected with intentions to adopt flexible work arrangements. |
