| Abstract: | In the first quasi-experimental field study, trial group employees were changed from a 5/40 to a 4/40 work schedule for 4 months then returned to a 5/40 schedule. In Study 2, they were changed from a 5/40 to flextime.The results help to understand the nature and scope of reactions to alternative work schedules. Factors related to organizational effectiveness were enhanced where specific needs were met. The most powerful effect was on worker attitudes toward specific work schedules. |
