Abstract:
In the Philippines, more and more organizations are offering flexible work schedule arrangements due to the increasing demand for more efficient ways of getting jobs done. Flexitime, the most frequently applied and most preferred organizational flexibility strategy, permits workers to start and end work at their chosen time; thus, supporting employee work-life balance. As such, the purpose of this study is focused on exploring the relationship between work schedule, specifically perception of flexitime, and selected work-related variables affecting job performance through quantitative and qualitative research methods. A 56-item survey designed to measure work-related attitudes and behaviors contributing to job performance was electronically distributed to 60 employees of Summit Media by simple random sampling. Interviews with 5 employees were also conducted to further support the quantitative data from the survey. Results, analyzed using Pearson's r, showed strong correlations between the independent variable, flexitime, and the dependent variables, work attitudes and behaviors (organizational support, obligation-feeling, job satisfaction, work motivation, employee involvement, and organizational commitment), which proved that there is a significant relationship between perception of flexitime and selected work-related variables that contribute to job performance.
