ABSTRACT:
Nowadays,
flexible working hours are becoming important to the workplaces. A lot of
organizations offer flexible working hours to employees due to the benefits
that flexibility gives to both employee and employer. Greater employee
productivity and higher organization profitability are the most common
benefits. Also, flexible working hours promote and facilitate work-life
balance. Reduced stress and increased employee wellbeing are outcomes of the
work-life balance. In this paper, the relationship between flexible working
hours and work-life balance is investigated.
