Abstract
Many workers do not utilise the flexible work options to which they have access nor do they necessarily have access to all options officially provided by their organisations.
This study sheds light on these gaps using probit models with sample selection to predict access to and utilisation of fourteen flexible options.
The findings highlight the roles of supervisor support, occupation, and work-life culture. The influence of each of these factors on access and utilisation differs.
Hazel’s comment:
I wonder how comparable the findings of this US-based study are to the situation in the UK. I would guess that the two situations are little different.
