Ferdous, Tahrima (2020) Flexible work practices and employee outcomes: The role of gender, social support and flexibility stigma. Master of Philosophy thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

Through the lens of social exchange theory and signalling theory, this study investigates the impact of perceived availability of flexible work practices (FWPs) and usage of FWPs on employee outcomes namely performance, wellbeing, work-life balance, turnover intentions and career consequences. Utilising gender role and ecological systems theory, it also explores the moderating effects of gender, social support and flexibility stigma on FWPs-employee outcomes relationship. Using survey data, this study finds positive impacts of FWPs on wellbeing, work-life balance and negative impact on turnover intentions. The findings provide insights to practitioners and policymakers into the relationship between FWPs and employee outcomes.
