Impact of Workplace Flexibility on Employee and Organizational Performance in the Manufacturing Industry: An Empirical Study of Demographical Construct

Abstract

This comprehensive study rigorously explores the effects of flexible work schedules on workplace flexibility and their subsequent impacts on work-life balance and performance outcomes. It delves into the positive impacts of work-from-home policies and flexible work schedules on workplace flexibility and carefully examines how workplace flexibility influences work-life balance. The study further analyzes the significant effects of work-life balance on both employee performance and organizational performance. Additionally, it meticulously examines the moderating role of management intervention in the relationship between workplace flexibility and work-life balance, as well as the mediating effect of work-life balance between workplace flexibility and performance outcomes. The comprehensive demographic analysis of 460 respondents enhances the generalizability of the results. Factor analysis confirms the distinctiveness of various flexibility scales within the demographic data, while reliability analysis, using Cronbach's Alpha, demonstrates high internal consistency across different flexibility measures, thus upholding the validity of the study's findings. This research offers crucial insights for organizations aiming to enhance efficiency and competitiveness through improved flexibility, strategic integration, and robust organizational infrastructure..
