Abstract

In this study the role of two types of flexibility, based on time and place, on work-family conflict was investigated among employed women who have at least one child age of 6 or younger. Although the role of flexibility has been studied in previous studies it is novel to compare types of flexibility among mothers in Turkey. Participants were asked to complete a 15 minutes online survey. One hundred and fifty employed mothers who have at least one child age of 6 or younger were participated. In order to test the hypothesis linear regression analyses were conducted. Results showed that for work-family conflict, temporal flexibility is important whereas for family-work conflict operational flexibility is much more important. This study highlighted the differences between flexible work arrangements which is beneficial for human resources departments and public policy practices. Therefore, they can consider new plans which will be developed at workplace for offering flexibility in order to deal with work-family conflict.

Özet

Bu çalışmada iki tür esneklik türü olarak zamana ve mekana bağlı esnekliğin, 6 ya da daha küçük yaşta en az bir çocuğu olan çalışan annelerin iş-aile çatışmalarındaki rolü araştırılmıştır. Esneklik uygulamalarının rolü daha önceki bazı çalışmalarda ele alınmış olsa da, bu çalışma Türkiye’de çalışan annelerde farklı esneklik türlerinin karşılaştırılması açısından yeni bir çalışmadır. Katılımcılardan 15 dakika süren çevrimiçi bir ankete katılmaları istenmiştir. Araştırmaya 6 ya da daha küçük yaşta en az bir çocuğu olan 150 çalışan anne katılmıştır. Hipotezleri test etmek için doğrusal regresyon analizi yapılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçları iş-aile çatışmalarında zamana bağlı esnekliğin önemli olduğunu, aile-iş çatışmaların da ise mekansal esnekliğin daha öncelikli olduğunu göstermiştir. Bu araştırma özellikle insan kaynakları departmanlarında ve kamu politikaları için faydalı olacağı düşünülen farklı esnek işyeri uygulamaları arasındaki farka dikkat çekmektedir. Böylece çalışanların yaşadıkları iş-aile çatışmalarıyla mücadele edebilmek için işyerinde geliştirilebilecek esneklik planlamaları yapılabilir.
