Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh flexible working arrangement, worklife balance terhadap digital transformasi serta implikasinya terhadap produktivitas kerja. Saat ini dan mungkin perusahaan terpaksa karena pandemi covid-19 untuk menerapkan sistem kerja yang fleksibel. System kerja yang fleksibel sudah banyak diterapkan di perusahaan asing/multinasional sebelum terjadinya pandemi covid-19 dengan sistem kerja yang fleksibel perusahaan juga mengharapkan worklife balance karyawannya tetap terjaga dan peningkatan kemampuan pada digitalisasi/teknologi. Dengan pendekatan kuantitatif penelitian ini dilakukan berbasis explanatory research. Sampel yang diambil sebanyak 200 responden dari berbagai jenis perusahaan dengan menggunakan pendekatan analisis SEM berbasis aplikasi AMOS versi 23.0. Berdasarkan hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa flexible working arrangement, worklife balance berpengaruh signifikan terhadap digital transformasi serta berimplikasi signifikan terhadap produktivitas kerja dilihat dari hasil uji Goodness of Fit (GoF), Reliabilitas dengan Uji Construct Reliability (CR) yaitu menguji keandalan dan konsistensi data, dimana kriteria Construct Reliability (CR) nya adalah > 0,7 dan nilai Variant Extracted nya (AVE) > 0,5, serta hasil uji Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) untuk CR ≥ 1,96 dan p-value ≤ 0.05. Abstract This study aims to determine the effect of flexible working arrangements, work-life balance on digital transformation and their implications for work productivity. Currently and perhaps companies are forced due to the covid-19 pandemic to implement a flexible work system. A flexible work system has been widely applied in foreign/multinational companies prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. With a flexible work system, the company also expects the work-life balance of its employees to be maintained and their ability to increase in digitalization/technology. With a quantitative approach this research was conducted based on explanatory research. Samples were taken as many as 200 respondents from various types of companies using SEM analysis approach based on AMOS application version 23.0. Based on the analysis results show that flexible working arrangement, worklife balance have a significant effect on digital transformation and have significant implications for work productivity seen from the results of the Goodness of Fit (GoF) test, Reliability with the Construct Reliability (CR) test, namely testing the reliability and consistency of the data, where the criteria The Construct Reliability (CR) is > 0.7 and the Variant Extracted value (AVE) is > 0.5, and the results of the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) test for CR 1.96 and p-value 0.05.

The Problem. An increasing number of organizations are experiencing concerns from employees regarding work-life balance. Organizations that have chosen to implement formal flexible work arrangements (FWAs) have experienced reluctance from their employees to participate. COVID-19 has forced the hand further toward FWAs, and created additional work life balance concerns. The Solution. FWAs present an opportunity for organizations to address work-life balance concerns, especially amid the black swan event of COVID-19. Implementing FWAs provides opportunity for organizations to reduce turnover and facilitate employee development through work life balance programs. The Stakeholders. The informal processes of FWAs should receive due attention by HRD practitioners and scholars alike.

AbstractThis study examines the prevalence and the gender differences in the perceptions and experiences of flexibility stigma—i.e., the belief that workers who use flexible working arrangements for care purposes are less productive and less committed to the workplace. This is done by using the 4th wave of the Work-Life Balance Survey conducted in 2011 in the UK. The results show that 35% of all workers agree to the statement that those who work flexibly generate more work for others, and 32% believe that those who work flexibly have lower chances for promotion. Although at first glance, men are more likely to agree to both, once other factors are controlled for, women especially mothers are more likely to agree to the latter statement. Similarly, men are more likely to say they experienced negative outcomes due to co-workers working flexibly, while again mothers are more likely to say they experienced negative career consequences due to their own flexible working. The use of working time reducing arrangements, such as part-time, is a major reason why people experience negative career outcomes, and can partially explain why mothers are more likely to suffer from such outcomes when working flexibly. However, this relationship could be reverse, namely, the stigma towards part-time workers may be due to negative perceptions society hold towards mothers’ commitment to work and their productivity. In sum, this paper shows that flexibility stigma is gendered, in that men are more likely to discriminate against flexible workers, while women, especially mothers, are more likely to suffer from such discrimination.

This study aimed to analyse the impact of flexible work arrangements on the employee performance of employees in private Egyptian universities in Alexandria, mediated by work-life balance (applied to the Arab Academy for Science, Technology, and Maritime Transport). institutions to retain talented people, raise the efficiency of employee performance, and thus raise the efficiency of institutional performance and competitive capabilities of organizations. The researcher used the descriptive analytical method and the questionnaire as a tool for data collection, to measure the impact of flexible work arrangements (focusing on reducing working hours, benefits provided to employees, work policies towards parenting) on the work-life balance, and the extent of the impact of all this on raising the efficiency of employees' employee performance. A stratified random sample of 423 employees was used, and the data collected was analysed using SPSS and AMOS statistical software. The findings revealed a positive relationship between flexible work arrangements (reduced working hours, benefits provided to employees, and work policies toward parenting) and employee performance, as well as a positive relationship between flexible work arrangements and work-life balance, as well as a positive relationship between work-life balance and employee performance, and the researcher recommends implementing such policies.The recommendations also include the need to review current labour laws before legislators, and update them in line with contemporary technological development and the requirement to achieve a balance between the requirements of life and work. This study also recommends the adoption of reducing working hours as one of the flexible work policies offered by organisations to employees. The study concludes that flexible work arrangements and programmes are in fact a competitive tool that organisations can use to increase loyalty, improve performance, achieve commitment and job satisfaction, which enhances the organization's productivity.

This paper investigates teleworkers' efficiency in Japan in the COVID-19 era by using unique survey data on telework. Many Japanese workers started teleworking during the pandemic and found both benefits as well as impediments. Overall, we find that telework experience and the work environment (e.g., having clearly specified tasks and a flexible working system), changes in work-life balance (e.g., working time), and good mental health improves teleworkers' efficiency.

Foreseeing the needs and availability of anaesthesiologists across Europe is a challenging task. This is influenced by different factors that include the composition of the workforce and the organization and structure of health services in every country. Some trends call for attention, such as changes in work patterns brought about by an ageing specialist population, the increasing numbers of women in anaesthesia, or cultural and societal shifts towards work-life balance. Anaesthesiology is a challenging specialty with an expanding scope of practice, requiring highly motivated professionals, frequent long work hours, and addressing stressful situations often. To ensure quality anaesthesia provision, the wellbeing of this diverse population of anaesthesiologists should be addressed. Achieving rational and flexible work hours, adequate compensation, and promotion of a workplace culture that fosters safety, motivation to learn, and equal opportunities for leadership or academia positions are challenges to be addressed to make sure that excellence in patient care is maintained.
