Abstract Flexible work hours potentially influence productivity through effects on absenteeism and turnover, organizational attachment, job attitudes, work‐related stress, and other areas. Prior studies suggest positive effects on productivity but are inconclusive because of small sample sizes, failure to apply direct productivity measures, or failure to account for other associated changes. We apply alternative fixed‐ and random‐effects models to estimate production functions using panel data, with controls included for firm effects, time effects, capital quality, autocorrelation, and specification error. The results suggest that flexible work schedules contribute to improvements of about 10 percent in productivity.

Flexible work hours potentially influence productivity through effects on absenteeism & turnover, organizational attachment, job attitudes, work-related stress, & other areas. Prior research suggests positive effects on productivity, but are inconclusive because of small sample sizes, failure to apply direct productivity measures, or failure to account for other associated changes. Here, alternative fixed- & random-effects models are used to estimate production functions using panel data on 36 US pharmaceutical companies, 1981-1991, with controls included for firm effects, time effects, capital quality, autocorrelation, & specification error. The results suggest that flexible work schedules contribute to improvements of about 10% in productivity. 2 Tables, 27 References. Adapted from the source document.
