Analysis

The Work Schedule Flexibility Satisfaction Scale evaluates how satisfied employees are with the flexibility of their work schedule. Work schedule flexibility includes the employees’ ability to adjust their working hours, work remotely, or choose alternative forms of work that meet their personal needs and obligations.

Purpose

The purpose of the scale is to identify how satisfied employees are with the flexibility provided in their work schedule. Assessing this aspect can help organizations understand how flexibility affects employee satisfaction, their productivity, and the overall balance between professional and personal life.

Calibration

The scale typically uses questions answered on a Likert scale (e.g., from “1 = Strongly disagree” to “5 = Strongly agree”). Responses are analyzed to determine the degree of employee satisfaction with the various aspects of work schedule flexibility.
