“…Additionally, during the pandemic period, many workers indicated having presented problems of work stress and other psychological illnesses. In 2021, 51% of mexican workers reported to be stressed; in a study conducted in Mexico by the firm Deloitte in the year 2022, the search for well-being had become the priority for workers (Ballesteros et al. , 2023), something that was replicated in several countries and which, it is believed, is the cause of the resignation of a large number of workers to seek more flexible jobs, and a problem for companies that were unable to retain employees.…”

PurposeThis research aims to determine the influence that work flexibility (WF) has on the happiness of workers through the work and personal life balance, work-life balance (WLB), as a mediating variable, as well as the moderating role of gender between WLB and job happiness (JH). A structural model that describes the interactions between these study variables is proposed.Design/methodology/approachA quantitative approach was used. The data were collected by non-probabilistic sampling, surveying 200 mid-level employees in small and medium industrial enterprises (industrial SMEs). The proposed hypotheses were analyzed and tested using partial least squares structural equation modeling.FindingsThe results confirmed the hypotheses presented. In the relation of WLB and JH, positive work-family and family-work interactions would result in a greater increase in JH in the women group compared to men, and special characteristics were found in the variables in the Mexican context.Practical implicationsThis study will provide information to those responsible for the human resources departments of companies to design and implement good practices in which importance can be given to labor agreements involving WF and the implementation of WLB policies differentiated by gender to generate happiness at work.Originality/valueThe JH construct proposed by Fisher (2010) was applied, and its relationship with WF and WLB in a post-pandemic context was studied. The research applied to supervisors and area managers of industrial SMEs reflects the importance of considering the balance between their life and work to achieve JH, understanding it as job satisfaction and more commitment to work, in addition to considering the differences by gender.
