“…In recent years, the term "quality of life" has gained traction as a notion to describe environmental and humanistic elements that industrial productivity and economic progress have neglected (Ariffin et al, 2016;Rashmi & Kataria, 2021;Shabir & Gani, 2020). Therefore, employment flexibility is argued to be one of the variables that can contribute to a positive work environment and atmosphere within an organisation (Ariffin et al, 2016), since it helps both the employees and the company.

“…There is widespread agreement that organisationsprivate and publicwhich have, in recent years sought to implement flexible working arrangements (FWA) to achieve improved staff productivity, space efficiency, lower overheads, business continuity, thus attracting the best talent, have the ability to re-organise the workplace at zero cost and disruption.

FWA have been made possible because of huge improvements in communications and information technology and work can now be moved easily to employees instead of employees travelling to their workplace to work during regular office hours (Brewster et al, 1994;Dugal and Matthew, 2002;Fulton, 1997;Teo et al, 1998;Walsh, 2017).…”

“…Employers seek improved productivity, reduction of overheads, fostering of innovation, adaptation to volatile market conditions, limited and shrinking funding options for publicly funded institutions, the need to attract (and retain) top talent and effective use of time and resources (Routley, 2020). Public policy demands increased diversity, equality, reduction in welfare payments and fuelling the economy (Ariffin et al, 2016;Chokshi, 2017aChokshi, , 2017bKinman and McDowall, 2009;Maxwell et al, 2007).…”
