Flexible working methods have become more popular, because they increase employees' quality of life. The number of Turkish firms that support flexible working models and help employees coordinate their work and personal life better are increasing, because employers consider their employees' personal lives as more important. Changes in sectoral scope also played an important role in creating flexible working methods. For instance, the service sector's need to support long-term projects in shipping, banking, telecommunication, press, and oil led to new work processes to focus on customer satisfaction while introducing more flexible working methods. This study presents the effects of flexible working methods on employee performance. It found that flexible working models are very precious for the improvement of and the sustainability of employee performance. According to the results many of flexible methods factors including job's suitability for flexibility, job loyalty and attitude towards flexible working hours directly affect the employee performance.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to analyze the role of general and occupational stress in the relationship between workaholism (recognized in two ways: as addiction and as behavioral tendency) and the intensity of work-family and familywork conflict. Materials and Methods: The study included 178 working people. The survey was conducted at three stages -half a year before a holiday, right after the holiday and half a year after the holiday. The Excessive Work Involvement Scale (SZAP) by Golińska for the measurement of workaholism recognized as addiction; The Scale of Workaholism as Behavioral Tendencies (SWBT) by Mudrack and Naughton as adapted by Dudek et al for the measurement of workaholism as behavioral tendency; the Perceived Stress Scale by Cohen et al., as adapted by Juczyński for the measurement of general stress; the Scale of Occupational Stress by Stanton in the adaptation of Dudek and Hauk for measurement of occupational stress; the Scale of Work-Family Conflict WFC/FWC by Netemeyer et al. with the Polish adaptation of A.M. Zalewska. Workaholism was measured once -before a holiday, the explained and intervening variables (the level of conflicts and stress, respectively) were measured at three stages. To test the mediating role of general and occupational stress, hierarchical regression analysis as well as the method of bootstrapping were applied. Results and Conclusions: Our results indicate that general stress is an important mediator of the relationship between workaholism recognized as an addiction and work-family conflicts. Occupational stress turned out to be the only mediator in the relationship between workaholism (recognized as an addiction) and the work-family conflict, noted exclusively in the first stage of the study. Both general and occupational stress were not significant mediators in the relationship between workaholism recognized as a behavioral tendency and the conflicts described.
