Abstract

The labour market has redefined in recent years and has changed the way employers report to employees. Work flexibility is important in the context in which those who work at the desired hours tend to be more motivated and spend a longer period of time without changing their job. The paper aims to analyse the link between the main forms of work flexibility, job satisfaction and job performance using a sample of 220 employees, emphasising the role of work flexibility in the motivation system of employees and evaluating the impact of workspace on job satisfaction and performance. The empirical results revealed that schedule flexibility (a flexible program, teleworking or reducing overtime) tend to significantly influence job satisfaction and performance and from the four new types of working (FO, CW, HOT, HOP) the results revealed that all four ways of working highly impacted the well-being, personal and professional performance and the overall level of motivation.
