The impact of flexible working time on employees' work-life balance: a case study of a kitchenware manufacturing company

Abstract

The objective of this study is to examine the effect of flexible working time on the employees’ work-life balance in case of a kitchenware manufacturing company in Bangkok by using data from 104 employees in a kitchenware manufacturing company in Bangkok during June 2020. The result shows that the perception on flexible working time has a positive and significant impact on the work -life balance of the employees. When classifying employees into two sub-groups by age, the perception on the flexibility of working time only has positive effect on work life balance of employees with age more than 30 years old. Thus, the company should remain providing the flexible working time to increase the employees’ work-life balance.
