PrepTest 140 - Section 2 - Question 18

Show summary

Psychologists have found that the implementation of policies allowing work schedules to be tailored to individuals' needs does not typically increase managers' job satisfaction or their efficiency—although this may be because most managers already have the autonomy to adjust their own schedules. ███ █████ █████████████████ ████████ ██ ████████ ███ █████████████ █████████████ ███ ██████████ █████ █████████████ ██████████ ███ ████████ █████████ ████████ ████ █████ ████████ ███ ████ ███ ███████ ████ ███████ ██ █████████ ███ ███ ████████

Summary

Psychologists have discovered that allowing flexible work schedules does not cause managers’ job satisfaction or efficiency to increase. These flexible schedules do cause job satisfaction, productivity, and attendance to increase among nonmanagerial employees. However, these benefits decrease over time and are reduced even further if schedules are too flexible.

Strongly Supported Conclusions

The benefits of flexible work schedule policies are better observed among nonmanagerial employees than among managers.
