Abstract

Bu makale, esneklik ve iş-yaşam dengesinin çalışan refahı üzerindeki etkisinin gözden geçirilmesini eleştirel bir şekilde tartışmayı amaçlamaktadır. Her iki yön de analiz edilmiş ve mevcut teorik alanın kapsamlı analizi yapılmıştır. Yani sağlıklı iş-yaşam dengesinin göstergeleri ve önemi tartışılmıştır. Ayrıca, kişisel ve organizasyona dayalı esneklik olgusu ve bunun refah veya personel üzerindeki etkisi de dikkate alınmıştır. Sağlıklı iş-yaşam dengesi ile çalışanların refahı arasındaki nedensellik ilişkisinin yanı sıra, refahın oluşturulmasında ve yaratılmasında esnekliğin rolü desteklenmiştir.
