Flexible work arrangement provides employees with some limited discretion as to the
starting and stopping for their work day, while requiring some core hours. Thus according
to many prominent researchers, it provides employees some control and independence
over their lives .This study would try to present the findings of research carried out
mainly among IoBM faculty for the purpose of investigating/establishing a relationship
between flexible work schedules and quality of life of employees under Pakistani working
and living conditions. Researchers believe that every culture has different sets of
variables to measure quality of life. Western countries may give importance to family
life where as in a different culture economic independence might become a very
important variable to measure quality of life. In this research, researchers will try to
highlight variables specific to Pakistani environments and their impact on employees.
Dependent variables may range from ease in commutation, better sleep quality to better
concentration. Researchers have selected 42 faculty members (21 each of male and
female) out of 65 employees from IoBM for the main survey as IoBM has already
implemented the system. Researchers have tried to use descriptive and correlation
analysis to establish trends between quality of life and gender, marital status etc.
Researchers believe that this study would at least create awareness among employers
about the benefits of flextime, and thus create avenues towards humanistic approach.
