Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary.
Bringing together leading international researchers, this Research Agenda adeptly navigates the evolving landscape of flexible working arrangements and identifies potential avenues for further research.
The book provides a timely analysis of the conceptualisation of flexible working arrangements and the different contexts and ways in which such arrangements are adopted. Contributors each reflect on an aspect of flexible working, evaluating the implications of inherent and often paradoxical challenges faced by flexible workers. An overview of the historical development of flexible working arrangements and the research to date is also presented. By identifying gaps in knowledge and assessing emerging trends in working arrangements, the Research Agenda proposes areas where future research should be prioritised.
A Research Agenda for Flexible Working Arrangements is a must-read for academics, researchers and students interested in business studies, human resources management, organisational behaviour, sociology of work, work psychology and information systems management. Business professionals will also greatly benefit from the book's theoretical and practical insights.
