A STUDY ON FLEXIBLE WORK ARRANGEMENTS AT KELANTAN STATE ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE

Abstract

The modern workplace increasingly values flexible working arrangements (FWA) as a vital component, particularly in response to global events like pandemics, increasing workloads and evolving organizational dynamics. Moreover, technological advancements and a re-orientation of traditional management frameworks toward adaptability further propel this paradigm shift. Additionally, numerous international bodies and agencies have lauded this transition. While the evolving work culture acknowledges the benefits of flexibility for certain employee groups, its impact on productivity remains varied. While governments worldwide recognize the importance of FWA, its full integration into public sectors remains a gradual process and is subject to governmental decisions. A complete and comprehensive implementation of FWA has yet to be realized. This paper investigates the relationship between FWA and various factors influencing its adoption within public sector organizations. By applying SPSS methods in this study, findings have revealed a positive correlation between FWA and organizational dynamics, highlighting the need for public sector entities to prioritize offering diverse FWA options to their employees. This emphasizes the importance of accommodating changing work patterns and promoting employee well-being in today's dynamic work environments.
