Abstract

This research explores how flexible work arrangements (FWAs) affect work-life balance (WLB) among IT employees in Ireland, contributing to a notable gap in knowledge on this subject. A cross-sectional, quantitative survey of 81 employees examined whether there were differences regarding perceptions of FWAs, WLB, gender and parental status. The results demonstrated a positive association between supportive FWAs and WLB, and that remote workers reported significantly higher WLB levels compared to hybrid workers. Gender and parental status were not found to moderate perceptions. The findings provide important information on how organisational culture, trust, and choice can enhance the benefits provided by FWAs while reducing risks such as work-home blur.
