Research and theory support the notion that flexible work arrangements (i.e., job resources in the form of formal policies that allow employees the latitude to manage when, where, and how they work) can have a positive influence on various outcomes that are valued both by organizations and their constituents. In the present study, we integrate propositions from various theoretical perspectives to investigate how flexible work arrangements influence work engagement. Then, in 2 studies we test this association and model the influence of different conceptualizations of health and age as joint moderators of this relationship. Study 1 focuses on functional health and chronological age in an age-diverse sample, whereas study 2 focuses on health symptom severity and subjective age in a sample of older workers. In both studies, we demonstrate that the influence of flexible work arrangements on work engagement is contingent upon age and health. (PsycINFO Database Record
研究和理论支持这样一种观点，即灵活的工作安排（即正式政策形式的工作资源，允许员工在时间、地点和方式上灵活管理工作）可以对组织及其成员都重视的各种结果产生积极影响。在本研究中，我们整合了来自不同理论视角的观点，以研究灵活的工作安排如何影响工作投入。然后，我们在两项研究中检验了这种关联，并对不同健康和年龄概念作为这种关系的联合调节因素进行了模型构建。研究 1 关注功能健康和年龄多样性样本中的实际年龄，而研究 2 则关注老年工作者样本中的健康症状严重程度和主观年龄。在这两项研究中，我们都证明了灵活的工作安排对工作投入的影响取决于年龄和健康状况。
