通勤运输服务公司开展了为期 6 个月的试点项目，以确定可变工作时间安排对文图拉县拼车和组织效率的影响。研究结果揭示了拼车与可变工作时间计划的实施之间存在显着关系。在 6 个月的时间里，拼车率从 8% 增加到 113%，而单独驾驶的成本从 82% 下降到 77%。卡方结果表明参与者的通勤时间显着减少。当考虑可变工作时间计划对个人和组织的影响时，研究结果揭示了参与与自我报告的生产力、工作满意度、对日程安排的满意度、士气和促进儿童保育的能力的提高之间存在积极关系。主管的回应表明，生产力和工作满意度方面发生了类似的积极变化。卡方分析显示，采用 4/40 日程安排的参与者在生产力、工作满意度和日程安排满意度方面增幅最大；弹性工作时间的参与者表示，儿童保育更加便利。这项研究的结果对使用可变工作时间安排具有积极影响，这可以成为增加乘车共享和提高组织效率的有效策略。
Commuter Transportation Services, Inc., conducted a 6-month pilot project to determine the impact of variable work hour schedules on ridesharing and organizational effectiveness in Ventura County. The results of the study revealed a significant relationship between ridesharing and the implementation of the variable work hour programs. At the 6-month juncture, ridesharing rates had increased from 8 to 113% and the cost of driving alone had decreased from 82% to 77%. Chi-square results indicated a significant decrease in commute time for participants. When considering the results of the variable work hour program on the individual and the organization, the results of the study reveal positive relationships between participation and self-reported increases in productivity, job satisfaction, satisfaction with schedule, morale, and ability to facilitate child care. Supervisor responses indicated similar, positive changes with respect to productivity and job satisfaction. Chi-square analysis revealed that participants on the 4/40 schedule had the largest increases in productivity, job satisfaction, and satisfaction with schedule; participants on the flex-time schedule reported more convenience facilitating child care. The results of this study have positive implications for the use of variable work hour schedules, which can be an effective strategy for increasing ridesharing and for improving organizational effectiveness.
