我们首先比较和对比当前工作场所灵活性的概念，以便得出与其当代用法相一致的定义：“工人做出选择的能力，影响他们何时、何地以及多长时间从事与工作相关的任务”。接下来，我们将工作场所灵活性置于其理论背景中，以使研究人员更清楚地理解什么是工作场所灵活性、其运作机制是什么以及为什么它可能与其他概念相关。最后，我们提出了工作场所灵活性的前因和后果的概念框架，包括同行评审文献中几个基本关联的说明性示例。
We first compare and contrast current conceptualizations of workplace flexibility in order to arrive at a definition in harmony with its contemporary use: 'the ability of workers to make choices influencing when, where, and for how long they engage in work-related tasks'. Next, we situate workplace flexibility in its theoretical contexts to provide researchers with a clearer understanding of what workplace flexibility is, what its mechanisms of operation are, and why it may be related to other concepts. Finally, we present a conceptual framework of antecedents and consequences of workplace flexibility, including illustrative examples of several basic associations from the peerreviewed literature.
