本文的目的是通过探讨不同形式的灵活工作实践与企业绩效之间的关系，来增加劳动力灵活性的辩论。虽然有一个强有力的论点，劳动力的灵活性可以导致更大的财务成功，通过降低劳动力成本和更有效地利用劳动力资源的能力，几乎没有经验证据已经提供了证明这种关系的存在。本文回顾了现有的文献，提出了一些研究命题，并使用来自Cranet-E战略人力资源管理国际调查的数据进行了检验。只有一种形式的数值灵活性被发现有一个积极的关系与企业绩效。最后提出了进一步研究的建议。
The aim of this paper is to add to the labor flexibility debate by exploring the relationship between different forms of flexible working practices and the performance of the firm. Although there is a strong argument that labor flexibility can lead to greater financial success through the reduction in labor costs and the ability to use labor resources more efficiently, little empirical evidence has been provided to demonstrate the existence of such a relationship. This paper reviews the existing literature, puts forward a number of research propositions, and tests them by using data drawn from the Cranet-E International Survey of Strategic Human Resource Management. Only one form of numerical flexibility is found to have a positive relationship with firm performance. Proposals for further research are suggested.
