Satisfaction With Work Schedule Flexibility scale

Description

This measure,(Satisfaction With Work Schedule Flexibility) developed by Rothausen (1994), uses a five-item scale to measure employee satisfaction with work schedule flexibility. It measures the extent to which an employee feels he or she has flexibility in scheduling work, in doing part-time or flextime work, and in balancing work and family responsibilities.

Reliability 

In Aryee, Luk, and Stone (1998), coefficient alpha was .79.

Validity

Satisfaction with schedule flexibility correlated positively with organiza­ tional commitment and supervisor work-family support. Satisfaction with flexibility correlated negatively with turnover intentions (Aryee et al., 1998).
