An investigation into the experiences of managers who work flexiblyAnderson, Deirdre 09 1900 (has links)
This thesis explores the experiences of managers who work flexibly. Flexible working
policies are prevalent in all organizations in the UK because of the legislation giving
specific groups of parents and carers the right to request flexible working. Many
organizations extend the policies to all employees, yet the take-up is not as high as
expected, particularly among staff at managerial levels. This thesis explores how
managers construe and experience flexible working arrangements while successfully
fulfilling their roles as managers of people.
The exploratory study consisted of interviews with eight managers with unique flexible
working patterns. Analysis of the interview transcripts identified concepts of
consistency and adaptability. Consistency refers to meeting fixed needs from the work
and non-work domains, and adaptability refers to the adjustment of schedules to meet
the changing demands from those domains. The concepts of consistency and
adaptability were further explored in the main study which is based on interviews with
24 women and 10 men who held managerial positions and had a flexible working
arrangement which reduced their face time in the workplace.
The research offers three main contributions to the literature. At a theoretical level, I
propose a model which demonstrates how individuals use consistency and adaptability
to meet the fixed and changing demands from the work and non-work domains. This
model extends understanding of the complexity of the segmentation/integration
continuum of boundary theory, explaining how and why managers use flexible working
arrangements as a means of managing boundaries and achieving desired goals in both
domains. Four distinct clusters emerged among the managerial participants in terms of
the type and direction of adaptability, indicating the range of strategies used by
managers to ensure the success of their flexible working arrangements. A detailed
description of managers’ flexible working experiences is provided, adding to what is
known about the role of manager through the exploration of the enactment of that role
when working flexibly.

Individual Differences in Adaptation to ChangesWang, Shu 06 September 2012 (has links)
Successful adaptation to changes is of great importance to today’s workforce and for organizations. Built on the I-ADAPT theory (Ployhart & Bliese, 2006), this dissertation research explored the relationships among ability and personality factors, adaptability, and adaptive performance. Using a relatively simple skill acquisition task, the noun-pair lookup task, this research examined whether those relationships would be affected by the skill acquisition stages at which a change is introduced. As such, unexpected changes were introduced at different performance stages of the noun-pair lookup task. In one condition, participants experienced an unexpected change to the varied mapping (VM) version of the noun-pair lookup task at early stages of consistent mapping (CM) task learning. In the other condition, the change from the CM task to the VM task was introduced at late stages of the CM task learning. Two hundred and twenty five participants completed the noun-pair lookup task in one of two conditions. They also completed measures of two Big Five factors (openness to experience at the construct level and conscientiousness at the facet level), the I-ADAPT-M measure of adaptability, and tests of working memory capacity and perceptual speed. It was found that the timing of introducing a change did matter. Controlling for pre-change performance, participants had greater performance decrements when the change was introduced at late stages of the CM task practice than when it was introduced at early stages of the CM task practice. Ability factors and personality traits were found to be predictive of strategy choice in the CM task. There was no evidence of the moderating effect of the performance stage at which a change was introduced on the relationship between ability factors and adaptive performance. The mediation effect of adaptability on the relationship between ability and personality factors and adaptive performance was not supported. Adaptability as measured by I-ADAPT-M was also correlated with personality traits but not with ability factors or performance on the noun-pair lookup task. In conclusion, this dissertation showed the importance of making a clear distinction between adaptability and adaptive performance, and taking into consideration skill acquisition stages in task-related adaptive performance.
