The thesis aims to present to its reader all social law instruments currently available in the Czech legal system, serving to adjust the employment relationship individually, particularly working conditions. The intention here is to introduce the widest possible spectrum of flexible opportunities of work and to inspire employers and employees to negotiate working conditions most favourable for them. This step should change the labour market in a way that the knowledge of flexible instruments leads to the expected growth of potential employees, and consequently to greater economic prosperity of employers. The basis of the whole proposed adjustment lies in the idea of satisfied employees who are more efficient and capable of maintaining their position on the labour market for the longest possible period of their working life solely because of appropriate individual arrangements. Let us assume that an employee who gains more freedom due to flexible conditions, leading in turn to a reconciliation of his/her work and personal life, will be more satisfied, stable and less stressed at work then another employee who has to choose between these two essential parts of his/her life and give preference to one of them on a day-to-day basis. Cases like the latter end up in burnout, as well as in physical and...

In the Swedish labor market, it has become more common that employees, with an office-based workplace, themselves decide when, where and how their work takes place. This flexibility results in a situation where the borders between work and private life become blurred and the work can therefore be described as flexible. The purpose of the study was to examine and analyze flexible work-life from a coworker perspective, its' perceived possibilities and challenges and consequences for work life balance. A qualitative study with semi-structured interviews was conducted among coworkers in different trades in the Swedish labor market. The results showed a wide range of possibilities and challenges with flexible work conditions. Flexible work-life opportunities revealed to promote those with family responsibility, not least single parents. The flexible work-way also opened up the possibility to recover and enhanced wellbeing, but could also result in negative consequences such as perceived stress. The wellbeing and the experienced work-life balance has shown to be affected by work demands, the degree of control and the work experience. Therefore, has it been of great importance that the coworkers get enough support and help to find functional strategies to be able to draw a line between work and leisure. / På den svenska arbetsmarknaden är det allt mer vanligt att medarbetare med kontorsbaserade yrken själva får utforma när, var och hur arbetet ska utföras. Den flexibiliteten medför att gränserna mellan arbete och privatliv suddas ut och arbetet kan därmed beskrivas som gränslöst. Syftet med studien var att undersöka och analysera gränslöst arbete ur ett medarbetarperspektiv. Studien utgick från frågeställningar som berör medarbetares erfarenheter av gränslöst arbete, dess möjligheter och utmaningar samt hur det påverkar balansen mellan arbete och fritid. En kvalitativ ansats med semistrukturerade intervjuer som datainsamlingsmetod användes bland medarbetare inom olika branscher på den svenska arbetsmarknaden. Studiens resultat visade på en rad olika möjligheter och utmaningar med gränslösa arbetsförhållanden. Det flexibla arbetssättet visade sig bland annat underlätta för de med familjeansvar, inte minst för ensamstående föräldrar. Det gränslösa arbetssättet visade sig också främja möjligheten till återhämtning och ökat välmående, men riskerade även att resultera i negativa följder såsom upplevd stress. Välmåendet och den upplevda balansen mellan arbete och privatliv, även kallat work-life balance, påverkades av arbetskrav, graden av kontroll och arbetslivserfarenhet. Därför har det varit av stor vikt att medarbetarna har stöd och får vägledning att hitta fungerande strategier för att kunna dra en gräns mellan arbete och privatliv.
