abstract: 'Background
|
||||
|
||||
Flexible working conditions are increasingly popular in developed
|
||||
|
||||
countries but the effects on employee health and wellbeing are largely
|
||||
|
||||
unknown.
|
||||
|
||||
Objectives
|
||||
|
||||
To evaluate the effects ( benefits and harms) of flexible working
|
||||
|
||||
interventions on the physical, mental and general health and wellbeing
|
||||
|
||||
of employees and their families.
|
||||
|
||||
Search strategy
|
||||
|
||||
Our searches ( July 2009) covered 12 databases including the Cochrane
|
||||
|
||||
Public Health Group Specialised Register, CENTRAL; MEDLINE; EMBASE;
|
||||
|
||||
CINAHL; PsycINFO; Social Science Citation Index; ASSIA; IBSS;
|
||||
|
||||
Sociological Abstracts; and ABI/Inform. We also searched relevant
|
||||
|
||||
websites, handsearched key journals, searched bibliographies and
|
||||
|
||||
contacted study authors and key experts.
|
||||
|
||||
Selection criteria
|
||||
|
||||
Randomised controlled trials (RCT), interrupted time series and
|
||||
|
||||
controlled before and after studies (CBA), which examined the effects of
|
||||
|
||||
flexible working interventions on employee health and wellbeing. We
|
||||
|
||||
excluded studies assessing outcomes for less than six months and
|
||||
|
||||
extracted outcomes relating to physical, mental and general health/ill
|
||||
|
||||
health measured using a validated instrument. We also extracted
|
||||
|
||||
secondary outcomes ( including sickness absence, health service usage,
|
||||
|
||||
behavioural changes, accidents, work-life balance, quality of life,
|
||||
|
||||
health and wellbeing of children, family members and co-workers) if
|
||||
|
||||
reported alongside at least one primary outcome.
|
||||
|
||||
Data collection and analysis
|
||||
|
||||
Two experienced review authors conducted data extraction and quality
|
||||
|
||||
appraisal. We undertook a narrative synthesis as there was substantial
|
||||
|
||||
heterogeneity between studies.
|
||||
|
||||
Main results
|
||||
|
||||
Ten studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Six CBA studies reported
|
||||
|
||||
on interventions relating to temporal flexibility: self-scheduling of
|
||||
|
||||
shift work (n = 4), flexitime ( n = 1) and overtime ( n = 1). The
|
||||
|
||||
remaining four CBA studies evaluated a form of contractual flexibility:
|
||||
|
||||
partial/gradual retirement ( n = 2), involuntary part-time work ( n = 1)
|
||||
|
||||
and fixed-term contract ( n = 1). The studies retrieved had a number of
|
||||
|
||||
methodological limitations including short follow-up periods, risk of
|
||||
|
||||
selection bias and reliance on largely self-reported outcome data.
|
||||
|
||||
Four CBA studies on self-scheduling of shifts and one CBA study on
|
||||
|
||||
gradual/partial retirement reported statistically significant
|
||||
|
||||
improvements in either primary outcomes ( including systolic blood
|
||||
|
||||
pressure and heart rate; tiredness; mental health, sleep duration, sleep
|
||||
|
||||
quality and alertness; self-rated health status) or secondary health
|
||||
|
||||
outcomes (co-workers social support and sense of community) and no ill
|
||||
|
||||
health effects were reported. Flexitime was shown not to have
|
||||
|
||||
significant effects on self-reported physiological and psychological
|
||||
|
||||
health outcomes. Similarly, when comparing individuals working overtime
|
||||
|
||||
with those who did not the odds of ill health effects were not
|
||||
|
||||
significantly higher in the intervention group at follow up. The effects
|
||||
|
||||
of contractual flexibility on self-reported health ( with the exception
|
||||
|
||||
of gradual/partial retirement, which when controlled by employees
|
||||
|
||||
improved health outcomes) were either equivocal or negative. No studies
|
||||
|
||||
differentiated results by socio-economic status, although one study did
|
||||
|
||||
compare findings by gender but found no differential effect on
|
||||
|
||||
self-reported health outcomes.
|
||||
|
||||
Authors'' conclusions
|
||||
|
||||
The findings of this review tentatively suggest that flexible working
|
||||
|
||||
interventions that increase worker control and choice ( such as
|
||||
|
||||
self-scheduling or gradual/partial retirement) are likely to have a
|
||||
|
||||
positive effect on health outcomes. In contrast, interventions that were
|
||||
|
||||
motivated or dictated by organisational interests, such as fixed-term
|
||||
|
||||
contract and involuntary part-time employment, found equivocal or
|
||||
|
||||
negative health effects. Given the partial and methodologically limited
|
||||
|
||||
evidence base these findings should be interpreted with caution.
|
||||
|
||||
Moreover, there is a clear need for well-designed intervention studies
|
||||
|
||||
to delineate the impact of flexible working conditions on health,
|
||||
|
||||
wellbeing and health inequalities.'
