The report will be based on the analysis of the two major aspects or concepts that are
related to the operations of modern organizations, namely, flexible working and
psychological contracts. A detailed literature review will be provided with respect to the

Task 1
Critical examination and explanation of perceptions based on flexible working and
psychological contract
As discussed by Bird (2015), flexible working is defined as the working based
arrangements that allow the employees to implement changes in the timing, amount and
location of their work process. The work process of the employees is based on the individuals
and the organizations as well. Levels of flexibility within the work process is considered to be
helpful for the ways by which organizational objectives can be achieved effectively.
According to Bohle (2016), other major advantages that are provided by flexible work
based environment mainly include, improvement of engagement, loyalty and job satisfaction.
The reduction of levels of absenteeism is affected in a positive manner by development of
flexible environment within the modern organizations. Flexible environment within an
organization is also helpful in increasing the productivity levels of the employees which is
further able to affect the organizational effectiveness as well (Brady and Briody 2016).
