Role of Job Flexibility in Job Satisfaction, OCB and Subjective Well-being among Travel and Tourism Employees

The employees in general need day-to-day flexibility to manage demanding jobs and home or family lives. Those with dual responsibility-job demand and family caring are especially likely to need such flexibility for two reasons. First, studies of employees benefit already exist and these are often undertaken by firms themselves. Second, flexibility can be more important on a day-to-day basis for many employees than other benefits, such as a child care centre. In view of the above, the purpose of the present study was conducted to examine the relationship between job flexibility and job satisfaction, organizational citizenship behavior and subjective well-being among workers of travel and tourism sectors. A set of questionnaire comprising Job flexibility scale (Hill et. al., 2001), Job satisfaction scale (Dubey, 2009) Organizational citizenship behavior (Bakshi & Kumar, 2009) and Positive and negative affectivity schedule (Watson, Clark, Tellegen, 1988) was used to measure the tapped aspects of employees behavior. The relationship between the predictor and criterion variables were examined using correlation method. The impact of job flexibility on job satisfaction, organizational citizenship behavior and subjective well-being are established in this study. Results are thoroughly discussed and interpreted.
