Abstract


In this study, a quantitative research was carried out with the objective of knowing the profile of preferred labor practices in a sample of employees of private companies in Mexico. The study sample was selected for convenience and was composed of 142 people, of which 71.1% indicate that in their workplace they have work flexibility activities.


In addition, we identified how employees' attitudes about flexible work activities relate to the perceived effects of flexible work practices, and work effectiveness.


As part of the study, a measurement instrument was designed in online format, with a total of 56 items, the instrument was statistically validated for its application in the Mexican context.


Among the main findings of the research, it was found that there is an inverse relationship between the perception of barriers to flexibility practices at work and labor effectiveness r (142) = - 0.292, p < 0.01. In addition to a positive relationship between the attitude of employees -ideas, attitude and behavior- towards flexibility practices, and work effectiveness. As for the attitude of the workers -ideas, attitude and behavior- and the barriers, an inverse relationship was found.
