Abstract

Increasing demands on employees from their employers with regard to working time flexibility and other forms of flexibility are often justified as responses to increasing demands for flexible supply of goods and services from customers. According to this narrative, customers are demanding an ever-greater variety of goods and services, and demand fluctuates more and more strongly and quickly. The era of mass production and stable demand is over. To survive in an increasingly competitive market-place, producers must meet demands for increased flexibility. Therefore, employees have to be more flexible as well. In short, demands for increased flexibility on employees derive ultimately from customers’ demands for increased flexibility.
