Abstract

Flexible working patterns have been the focus of considerable comment and much controversy for some years. The spread of what the European Union refers to as ‘atypical’ working patterns is now widely recognised and is a key issue for personnel specialists across Europe. It is a subject which has also been attracting the attention of senior line managers, trade unions, national governments and the European Commission, as well as academics. Much of this discussion has focused on the issue of managerial policies: whether the growth in flexible working mainly reflects structural changes and is a by-product of changes in the labour market or is the result of purposeful managerial choice, an aspect of strategic approaches towards HRM.
