Since the enactment of the Smartwork policy permitting flexible work arrangements (FWA), increasing numbers of Korean government agencies have allowed their staff to participate in FWA that help them achieve a good work/life balance. Yet, Korean public employees in general are reluctant to participate in FWA and many that initially participate wind up abandoning FWA. With a comprehensive theoretical framework, this article examines how managerial factors, task factors, and individual characteristics influence Korean public employee participation in and abandonment of FWA. With the 2016 Survey of Public Employee Perception on Smartwork, this article finds that all of these factors and characteristics affect Korean government employee participation in and/or abandonment of FWA. In particular, the findings present that supervisory support for balancing work/life issues increases FWA participation and decreases FWA abandonment. On the other hand, the findings illustrate that a hierarchical organizational culture is an obstacle to FWA participation and increases FWA abandonment.

管理、任务和个人因素如何影响灵活工作安排的参与和放弃？

自从允许灵活工作安排 (FWA) 的 Smartwork 政策颁布以来，越来越多的韩国政府机构允许其员工参与 FWA，以帮助他们实现良好的工作/生活平衡。然而，韩国公职人员一般不愿意参与 FWA，许多最初参与的人最终放弃了 FWA。本文以全面的理论框架探讨了管理因素、任务因素和个人特征如何影响韩国公职人员参与和放弃 FWA。通过 2016 年公共雇员对智能工作的认知调查，本文发现所有这些因素和特征都会影响韩国政府雇员参与和/或放弃 FWA。特别是，研究结果表明，对平衡工作/生活问题的监督支持增加了 FWA 参与度并减少了 FWA 放弃。另一方面，研究结果表明，层级化的组织文化是 FWA 参与的障碍，并增加了 FWA 的放弃。
