Over the past couple of decades the interest in flexible work arrangements has increased. This study conducted a longitudinal analysis of the effects of telework on the reduction of employee voluntary turnover. The agency-level data extracted from Office of Personnel Management’s congressional reports and central personnel data files were analyzed. The results show that agencies with more teleworkers reported less voluntary turnover. Agencies that are more supportive of employees’ teleworking also reported lower voluntary turnover. Organizational characteristics including average pay and length of service, and the proportions of different occupational categories, full-time employment, and women also turned out to have significant effects on voluntary turnover of employees.

灵活的工作安排和员工保留：对联邦劳动力的纵向分析

在过去的几十年中，人们对灵活的工作安排越来越感兴趣。这项研究对远程办公对减少员工自愿离职的影响进行了纵向分析。分析了从人事管理办公室的国会报告和中央人事数据文件中提取的机构级数据。结果表明，远程办公人员较多的代理机构报告的自愿离职较少。那些更支持员工远程办公的机构也报告了较低的自愿离职率。事实证明，组织特征包括平均工资和服务年限，以及不同职业类别，全职工作和女性的比例也对雇员的自愿离职产生重大影响。
