The degree of projectification and its impact on work flexibility

subject

description

This study explores the relationship between projectification and its possible impact on work flexibility for Norwegian businesses. As firms are increasingly focused on project-based work, flexibility has become more popular among employers as well as employees. On one hand, projects contribute to flexibility in organizing expertise that solve complex problems. On the other hand, firms offer flexible work arrangements to ensure employee retention, loyalty and effectiveness. The exploratory study collects primary data from Norwegian organizations. We firstly establish the degree of projectification in Norwegian businesses for 2017, 2022, and 2027. Thereafter, we investigate and find that projectification has a statistically positive significant effect with work flexibility. Furthermore, results indicate that industry has a significant control effect on the relationship between the two variables. Our study contributes to research by strengthening the relevance of flexible work arrangements as a valuable subject among business professionals working in project-based contexts.
