Impact of Labor Flexibility on Work-Life Balance and Motivation

In the post-pandemic scenario, workplace flexibility has become a fundamental tool for promoting employee well-being. This study evaluates the impact of remote work and flexible schedules on work-life balance, and in turn, their influence on employee motivation in consulting firms located in San Pedro Garza García, Mexico. Using a quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional design, surveys were administered to 102 employees. The study was conducted using structural equation modeling with PLS Smart 4.0, showing that both remote work (β=0.381) and flexible schedules (β=0.601) have a significant impact on work-life balance, which in turn affects motivation (β=0.737).
These findings provide important data on both work-life balance and motivation among employees in the administrative consulting sector and contribute to the literature by offering scientific evidence on these work modalities that support Human Capital management.
The study presents Human Capital leaders with correlational data emphasizing the importance of organizational policies that allow employees to adapt their work schedules and locations according to their personal and professional needs.
