Abstract:
Flexible work arrangements such as allowing employees to work at home are used in firms,
especially since information and communication technologies have become so widespread.
Using individual-level data from 10,884 German employees, this paper analyses the determinants
of working at home as a form of flexible work arrangements. The analysis
is based on descriptive analyses and a discrete choice model using a probit estimation
approach. The results reveal that men have a higher probability to work at home but
women are more likely to work at home intensively. Education, tenure and the use of
computers increase the probability of working at home while firm size and a young age
of employees reduce it. Having children less than six years old, overtime and work time
have a positive impact on both working at home and on working at home intensively.
