Özet
The aim of this research is to reveal the impact of flexible working arrangements on the job performance of employees in public institutions and regarding to this impact to try to explain the mediating role of job characteristics modeling. In this cross-sectional study, a quantitative research method was used and it was carried out in 2021 with the participation of employees working in municipalities. Analyzes were performed on 312 solid data. The questionnaire technique was used as a data collection tool and Flexible Working Scale, Job Characteristics Scale and Job Performance Scale were used. In analyzing data; skewness and kurtosis, normality, reliability, exploratory factor analysis, descriptive statistical analysis and mediation analysis were applied. Mediation analysis were performed with PROCESS Macro, and other analysis with Jamovi 2.3.18. According to the findings of this research, it was seen that there is a positive impact between flexible working and job characteristics and a negative impact on job performance. As a result, the main hypothesis that job characteristics play a mediating role in the relationship between flexible working and job performance was supported. This result is original and instructive for administrators since it is the first time that such a study has been conducted in the public sector.
