Evaluarea formelor de flexibilizare a muncii în organizațiile din Republica Moldova

Abstract

In this scientific endeavour, the forms of work flexibility as an element of flexicurity are addressed. Taking into account the work flexibility relevance, economically and socially, we highlighted several types and forms of it. Work flexibility allows employers to attract the workforce they need, even for a short period of time. On the other hand, the work flexibilization offers the possibility for the labour force to obtain the status of an employed person and, in this way, to reduce its level of vulnerability. By preparing this paper, we tried to appreciate the attitude of domestic employers towards work flexibility. For this purpose, we highlighted 10 forms of work flexibility most frequently applied in managerial practice, as well as more frequently found in specialized literature. In order to achieve the proposed objective, we conducted a sociological survey that included 350 domestic employers from all fields of activity of the national economy. Respondents had to rate each form of work flexibility on a scale from "1" to "5". After processing the data, we made certain findings on the perception of domestic employers towards work flexibility.
