abstract = "Both adoption of a wide spread information and communication technologies (ICT) and an increase in flexibility of work arrangement, people schedule their work activities in more flexible ways. New forms of working have already emerged. Little empirical evidence about the flexible work schedule available, however. The aim of this study is to examine the factors impacting the propensity to have a flexible work schedule, and how and to what extent the timing of work is influenced by ICTs, work and socio-demographic characteristics. To investigate the propensity of having flexible working hours, a binary logit model was estimated. Stochastic frontier models is applied to estimate the earliest possible start and the latest possible end time of work activities, based on the observed start and end time of work activities at home and the work place. The results show that work-related characteristics and ICTs usage seem to be more important factors for work schedule flexibility than sociodemographic characteristics.",
