Psychologists have found that the implementation of policies allowing work schedules to be tailored to individuals' needs does not typically increase managers' job satisfaction or their efficiency -- although this may be because most managers already have the autonomy to adjust their own schedules  But these flexible-schedule policies do increase job satisfaction, productivity, and attendance among nonmanagerial employees
The benefits dissipate somewhat over time, however, and they are reduced even further if schedules are too elastic
Implementing flexible schedules would be an effective means of increasing the job satisfaction and efficiency of managers who do not already have scheduling autonomy.
