Abstract
This study investigates the effect of flexible work arrangements on employee performance at
the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia. A quantitative research approach was employed, utilizing a
questionnaire to collect data from 338 employees. The study examined five types of flexible
work arrangements: telecommuting, condensed workweeks, flextime, part-time work, and shift
work. Data analysis included descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression. The findings
indicate that flextime, shift work, and condensed workweeks have a significant positive impact
on employee performance. Flextime was found to be the strongest positive predictor. Contrary
to expectations, telecommuting had a small but statistically significant negative effect on
employee performance. Part-time work did not show a significant relationship with employee
performance. The results suggest that the bank can enhance employee performance by
strategically implementing flextime, shift work, and condensed workweeks. However, the
negative effect of telecommuting warrants a review of its current policies and practices within
the bank.
