dc.description.abstract | This study explores the relationship between projectification and its possible impact on work
flexibility for Norwegian businesses. As firms are increasingly focused on project-based work,
flexibility has become more popular among employers as well as employees. On one hand,
projects contribute to flexibility in organizing expertise that solve complex problems. On the
other hand, firms offer flexible work arrangements to ensure employee retention, loyalty and
effectiveness. The exploratory study collects primary data from Norwegian organizations. We
firstly establish the degree of projectification in Norwegian businesses for 2017, 2022, and
2027. Thereafter, we investigate and find that projectification has a statistically positive
significant effect with work flexibility. Furthermore, results indicate that industry has a
significant control effect on the relationship between the two variables. Our study contributes
to research by strengthening the relevance of flexible work arrangements as a valuable subject
among business professionals working in project-based contexts. | |
