Abstract
Blended working concerns the concept of employees determining themselves when and where they perform their work. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, during which employees were forced to work from home, blended working became a very current issue. We examined the effect of blended working on organizational attractiveness and the influence of chronotype on this effect. Our hypothesis was that blended working arrangements would have a positive effect on the attractiveness of an organization and that this effect would be even stronger for evening-types compared to morning-types. We conducted a questionnaire study among first year psychology students (N = 126). The study utilized a one factorial within-subjects design, using vignettes to manipulate working condition (i.e. blended working condition vs. traditional working condition). We showed that blended working conditions did increase the perceived attractiveness of an organization as compared to the traditional condition. We did not find a moderating effect of chronotype on the effect of blended working on organizational attractiveness. This study provides relevant information with regard to optimizing working arrangements to the needs of employees. More specific, the use of blended working arrangements can be recommended to organizations to make their working environment more attractive to applicants.
