Abstract
Blended working arrangements (BWAs) offer workers to have flexibility in when and where they work. Not everyone is expected to thrive in such an environment as it includes working in virtual teams, it is not appealing to everyone. To deepen our understanding of the relationship between BWAs and organizational attractiveness and whether Openness to Experience moderates this relationship, we conducted an experimental vignette study among Psychology students. In this study we used a repeated measures design (N = 196) in which we distinguished and manipulated BWAs and traditional working arrangements with regard to organizational attractiveness. We then measured individual differences in the trait Openness to Experience. The findings revealed that BWAs enhance organizational attractiveness. Openness to Experience was not found to have a moderating effect in the association between BWAs and organizational attractiveness. This research presents evidence that BWAs add to organizational attractiveness. This could in turn aid organizations with a more successful recruitment process.
