Abstract
The implementation of blended working arrangements within companies has increased in recent years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and despite the finalization of the pandemic these arrangements persist. This study investigates the relationship between blended working arrangements and organizational attractiveness as well as the moderating role of the personality trait conscientiousness on this relationship. 196 participants were administered a questionnaire regarding organizational attractiveness in relation to traditional and blended working arrangements, as well as conscientiousness in a one factor (blended working: present vs absent) within-subjects experimental design. Results were analyzed through a repeated-measures analysis of covariance (RM-ANCOVA). As hypothesized, blended working was found to be positively associated with organizational attractiveness, replicating the results of previous research on this relationship. Additionally, the moderation effect of conscientiousness was found to be significant on this relationship; however, contrary to our hypothesis it was found that low levels of conscientiousness were associated with higher organizational attractiveness for blended working arrangements. The present study’s findings have theoretical and practical implications in the field of personnel psychology; a key implication for recruitment contexts is that individuals lower in conscientiousness will find an organization more attractive when blended working is offered. Additionally, future research may consider expanding knowledge on the effects of different personality traits on blended working arrangements and organizational attractiveness.
