Abstract
Flexibility in the work context will likely become more prevalent in the future, since many employees experienced it during the corona pandemic. In blended working arrangements employees can decide where and when they work. Past research already found several favorable outcomes to be associated with blended working as for example increased organizational attractiveness. Consequently, it is important to find out for whom blended working is most beneficial and for whom it is not. In the current study we hypothesize that blended working has a positive effect on perceived organizational attractiveness. Additionally, we examined whether ambiguity tolerance is a possible moderator on this relationship, with low levels diminishing the positive effect of blended working on perceived organizational attractiveness. The present study used a one factorial within-subject repeated measures design. By using vignettes, we manipulated the factor variable blended working so that we presented a blended working arrangement and a traditional working arrangement. Our final sample consisted of 126 participants. The results showed a significant positive effect of blended working on perceived organizational attractiveness. However, ambiguity tolerance did not moderate this relationship. Taken together, the present study was able to demonstrate the positive effect of blended working on perceived organizational attractiveness. This is an important implication for employers, who could implement blended working to enhance their organizational attractiveness. Keywords: blended working, organizational attractiveness, ambiguity tolerance
