Abstract
Blended working, described as being able to work at any desired time and/or place, has become more feasible in modern times due to high developments in means of technology and communication. Although blended working arrangements generally provide positive outcomes like e.g., higher job satisfaction, better work-life balance, it is not said to be favorable for everyone. First it was tested whether blended working caused higher organizational attractiveness. Secondly, using Person-Environment Fit Theory, whether a high score on extraversion would weaken the effect of blended working on organizational attractiveness. In this study there was a within-subject one-factor repeated measures design, using two vignettes for manipulation of blended working amongst students (N = 126). Additionally, participants rated themselves on a 12-item extraversion scale. A significant effect of blended working on organizational attractiveness was found, while no significant effect was found when checking for the moderation of extraversion on the relation between blended working and organizational attractiveness. The findings build on the existing evidence regarding positive outcomes of blended working, and several implications are made for future research and the importance of taking into account the personality trait extraversion.
