GABINI, Sebastián. Flexible work: conceptualization and state of the art. Investig. adm. [online]. 2016, vol.45, n.118. ISSN 2448-7678.

The objective of the present study was to make an update of the theory and investigation over flexible work, in order to show his actual state the art. The method employed consisted in the research of scientific papers from index journals published in the pasts 10 years (from late-2005 to early-2016). The main results shows that flexible work is associated with relevant organizational and individual variables. This findings demonstrate that, in spite of the benefits of implementing flexible work options, there still are some barriers to do it. The limitations of this revision came from biases in the selection of the articles, the exclusive use of open access full text papers and the inclusion of mostly English studies. Finally, some suggestion for future investigations are made.
