As organizations recognize the importance of work-life balance for their employees, flexible working hours are increasingly being offered. However, research on the impact of flexible working hours on work-life balance and organizational outcomes is inconclusive. This study aims to provide deeper insights into the experiences of employees regarding the influence of flexible working hours on their work-life balance. To achieve this, we conducted qualitative research through in-depth interviews with a diverse sample of 15 employees and analyzed the data thematically. Our findings suggest that employees with more family responsibilities tend to view flexible working hours as a necessity rather than a perk. The interviewees revealed that the flexible working system can benefit both employers and employees, but its success depends on how it is implemented by the organization. When management supports and implements flexible working hours effectively, employees appreciate it for both personal and work-related reasons. The meaning of flexible working hours varies based on the stage of life of the employee. These findings are essential for policymakers and human resources managers to effectively implement flexible working hours and promote work-life balance. By doing so, organizations can help employees achieve a proper balance between their work and personal lives, leading to positive outcomes for both the employees and the organization.
