Telehomework is associated with moderate increases in actual hours, but not in contracted or preferred hours.
For contracted and preferred hours, the correlations with telehomework are statistically insignificant for the male sample.
For the female sample, the correlations between flexi-time and contracted or preferred hours even turn out to be negative.
Furthermore, the work-life fit of employees may not increase but rather decrease if preferred hours stay the same.
Telehomework is associated with moderate increases in actual hours, but not in contracted or preferred hours, which implies that telehomework is primarily associated with more overtime.
Contracted and preferred hours are on average 2 to 3 h longer for flex-timers and telehomeworkers than for their colleagues without those types of TLF.
We therefore not only analyse the impact of TLF on actual working hours but consider contracted and preferred hours as well.
The correlation coefficients on actual hours are always larger than those on contracted and preferred hours and the coefficients on flexi-time are larger than those on telehomework (with one exception, namely actual hours of female employees).
