Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic created urgent circumstances that pushed public administration workplaces to build rapid, flexible work arrangements, including remote work solutions. This revealed potential workforce advantages and organizational weaknesses. The analysis in this review explores how flexible work arrangements shape public administrators working in Canadian public organizations. The research reviews modern academic works about work-family conflict, employee engagement, productivity results, and public service cultural transformations. The implementation of flexible work arrangements improves work satisfaction and life-work balance and creates potential adversities that cause worker alienation and unequal workplace conditions. The review proves that purposeful policy work generates optimal flexible work benefits with minimal adverse impacts.
