| Abstract: |
This research introduces coordination flexibility idiosyncratic deals (i-deals), which allow employees to negotiate their current work tasks and pursue alternative job roles and work activities. This research examines when and how coordination flexibility i-deals affect employee well-being and burnout. Drawing on social exchange theory and conservation of resources theory, we propose that coordination flexibility i-deals have a more positive effect on well-being and a more negative effect on burnout for employees who have lower job insecurity than those facing higher job insecurity. This is because coordination flexibility i-deals lead employees who have lower (relative to higher) job insecurity to less objectify themselves as if they are instrumental tools. The results of two experimental studies and two multi-wave surveys have provided support for these hypotheses. This research extends the existing literature on flexibility i-deals and adds to our understanding of the boundary conditions and mechanisms through which coordination flexibility i-deals affect well-being and burnout. |
