Flexible working methods have become more popular because they increase the quality of life of employees. The number of Turkish companies that support flexible working models and help employees better coordinate their work and personal life is increasing, because the personal lives of their employees are considered more important by employers. Sectoral changes also play an important role in the creation of flexible working methods. For example, the service sector's need to support long-term projects in shipping, banking, telecommunications, press, and oil led to new work processes to focus on customer satisfaction while introducing more flexible working methods. This study presents the effects of flexible working methods on employee performance. Flexible working models were found to be very valuable for the improvement and sustainability of employee performance. According to the results, many of the factors of flexible methods, including the suitability of work for flexibility, job loyalty, and attitude toward flexible working hours, directly affect employee performance.
