Abstract

The impact of employee productivity on job satisfaction within the context of law firms is a pivotal concern. In this regard, productivity assumes a paramount role as a performance metric in the legal sector. A salient challenge encountered by legal practitioners pertains to achieving a harmonious work-life balance, resonating with the demanding requisites of the profession. While a flawless equilibrium between professional commitments and personal pursuits might be elusive, there is an emergent acknowledgment among legal entities regarding the indispensability of work/life equilibrium for their workforce. This envisions a holistic alignment between occupational responsibilities and individual aspirations. Nevertheless, the practical implementation and subsequent effects of flexible work schedule initiatives in Kenyan legal practices, specifically within Nakuru County, remain an empirical gap. This study, therefore, delved into a comprehensive investigation of the repercussions of flexible work schedule on the productivity of legal professionals operating within law firms situated in Nakuru County, Kenya. The study's theoretical underpinnings were rooted in the Compensation Theory. Employing a descriptive survey research design, the study's scope encompassed the entire populace of 2000 law firms domiciled within Nakuru County. The research cohort consisted of select legal personnel comprising a partner and three tenured legal staff members. Employing systematic random sampling, a sample size of 95 respondents was derived. Data accumulation was channelled through structured questionnaires. Analytical methodologies encompass both descriptive statistics, exemplified through frequency distributions and percentages, and inferential tools, prominently the Pearson product-moment correlation and multiple linear regression analyses.

弹性工作制对纳库鲁县律师事务所员工生产力的影响

在律师事务所的背景下，员工生产力对工作满意度的影响是一个关键的问题。在这方面，生产力作为法律部门的绩效指标发挥着至关重要的作用。法律从业人员遇到的一个突出挑战是如何实现工作与生活的和谐平衡，并与该职业的苛刻要求产生共鸣。虽然职业承诺和个人追求之间的完美平衡可能难以捉摸，但法律实体逐渐认识到，工作/生活平衡对他们的员工来说是不可或缺的。这是对职业责任和个人抱负之间整体一致性的设想。然而，在肯尼亚法律实践中，特别是在纳库鲁县，灵活工作时间表倡议的实际执行和随后的影响仍然是经验上的差距。因此，这项研究深入研究了灵活的工作时间表对位于肯尼亚纳库鲁县的律师事务所内的法律专业人员的生产力的影响的全面调查。该研究的理论基础植根于薪酬理论。采用描述性调查研究设计，该研究的范围包括在纳库鲁县注册的2000家律师事务所的全部人口。研究队列由精选的法律人员组成，包括一名合伙人和三名终身法律工作人员。采用系统随机抽样的方法，得出95人的样本量。通过结构化问卷收集数据。分析方法包括描述性统计，以频率分布和百分比为例，以及推理工具，主要是皮尔逊积矩相关和多元线性回归分析。关键词:弹性工作制，工作与生活平衡，法律工作者引文:Mzae, m.w, Mukanzi, C，等奥凯洛，B.(2023)。弹性工作制对纳库鲁县律师事务所员工生产力的影响。商业战略杂志;管理学报，2010(3)，395 - 393。
