How Can Enterprises Attract Flexible Employees? An fsQCA Analysis Based on the Theory of Planned Behavior

doi:10.15936/j.cnki.1008-3758.2024.04.008

Abstract

Abstract: Flexible employees inject new vitality into enterprises and meet the development needs of enterprises to reduce costs and increase efficiency. Based on the framework of the theory of planned behavior， this study analyzed the influencing factors of employment choice through semi-structured interviews with 28 flexible employees， and used fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) to construct configurations of 332 questionnaire results. It is found that the employment choice of flexible employees is influenced by salary and welfare， working conditions， role clarity， social group support， perceived usefulness and self-efficacy. A single antecedent condition is not a necessary condition for high employment choice behavior. The paths to achieving high employment choice behavior can be summarized into three categories: behavioral attitude type， attitude-subjective norm synergy type and self-perception type.

Key words: flexible employees; employment choice; theory of planned behavior; qualitative comparative analysis
