Schedule flexibility in hourly jobs: unanticipated consequences and promising directions (2012, background): “In effect, claiming availability increases control over nonwork time but fails to provide workers with the same degree of control over their work time (Henly & Lambert, 2005).”
Passing the buck: Labor flexibility practices that transfer risk onto hourly workers (2008, background): “Findings related to job quality are reported elsewhere (Henly & Lambert, 2005; Lambert & Waxman, 2005).”
