The Psychological Empowerment of Flexible Work Arrangements for Women

The psychological empowerment that comes from flexible work arrangements cannot be understated in the context of women's mental health. Having control over one's work schedule and environment fosters a sense of autonomy, competence, and relatedness, which are key components of intrinsic motivation and psychological well-being. This empowerment can lead to a more positive self-concept, lower levels of stress, and an enhanced capacity to manage mental health challenges.
