Overview

Analysis shows commuting distance reduces life satisfaction for employees, suggesting flexible work arrangements can help.

Key Points

  • Life satisfaction decreases significantly with longer commuting distances, particularly in non-flexible work settings.
  • Findings indicate that employees in non-flexible work arrangements experience a loss in life satisfaction about 2.5 times greater than those in flexible work.
  • Analysis of data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP) reveals critical insights into work-life balance.
  • Flexible work arrangements may mitigate the negative impact of commuting on subjective well-being.
