Table 5.

Participants’ positive responses to the success situation of flexible working or a 4-day workweek in Turkey.

Code Participant Responses
P4 “Turkey needs to test out this system. It will be successful in a diligent and pragmatic society like Turkey if it is successful in working societies like Japan.”
P9 “Yeah, it directly affects time management; productivity rises as the person spends more time with his family and himself; it is simpler to gain efficiency from those who have a social life; they are more upbeat and produce high-quality work. Yet, salaries shouldn't go down.”
P18 “Certainly, I believe it will be more appropriate, particularly for the younger generation. The workforce and potential will grow as a result. Because of the company's increased efficiency, costs will be cut indirectly.”
P35 “Undoubtedly, due to the rapid pace of labor, occupational accidents are rising in Turkey. Hence, workplace accidents can be avoided. Positive effects are shown on both the employees' physical and mental well-being. However, there should be absolutely no reduction in salaries.”
