Abstract
Importance and popularity of the concept of flexibility in the context of work is only matched by its lack of clarity. While it is clearly on the upward trajectory, both as an organizational practice and as a topic for discussions on academic and practitioner fora, it is yet riddled with paradoxes, used to denote different meanings and practices, and therefore confusion as regards flexibility at work is never far away. This entry intends to present the practical importance of flexibility at work, while also demonstrating the complex nature of discussions in which it is imbued and the divergent practices which it is used to designate. It also attempts to provide a critical reflection on the potential trajectory which could lead to alleviating the paradigmatic fractures between different flexibility clusters towards supporting a more seamless practical application and more coherent intellectual environment for exploring it.
