Abstract

The rapid adoption of flexible work arrangements (FWA) in Indonesia, driven by digital transformation and shifting workforce expectations, raises critical questions about their impact on employee creativity—a relationship that remains underexplored in the local context. While global studies suggest FWA can foster innovation through greater autonomy and work-life balance, conflicting evidence and unique cultural values in Indonesia warrant further investigation. This study addresses a significant research gap by examining whether job satisfaction mediates the effect of FWA on employee creativity among Indonesian workers. Employing a cross-sectional survey of 233 permanent employees with validated measurement scales, we conducted mediation analysis using Jamovi. The results demonstrate that FWA positively influences both job satisfaction and creativity, with job satisfaction partially mediating this relationship. Notably, FWA exerts both direct and indirect effects on creativity, emphasizing the dual role of structural flexibility and psychological fulfillment. These findings enrich Job Adjustment Theory and the Job Demands-Resources framework in a non-Western setting, offering fresh insights into the mechanisms behind workplace innovation. Practically, organizations should not only implement flexible policies but also actively support job satisfaction to maximize creative outcomes. Future research is encouraged to explore additional mediators, moderators, and qualitative perspectives to further illuminate this evolving landscape.
