Abstract

Academics need better workplace flexibility as their brains can never wholly switch off from work. Therefore, flexible working arrangements (FWA) are linked with enhanced productivity. This research proposes a self-monitoring tool using a mobile application. FlexiWork App is a self-monitoring application designed for an academic to self-measure the impact of workplace flexibility on productivity; and secondly, for the institution to monitor the academic's key performance indicator (KPI) achievement. Hence, this application will benefit both the academics and the university in monitoring the KPI of the staff.
