Work scheduling includes establishing the possible route or path to be followed by a particular
piece of work. Wok schedules should help employees to balance work, free time and personal life.
Work schedules can cause tension and pressure on employees if not well implemented. Thus
whether intentional or not the administration of work schedules as a control device often seems to
be attended by pressure and threats rather than by satisfaction of employee desire, thus
communication is very important.
The study aims to investigate how work schedules can affect employee effectiveness and
organizational productivity. Work scheduling has been there for many years in many organizations
but has lacked good implementation policies due to lack of orientation of employees on the
existing schedules during training process.
