"Research into the relation between flexible work and health and well-being has been inconclusive so far. In this paper, empirical evidence is provided for the employment relationship as a new source of stress in flexible work. Employment-related demands and resources explain additional variance in levels of health and well-being beyond classic task-related aspects of stress. Furthermore, we show that control as a conventional task-related resource buffers the health impact of employment-related demands, highlighting the importance of considering both taskrelated and employment-related aspects of stress in flexible work arrangements.
