The purpose of this paper is to discuss the influence of Flexi-Time (the system of flexible working hours) on the social lives and general metal and physical health of workers. The conclusions, based on a survey of conditions of 1,087 workers in several different companies, may be summarized as follows: (1) Flexi-Time liberates the workers from the restrictions of working hours and rush hours. (2) Generally, Flexi-Time harmonizes the rhythm of the work with that of the private life of the workers, and therefore it improves the state of their health. And, in general, this harmonization of work time and private leisure time is one of the fundamental elements of a healthy social life. But, on the other hand, since the implementation of Flexi-Time, some workers have been following rather irregular schedules, and this has had an unfavorable effect on their health. The analysis indicates that, in order to ensure the Flexi-Time program works efficiently and that all the workers remain healthy, they should dicide their own social lives independent of company control, only then will harmony between the rhythm of work and the private life be attained.
