This paper determines the impacts of employee-determined flexibility (self-rostering) within police patrol shiftwork systems. The study is based on a cross sectional online survey with police patrol officers from one state of the Federal Republic of Germany (n = 927). The results show that pure employee-determined flexibility on the one hand leads to a good compatibility of shiftwork with social life (individual consequences). On the other hand, it is associated with a loss of work-related social structures and drawbacks concerning work-climate, leadership, as well as reciprocal trust and support (organizational consequences). In contrast, these findings are almost reverted under the traditional Four Shift Groups System which does not provide any self-determined elements. However, a Five Shift Groups System with an employer determined basic roster and some employee determined flexibility provides comparable positive results as the full flexible system considering work–life-balance, but does not share its significant negative effects on social community at work as well as disadvantages regarding leadership
