Editorial reading guide · Respect
Does flexibility create family time or make overwork easier to accept?
This reading brings dual devotion, overwork and gendered experiences of remote work and flextime into the respect pathway. The qualitative interview study offers a specific workplace lens on how employment and family life meet.
Study context
84 information-technology workers discussing work and family devotion
Age / stage: Working adults including parents
Read with three questions
- How did the researchers define and assess dual devotion and workers' accounts of time?
- What does the study design allow us to conclude about contrasting interpretations of flexibility among women and men?
- What would need to be checked before adopting questioning constant-work expectations alongside remote-work options?
Keep the limits in view
Interview accounts support interpretation of experience, not population prevalence or causal effects; IT work may differ from other employment.
