Do Workplace Flexibility Policies Influence Time Spent in Domestic Labor
Using data from a U.S. midwestern sample of mothers and fathers, the authors examine whether using workplace flexibility policies alters time spent in housework and child care. They hypothesize that an individual's policy use will lead to more time in domestic labor and that his or her spouse's policy use will lead to less time in domestic labor. Several results support their hypotheses. Mothers who work part-time spend more time in housework and…
Do Racial and Ethnic Stereotypes Depend on The Sex of Target Group Members? Evidence from a Survey-Based Experiment
Several social scientific perspectives suggest that racial and ethnic stereotypes vary by the sex of minority group members. However, prior research has not used survey data to test the hypothesis that the public holds strong gendered racial/ethnic stereotypes. We exploit a between-subjects experiment in the Multi-City Study of Urban Inequality to investigate the extent to which respondents' beliefs about seven attributes of four racial/ethnic ta…
Work-Family Arrangements and Parenting: Are 'Family-Friendly' Arrangements Related to Mothers' Involvement in Children's Lives
Previous research has examined the impact of work-family incompatibility and policies designed to address this incompatibility on both organizational and employee outcomes, including productivity and distress; yet no research has systematically related 'family-responsive' arrangements to parenting to assess how these arrangements may be 'friendly' to the family. In this article, data is used from a regional sample of employed mothers to investiga…
How Are Family-Responsive Workplace Arrangements Family Friendly? Employer Accommodations, Parenting, and Children's Socioemotional Well-Being
Family-responsive workplace arrangements, including schedule flexibility, reduced hours, and workplace social support, are often touted as important to employed parents' abilities to balance the simultaneous demands involved in work and childrearing. Empirical evidence regarding this supposition has most often focused on employed parents' perceptions of work-family incompatibility, leaving little understanding of (1) which arrangements are associ…
Growing Pains and Progress in the Study of Working Families
Proliferate research on work and family has led to an ongoing concern about how best to conceptualize the complexity of the work-family nexus. This article focuses on how the volumes under review reflect three main themes designed to expand the boundaries of work-family research:(a) families house a diversity of interests, (b) families are culturally and economically variable, and (c) carework is inherently public work. The article suggests that …
Sexual Harassment in the Workplace: Unanticipated Consequences of Modern Social Control in Organizations
The authors integrate research on the causes and consequences of sexual harassment victimization with organizational research to better understand the relationship between harassment and the work outcomes of job satisfaction, job stress, and intention to quit an organization. In doing so, the authors broaden the narrow conceptualization of organizational context that has been considered in previous research on sexual harassment. This broadened co…
Routine Activities and Sexual Harassment in the Workplace
This article draws from criminological research on victimization and on organizational models of the social context of sexual harassment to propose a routine activities explanation of sexual harassment victimization. The authors propose that certain features of organizations can be used to conceptualize guardianship as well as the proximity component of target suitability in the routine activities framework. The authors also discuss the features …
The Family Responsive Workplace
Women's entrance into the labor market in large numbers has exacerbated incompatibilities between employer and family interests. Research reveals that conflict between paid work and family responsibilities has been linked to decreased employee productivity as well as decreased family functioning. In this review, we explore the nature of job/family incompatibility, organizational interests in family responsive policies, and the current prevalence …
Job Changes Following Childbirth: Are Women Trading Compensation for Family-Responsive Work Conditions
As women increasingly maintain labor force participation following childbirth, job changing rather than labor force withdrawal is on the rise. This article presents a theoretical perspective that takes into account the increasing financial responsibilities of mothers and modifies human capital propositions concerning job changing. We investigate initial differences between women who change jobs following childbirth and those who stay with their p…
Workplace Support, Child Care, and Turnover Intentions among Employed Mothers of Infants
This article looks at the determinants of job turnover among mothers of infants, using intentions to change jobs or exit the labor force assessed at 1 year postpartum among a sample of 246 employed mothers. Hypotheses were that exit intentions should be more influenced by household factors determining labor supply and other personal characteristics indicating job attachment. Additionally, whereas both types of turnover intentions should decrease …
