Calling it quits: A longitudinal study of factors associated with dropout among doctoral students
This article investigates whether experiences of the PhD trajectory during the first year of enrolment predict dropout during a later stage.More specifically, we studied how supervisor support, time pressure and passion for research relate to dropout among PhD students and assessed the role of discipline in this process.We used longitudinal data from four waves of the PhD Survey (2018 through 2021; N = 589), conducted at a university in Belgium, …
Cross-national variation in teachers’ status as professionals: A sociological and teacher-centered approach
Whether teaching qualifies as a profession has been a longstanding debate. Inspired by the work of Ingersoll and Collins (2018), this paper studies cross-national variation in seven characteristics of the teaching profession. We examine their mutual interrelationships and relate these characteristics to job satisfaction and PISA results. Data from the Teaching and Learning International Survey 2018 (TALIS; 49 regions/countries) show that in gener…

Experienced student or rookie employee? A quantitative study on PhD candidates’ role perceptions and its influence on their expectations and self-efficacy
Demonstrating construct validity and reliability of an eight-item experienced time pressure scale in nine large studies
Modern Western societies are believed to be characterized by a chronic lack of time. Yet, paradoxically, people in these societies have never worked less and have more leisure time than ever before. The lack of time is therefore mainly a subjective experience. Despite all attempts to measure this objectively an experienced time pressure scale seems more appropriate. Although such scales exist, they have hardly been assessed for their construct va…
Caught between academic calling and academic pressure? Working time characteristics, time pressure and time sovereignty predict PhD students’ research engagement
PhD students come to work in academic environments that are characterized by long working hours and work done on non-standard hours due to increasing job demands and metric evaluation systems. Yet their long working hours and work at non-standard hours are often seen as a logical consequence of their intellectual quest and academic calling and may even serve as a proxy for their research engagement. Against that background, quantitative data from…
When the Student Becomes the Teacher: Determinants of Self-Estimated Successful PhD Completion Among Graduate Teaching Assistants
This study investigates how graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) differ from regular graduates in terms of input characteristics (i.e., who they are), process characteristics (i.e., how they experience the PhD trajectory), and the self-estimated likelihood of successfully completing the PhD. Additionally, it assesses to what extent and how the input and process characteristics explain the self-estimated success rate between the two groups. The dat…
Locking Down Gender Roles? A Time-Use Perspective on Gender Division of Household Labour during the Covid-19 Pandemic Lockdown in Belgium
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the division of household labour could continue to lock down or start to break gender roles. Using time-use data of n = 473 individuals collected during the lockdown restrictions in Belgium from March to May 2020, we analyse the gendered division of routine and non-routine household labour in absolute time use and relative shares. We compare against the Belgian time-use data of 2013 for the same time period …
Data Quality and Recall Bias in Time-Diary Research: The Effects of Prolonged Recall Periods in Self-Administered Online Time-Use Surveys
Previous research has shown that a prolonged recall period is associated with lower data quality in time-diary research. In these studies, the recall period is roughly estimated on the basis of the period between the assigned diary day and the agreed collection day. Because this is so rudimentary, little is known about the duration of the mean recall period and its consequences for data quality. Recent advances in online methodology now allow a b…
Bias in estimated working hours in time diary research: The effect of cyclical work time patterns on postponing designated registration days
Due to the diversification and fragmentation of working time arrangements, the organisation of working weeks now differ substantially from each other. To account for week-to-week variability in working time estimates in time diary research, it is important that respondents keep their time diaries on designated registration days. At the same time, this week-to-week variability might lead respondents to postpone their participation to convenient re…

Young people’s daily activity in a globalized world: A cross-national comparison using time use data
How much do young people’s daily activities differ according to where they live? As a global generation, young people are disproportionally subject to the risks and insecurity of globalization. However, countries differ in their support for young people’s inclusion through economic and social participation. Using time use surveys from Australia, Italy, Finland, France, Korea, Spain, the UK and the USA (n = 23,271), this paper investigates nationa…
Gender, mobility and parental shares of daily travel with and for children: A cross-national time use comparison
A multitude of natural, social and individual time
Elias' essay on time is often interpreted both as a critique on the juxtaposition of natural time and social time as well as a plea for a triadic conception of time in which natural time and social time both provide the 'materials' for individual choices of time. Such an interpretation implies that there exists a multitude of natural, social and individual times. First, this contribution searches literature on the sociology of time for practical …

Exploring the stable practices of everyday life: A multi-day time-diary approach
Everyday life is neither the result of mundane, common-sense, habitual human behaviour as theorized by the agency-centred approach of methodological individualism nor the sheer result of the conformation to temporal norms of the structural approach of social holism. In fact, everyday life is marked by a rhythmic, temporal structure that is brought into effect by the modality of repetitive action. In this article, a praxeological approach is used …
Who works when? Towards a typology of weekly work patterns in Belgium
The question when people work is almost always reduced to the question how much people work on (non-)standard working hours. In this contribution, we applied optimal matching techniques using Belgian data from a weekly work grid ( n = 6330) to identify individuals' work timing patterns, offering a richer analytical approach than most previous studies on (non-)standard work time. Results show that such analysis captures much more and much more rel…
Convenience on the menu? A typological conceptualization of family food expenditures and food-related time patterns
The impact of work and family responsibilities on healthy sleep habits
Healthy sleep habits include sufficient sleep, regular bedtimes and established sleep routines. The responsibilities of paid and unpaid work that arise during the daytime are assumed to haunt us at night as well, eventually affecting these sleep habits. A long-term comparison of sleep duration from 1966 and 1999 time-diary data shows that sleep duration has not declined to the large extent that is generally assumed. Moreover, analyses of timing o…
If Only the French Republicans Had Known This: The Week as a Social Fact
During the French Revolution and inspired by the Enlightenment, an attempt was made to replace the Gregorian calendar (which was based on ‘irrational’ overlapping cycles linked to religious celebrations) by the Republican calendar (which was based on ‘rational’ clearly nested cycles in accordance with the metric system). Although the starting point was an ideological and aesthetic expression of rationalism, this calendar also had to fulfill a coo…
