Transitioning into retirement: The Interplay of Self and Life Structure
This paper explores the psychological, social, and behavioral ways in which professionals end their corporate careers and reorient themselves and their lives in the transition from employment to retirement. Framed within life course theory, specifically the adult development literature, this study leverages Levinson’s construct of life structure in relation to the self as a lens for understanding the developmental work undertaken in different pha…

Breaking the Mold: Redesigning Work for Productive and Satisfying Lives
In Breaking the Mold , Lotte Bailyn argues that society's separation of work and family is no longer a tenable model for employees or the organizations that employ them. Unless American business is willing to radically rethink some of its basic assumptions about work, career paths, and time, both employee and employer will suffer in today's intensely competitive business environment. Bailyn's message was bold when this book was originally publish…
Redesigning work for gender equity and work-personal life integration
This paper describes a series of intervention projects in the conditions and design of work geared to increasing gender equity in organizations and the ability of employees to integrate their working lives with their personal lives. It shows that approaching work with a work–family lens tends to lead to changes in the temporal conditions of work, in what has come to be known as flexibility in the workplace. With a gender lens, more nuanced aspect…
Hierarchy of Strangeness: Negating Womanhood
Time in careers - careers in time
This article deals first with the temporal patterns of everyday career activities - time in careers - and then with the life-long career line - careers in time. In the former, it introduces the concept of grandmother time and uses telecommuting as an example. In the latter, it builds on the concept of a life-stage responsive career and uses the academic career as an example. The article argues that the accepted notions of time in both daily activ…
Redesigning work for work-family integration
This paper argues for an understanding of work–family integration that brings employees' family and other personal concerns explicitly into the work design process. It builds on work design efforts that have previously brought unexpected factors together as well as on the newer research that shows how closely these domains are linked. By an extended case study on legal services it shows both the possibilities and the difficulties of effecting suc…

This article describes the experience at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology after the publication of its report A Study on the Status of Women Faculty in Science at MIT . It starts by describing aspects of the academic career that make it difficult for women, or anyone with responsibilities outside of their academic work. It then outlines three definitions of gender equity based on equality, fairness, and integration, and probes the reason…

A cross‐cultural comparison of American, Israeli and Greek women pursuing technical and scientific careers
Experiencing Technical Work: A Comparison of Male and Female Engineers
Analysis of questionnaire data from 51 matched male/female pairs of engineers shows that even though these pairs are in very similar positions and share similar orientations to the role of work in their lives, the women have a more ambivalent attitude toward technical expertise. The reasons seem not to lie in complications stemming from women's multiple roles, but relate, rather, to the singular, more "masculine" way that technical work is define…
