Beyond Common Ground: Dialogical Responsibility in Sustainable Human Resource Management
Sustainable human resource management (HRM) advocates a shift toward pluralism, emphasizing the legitimacy of multiple stakeholder interests, voices, and meanings. Intended dialogue is often promoted as a key practice to support this shift. However, how intended dialogue actually contributes to pluralism remains under-theorized. Moreover, dialogue is frequently idealized as a route to harmony or ‘common ground,’ which can obscure power dynamics, …
Understanding the role of perfectionism standards and discrepancy in longitudinal patterns of anxiety and depression: A latent class growth analysis approach
Student mental health is a growing concern worldwide and understanding the development of health complaints is crucial for developing interventions. This study employed latent class growth analysis to explore patterns of anxiety among university students over four years and examined how these anxiety trajectories influenced the emergence of depression during their final year. Moreover, we tested whether individual differences in perfectionism sta…

Effects of mindfulness-based stress reduction and an organizational health intervention on Dutch teachers’ mental health
This study aimed to test the effectiveness of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) combined with an organizational health intervention. A cluster randomized controlled trial was conducted in five Dutch secondary vocational schools. Teachers were assigned to Intervention Group 1 (IG1; MBSR) or 2 (IG2; MBSR and an organizational health intervention), or to the Waiting List Group. The primary outcome variable was mindfulness. Secondary outcomes…
How fathers’ values matter for work–family decisions and partner support: A capability approach
This qualitative study identified the values of 26 Dutch dual-earner fathers underlying their actual division of paid and unpaid work, and the role work decisions favoring their family, referred to as Family Relatedness of Work Decisions (FRWD), and received partner support played in realizing these values. We used the capability approach as theoretical framework to compare individuals on the kind of lives they value, and what constrains or enabl…

This pilot study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) training and to examine positive and negative symptom-focused mental health variables. The mental health variables were used to test the predictive validity of the training among healthcare professionals. Thirty healthcare professionals participated in this non-randomized pre-post intervention pilot study. The questionnaire on menta…
Work-related smartphone use, work–family conflict and family role performance: The role of segmentation preference
Is work-related smartphone use during off-job time associated with lower conflict owing to the blurring of the boundaries between work and family life? Or does it help employees juggling work and family demands? The present four-day quantitative diary study ( N = 71 employees, N = 265–280 data points) aims to shed light on the relationship between daily work-related smartphone use during off-job time, and daily work–family conflict and daily fami…
Supporting ‘superwomen’? Conflicting role prescriptions, gender-equality arrangements and career motivation among Dutch women physicians
Women physicians are confronted with incompatible gendered role prescriptions, whereby the role of the ‘ideal’ mother contrasts sharply with that of the ‘ideal’ physician. This study introduces four goal frames that reflect how women physicians internalize these conflicting role prescriptions and investigates the relationship between women’s goal frames and their career motivation. It also examines the relationship between gender-equality arrange…
Explaining career motivation among female doctors in the Netherlands: The Effects of Children, Views on Motherhood and Work-Home Cultures
The gender imbalance in senior medical positions is often attributed to an alleged lack of motivation on the part of female doctors, especially those with young children. Some researchers argue that an unsupportive work-home culture in the medical workplace also plays a role. This study investigates whether having children (and the age of the youngest child) affects female doctors' career motivation and whether this relationship is mediated by vi…
The extended business case for childcare and leave arrangements in Western and Eastern Europe
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose an “extended conceptualization of the business case” including both organizational characteristics and institutional conditions to analyse employer involvement in extra statutory childcare and leave arrangements. Special attention is given to Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries. Design/methodology/approach The (multi‐level) multinomial regression analyses included company‐level data on huma…
Institutional explanations for managers’ attitudes towards telehomeworking
Building on recent research that stresses the important role of managers in the adoption process of telehomeworking, or telecommuting, this study examines the influence of the institutional context on managers’ attitude formation. Drawing on large-scale survey data from 96 CEOs and 380 HR managers in Dutch organizations, we show that normative and mimetic pressures affect managers’ beliefs, which are reflected in their perceptions of the relative…
Diversity management beyond the business case
Purpose This paper aims to introduce the theme of the special issue – diversity management beyond the business case. It addresses two main questions: first, how increased diversification within workgroups or labour is dealt with via diversity management, and second what the effects are of this increased diversity for group performance. Design/methodology/approach The different contributions are embedded into two important discussions in the liter…
May I work from home? Views of the employment relationship reflected in line managers' telework attitudes in six financial‐sector organizations
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to contribute to two related contemporary debates on the changing views of the employment relation and on the adoption of telework as a new work practice by analyzing line managers' general telework‐attitude formation processes, and possible outcomes in concrete request situations, mirroring managers' views of the employment relationship. Design/methodology/approach This multi‐method study among 65 managers in…
Towards a new culture of work‐place inclusiveness: The Dutch case
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to give an overview of the work of the Dutch government's “Taskforce Part‐time Plus” set up to stimulate longer working hours for particularly Dutch women holding part‐time jobs of less than 24 h per week, to help counteract a predicted structural shortage of manpower. Design/methodology/approach In 2009, the Taskforce commissioned two studies. The first study comprised three surveys, respectively, among: wome…

Cross Cultural Differences in Managers’ Support for Home-Based Telework: A Theoretical Elaboration
Home-based telework is one of the arrangements organizations can introduce to facilitate a better balance between employees’ professional and private lives. This article focuses on the question of under what conditions managers grant a subordinate’s request to telework and what role national cultures play herein. By looking into managers’ willingness to delegate power and to trust home-based teleworkers we try to explain the slow adoption of home…
Time Allocation in Times of Structural Transformation: A Synchronic View on (Gender) differences in the Netherlands
This study focuses on time allocation in 1995 by married or cohabiting, employed or homemaking Dutch women and men aged between 25 and 44. It asks (1) What role does gender play in time-allocation decisions? (2) What effects do situational factors have on time allocation, and do these effects differ between the sexes? Time-allocation models were developed for women and men separately, such that paid work affected unpaid work and free time, and fr…
T ime C runch and the P erception of C ontrol over T ime from a G endered P erspective: T he D utch C ase
The belief that “role overload” contributed to an objective decline in leisure time and a loss of control over time has been questioned in the ongoing debate on “time crunch”. This article examines the relationships between different factors affecting “time crunch” in the context of gender differences. The analyses reported in this article are based on data collected as part of the 1995 Dutch time-use survey, and focus on married and cohabiting m…
The 'harried leisure class' revisited: Dutch and Canadian trends in the use of time from the 1970s to the 1990s
Data from five national time use surveys in the Netherlands (1975 to 1995), and three time use surveys in Canada (1981 to 1992) are examined in an attempt to answer two questions: (1) Have people living in industrial societies gained or lost free time during the last two decades? (2) To what extent are the combined pressures of work and domestic obligations, alluded to in the literature as 'time pressure' or 'time squeeze' (Linder, 1970; Rifkin, …
Price Inertia in a Macroeconomic Model of Monopolistic Competition
This paper discusses the consequences of price setting by firms under monopolistic competitio n in dynamic models. It is assumed that costs of price adjustment are speed dependent. The Keynesian regime prevails when firms choose a p oint on the demand curve. If real labor costs are relatively high, cu stomers may be rationed. After analyzing firm behavior in a partial e quilibrium setting, demand is made endogenous in a full-scope macroec onomic …
