One Size Does Not Fit All: Understanding Parent Engagement in the Contexts of Work, Family, and Public Schooling
We examined how parents and educators in a low-income school conceptualize parental engagement, and how school, work, and family domains together shape these parties’ practices as well as understandings of how and why parents engage. From interviews with the principal, five teachers, and 17 mothers of children at a Title I elementary school, we observed mothers’ varied approaches to juggling employment and caregiving responsibilities with desires…
Fitting it all in: How Mothers' Employment Shapes Their School Engagement
Although incompatibilities between work and home life are well studied, less is known about the implications of employment for another key life role, particularly for working mothers: being a 'school-engaged parent'. Using data from in-depth interviews with 17 employed mothers in a mid-size Midwestern city, recruited from a diverse sample of 95 survey-taking parents, we examined the mechanics of how mothers' employment conditions shaped their inv…
Accounting for Job Quality in Women’s and Men’s Commute Time to Work: An Update to the “Household Responsibility” Thesis
Women often face trade-offs in fulfilling both employment and household responsibilities. One indicator of this is commute time, a compromise between the stresses of longer work journeys and potentially expanded job options. Women spend less time commuting than men and thus may have fewer work opportunities. While prior research finds a link between commute time and women's disproportionate household responsibilities, it does not examine in detai…
Employment Opportunity for Workers Without a College Degree Across the Public, Nonprofit, and For-Profit Sectors
The public and nonprofit sectors are known for providing enhanced employment opportunity to women, persons of color, and parents. The authors ask whether the same is true for workers without college degrees, examining sectoral differences in access to jobs offering fringe benefits, full-time hours, and schedule flexibility. The authors find that the influence of sector and union representation on job quality varies by type of benefit. For example…
The Structural Contexts of Low-Wage Work: Restaurant Employment Practices Across Firm Geography, Size, and Ownership Status
This qualitative organizational case study examined how restaurant employers respond to a minimum wage mandate through human resource practices they apply to waitstaff. The author considered three contextual factors as potential correlates of such practices: restaurants' geographic location, size, and ownership. Data come from interviews with owners and managers of 15 restaurants in Washington State, home of the nation's highest minimum wage. Fin…
Schedule flexibility in hourly jobs: Unanticipated Consequences and Promising Directions
This article considers the challenge of extending conventional models of flexibility to hourly jobs that are often structured quite differently than the salaried, professional positions for which flexibility options were originally designed. We argue that the assumptions of job rigidity and overwork motivating existing flexibility options may not be broadly applicable across jobs in the US labor market. We focus specifically on two types of flexi…
Place-Bound Jobs at the Intersection of Policy and Management: Comparing Employer Practices in U.S. and Canadian Chain Restaurants
Debate about the United States’ minimum wage spiked several years ago at a time when its role in influencing employment conditions had become complicated by firms’ increasing use of job outsourcing and “offshoring.” Yet the latter labor strategies are not obviously applicable to employment revolving around in-person transactions between workers and customers, or “place-bound” work. Such jobs present an opportunity for studying human resource mana…
Serving men and mothers: Workplace practices and workforce composition in two US restaurant chains and states
In this paper, we apply a ‘gendered lens’ to research that has sought to understand how private firm practices and public policies shape employment conditions. We report on a study of the realities facing a highly female-dominated job, that of waiter in low-end chain restaurants. Through interviews with managers at 16 sites of two international restaurant chains located in Seattle, Washington and Chicago, Illinois, we examined how the gender and …
Happy Doing Good? How Workers' Career Orientations and Job Satisfaction Relate in Grassroots Human Services
Job satisfaction has long been a focus of human services managers and researchers. Yet recent trends in what workers want from their jobs and careers may challenge the current understanding of this important phenomenon. There is limited understanding, in particular, of human services workers' potentially diverse orientations toward their work and how those preferences relate to job satisfaction. These factors are considered using unique data from…
Up Close and Personal: Employee Networks and Job Satisfaction in a Human Service Context
This article investigates the association between workers’ networks of relationships used for advice on job tasks and their job satisfaction. It thus extends the study of personal employment networks from previous efforts that focus primarily on businesses to an examination of a type of human service organization. It situates this examination within a population of nonprofit domestic violence program employees. Prior research suggests that having…
The organizational stratification of opportunities for work-life balance: Addressing issues of equality and social justice in the workplace
As organizational scholars, we offer an ‘organizational stratification’ approach useful for revealing inequalities in the distribution of work–life ‘opportunities’ within and across jobs and workplaces. In doing so, we discuss the implications of historically narrow conceptualizations of workplace opportunity — typically focused on promotion only — and suggest a more expansive approach to theorizing, and in turn operationalizing, workplace opport…
