Although the use of the father's quota of parental leave has become a majority practice among Norwegian fathers, there is some variation between different groups of fathers. This article explores how male managers in the engineering industry and male brokers in the finance industry use the father's quota. Based on the theoretical framework of institutional logics, the article uses two pairs of opposite concepts-'available and unavailable' and 'replaceable and irreplaceable' in a work context, to focus on how the use of the father's quota is affected. Analyzing two different male-dominated organizations, the findings show how the use of the father's quota depends on different institutional logics, which sets the framework for the practice and culture of the two organizations. The male managers in the engineering industry become unavailable and replaceable in their organizations, thus making it possible for the fathers to use the father's quota and parental leave. In contrast to this, the institutional logic in the finance industry makes brokers available and irreplaceable in their organizations, thus making it difficult for them to use father's quota or parental leave
