To this end, qualitative research was employed to identify worker profiles deriving from these women’s working time preferences and the reasons for them. Our findings contribute to nuances in previous research by highlighting that: (1) some, but not all, of these employees can be considered underemployed; (2) working 20 hours per week does not equate to low work centrality and is compatible with working hours being experienced as meaningful; (3) some part-time women workers want to preserve time for non-caring, non-working activities in spite of the low salary. publication.journalArticle |
