  • 1.  seek inputs on literature on flexiwork practices

    Posted 11-19-2012 14:32
    Hello,

    I am a doctoral student at the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad. I am thinking of doing my dissertation on flexiwork practices (that belong to the broad area of 'work-life balance'/'family friendly' practices for e.g. flexitme, telecommuting etc.). I seek your inputs on key readings in this area and key readings in related areas such as work-life balance, work-family conflict, work-non work boundary, temporality etc that are relevant to flexiwork. I am pasting below the list of readings that I have compiled so far. I plan to compile another list based on the responses to this message and post it back on the listserv. Thank you in advance.

    Hello Dharma Raju Bathini,

     

    You seem to have a good list to start with – you could look at the Work and Family Researchers Network and their literature database and list of members with research interests (http://workfamily.sas.upenn.edu/).

     

    It seems that some names are missing from you list – for instance (and not exhaustively by any means!), J. Greenhaus, C. A. Thompson, N. Rothbard, M. Valcour, M. Pitt-Catsouphes, J.G. Grzywacz, D. S. Carlson, K.M. Kacmar. There are also more European scholars working on flexible work arrangements and related concepts (e.g. L. den Dulk, P. Peters, C. Warhust, D. R. Eikhof, A. Haunschild, M. Russo, myself, and many more), and from many other countries outside the US (e.g. A. Bardoel, J. Haar).

     

    For a comprehensive review, I like Kelly, E.L., Kossek, E.E., Hammer, L.B., Durham, M., Bray, J., Chermack, K., et al. Getting there from here: Research on the effects of work-family initiatives on work family conflict and business outcomes. The Academy of Management Annals, 2008, 2(7), 305-349.

     

    In addition, if you are not a member already, consider the Gender and Diversity in Organizations (GDO) division, they also have a good listserv.

     

    I hope this helps!

    Posted 11-19-2012 17:39
    Hi Dharma,
    These two sites may help - there is a lot being done on this subject in the realm of older workers.  You may want to check the Behavioral Sciences Section of the Gerontology Society of America site and do some searches on older workers and flexibility in Australia, the UK and Europe, there is a lot of work originating from there too.  These two sites are from two groups in the US.

    It's a worthy topic - Good luck!

    Hello,

    I am a doctoral student at the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad. I am thinking of doing my dissertation on flexiwork practices (that belong to the broad area of 'work-life balance'/'family friendly' practices for e.g. flexitme, telecommuting etc.). I seek your inputs on key readings in this area and key readings in related areas such as work-life balance, work-family conflict, work-non work boundary, temporality etc that are relevant to flexiwork. I am pasting below the list of readings that I have compiled so far. I plan to compile another list based on the responses to this message and post it back on the listserv. Thank you in advance.

    Hello,

    I am a doctoral student at the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad. I am thinking of doing my dissertation on flexiwork practices (that belong to the broad area of 'work-life balance'/'family friendly' practices for e.g. flexitme, telecommuting etc.). I seek your inputs on key readings in this area and key readings in related areas such as work-life balance, work-family conflict, work-non work boundary, temporality etc that are relevant to flexiwork. I am pasting below the list of readings that I have compiled so far. I plan to compile another list based on the responses to this message and post it back on the listserv. Thank you in advance.
