Cultural Schemas, Social Class, and the Flexibility Stigma (2013, background): “In contrast to experimental studies, which typically find a larger flexibility stigma for men than for women (Allen & Russell, 1999; Butler & Skattebo, 2004), Coltrane and his co-authors find few statistically significant differences between the flexibility stigma for men and for women.”
Does home life interfere with or facilitate job performance? (2010, background): “Second, experimental research has shown that performance ratings of men who experience family–work conflict are lower than those of women (Butler & Skattebo, 2004) (because they behave contrary to gender role stereotypes).”
The Gender Pay Gap: Challenging the Rationalizations. Perceived Equity, Discrimination, and the Limits of Human Capital Models (2012, background): “Indeed, men tend to perceive higher organizational time demands (Beauregard 2006) and have traditionally been more penalized than women for failing to comply with work role expectations and for accommodating nonwork demands such as family responsibilities (Butler and Skattebo 2004).”
The constraints of a ‘work–life balance’ approach: an international perspective (2007, background): “Thus most men remain unable or reluctant to make significant changes in paid work and other parts of their life, and many women who take up ‘WLB’ policies continue to be marginalized (Brandth and Kvande, 2001 ; Butler and Skattebo, 2004 ; De Cierei, 2005 ).”
Penalizing Men Who Request a Family Leave: Is Flexibility Stigma a Femininity Stigma? (2013, methodology): “Replicating past research, men who requested a family leave were viewed as poor workers (Butler & Skattebo, 2004; Wayne & Codeiro, 2003) and ineligible for rewards (Allen & Russell, 1999).”
How much do you value your family and does it matter? The joint effects of family identity salience, family-interference-with-work, and gender (2008, result): “This argument is consistent with research showing that women are more receptive to the interference of family responsibilities with their work (Butler & Skattebo, 2004), because, after all, it is their family role that is more central to their self-perceptions.”
