| Abstract: | This article examines work attitudes and orientations of 50 female part-time workers using qualitative interviews. The women are working in low-level jobs in Britain. The results show that female part-timers do not form a homogenous group as workers, instead at least three work orientation groups are found: weak, instrumental, and ambitious commitment. It is argued that women's possibilities to choose btw. 'family work' and 'market work' are still limited. |
