| Abstract: | Existing studies on the relationship between women's work orientations and their labour market behaviour have neglected to pay attention to the issue of women's socioeconomic class. This article aims to tackle the shortcomings of antecedent studies: based on interview data, the work orientations of women in professional/managerial, intermediate and routine/manual socioeconomic classes in Oxford are analyzed. The results of the study indicate significant class-based differences in the work attitudes of women. The article also suggests that instead of the concept of "orientation", the concept of "work orientation" should be used in further research on the topic. |
