| Abstract: | In the context of economic restructuring and the reorganization of working time, the question of working-time preferences is emerging as an important component of both academic and policy debates. This article starts by developing a framework for interpreting preference formation and change, with particular emphasis on the societal institutional system and existing national working-time regime in which individuals' behaviour and preferences are located. This framework is then applied to highlight the particular features of the national working-time regime and associated 'gender order' in Britain, followed by an analysis of gender similarities and differences in work orientations and working-time preferences in this country. The results show that work orientations and working-time preferences are related to labour market circumstances for both sexes. |
