Work-Nonwork Conflict and the Phenomenology of Time. Beyond the Balance Metaphor.

Thompson, Jeffery A.; Bunderson, J. Stuart

Work and Occupations: An International Sociological Journal, v28 n1 p17-39 Feb 2001

An alternative to the work-nonwork balance metaphor is the concept of time as container of meaning. A model relates meanings derived from work and nonwork time to the experience of work-nonwork conflict. This conflict is shaped by the extent to which work and nonwork time affirms or conflicts with identity. (Contains 75 references.) (Author/SK)
