摘要
This article reports on research that explored the experience of 25 professional management employees who worked regular periods from home, but remained full-time salaried employees. Based on interviews with these workers in their home using language, routines and observations as data the article tracks how organizational policies of flexibility translate into individuals' experience of lived temporalities. The article concludes with the view that such new forms of work organization are neither necessarily corrosive of character, nor do they provide the individual with unlimited opportunity to shape the work process beyond organizational control. Rather, they recast the relationship between 'home' and 'work', necessitating the individual to engage reflectively with both spheres.
