Call for papers Study Groups
The group covers all aspects of flexible work including part-time work, timework, home working, shift work, flexible hours, compressed working week and other flexible work arrangements. The aim is to bring together scholars working in this area to network and discuss work in progress or recently completed.

Work may be at the macro, organizational or individual level; or on empirical research that is country, region, sector or organization specific. We welcome reports on research in progress, as well as theoretical and methodological contributions.
