Updating the Image of the Ideal Worker
The image of the 'ideal' worker and its attendant expectation of complete devotion to work has long been believed to be a key driver of workplace gender inequality. Scholars have mostly examined how women - and mothers in particular -navigate expectations that they devote themselves to work. Less attention has been paid to men's experiences, echoing the tendency to frame work-family conflict as a 'woman's problem'. Yet, the author shows that a majority of men and women in the workplace experience some conflict regarding the ideal-worker stereotype. Further, many men who are considered to be 'ideal' workers are actually simply passing as such; while many women reveal their true work identity and are punished for it.
