Abstract

The digital transformation may disproportionately disadvantage female part-time workers, as they are affected by the flexibility stigma and career penalties. In this article, we ask: Is there a gendered part-time gap in work-related computer use and digital frustration in Germany? Latent class analysis and multivariate analysis, based on data from Wave 12 (2019/20) of the German National Educational Panel Study (NEPS) Starting Cohort 6 – Adults, showed that women – and part-time working women in particular – were less likely than men to be classified as ‘advanced users’. Furthermore, part-time working women felt least well prepared for using networked digital technologies at work and were thus more at risk of experiencing digital frustration. These findings suggest that the triadic association between technology, power and masculinity postulated by feminist technology theory should be extended to include full-time work.

德国工作场所的电脑使用和数字挫折：是否存在兼职的性别差距？

数字化转型可能对女性兼职工作者造成不成比例的不利影响，因为她们受到灵活性污名和职业惩罚的影响。在这篇文章中，我们的问题是：在德国，与工作有关的电脑使用和数字挫折感是否存在性别差异？基于德国国家教育小组研究（NEPS）第6队列（成人）第12波（2019/20）的数据，潜在类别分析和多变量分析表明，女性——尤其是兼职女性——被归类为“高级用户”的可能性低于男性。此外，兼职职业妇女对在工作中使用网络数字技术的准备不足，因此更有可能遭受数字挫折。这些发现表明，女性主义技术理论所假设的技术、权力和男性气质三者之间的联系应该扩展到包括全职工作。

Work, Employment and Society covers all aspects of work, employment and unemployment and their connections with wider social processes and social structures.
