Abstract

Career expectations of women and men have been documented extensively in both the career and the work-family literature, albeit very often focusing on women. This paper proposes to complement the existing work by shifting attention to men. Based on a French national survey and using multiple linear regression models with moderations, we examine the differential of career success expectations (CSE) — as measured by the perceived chances of promotion or wage increase — between men and women who face work-family conflict and use flexible work arrangements (teleworking and part-time work). We show that work-family conflict has a stronger negative influence on men's CSE than on women's, teleworking has a stronger positive influence on women's CSE than on men's, and part-time work has the same negative influence on both men's and women's CSE. This allows us to discuss the impact of the ideal worker norm on career success expectations and to show that a deviation from this norm has different effects on men's and women's career success expectations.

偏离理想员工标准和较低的职业成功期望:也是“男人的问题”?

女性和男性的职业期望在职业和工作-家庭文献中都有广泛的记录，尽管往往集中在女性身上。本文建议通过将注意力转向男性来补充现有的工作。基于法国的一项全国性调查，我们使用多元线性回归模型进行了调节，研究了面临工作与家庭冲突并使用灵活工作安排(远程工作和兼职工作)的男性和女性之间的职业成功期望(CSE)差异——以晋升或加薪的感知机会来衡量。研究发现，工作-家庭冲突对男性CSE的负面影响强于女性，远程办公对女性CSE的正面影响强于男性，兼职工作对男性和女性CSE的负面影响相同。这使我们能够讨论理想工作者规范对职业成功期望的影响，并表明偏离这一规范对男性和女性的职业成功期望有不同的影响。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Vocational Behavior publishes original empirical and theoretical articles offering unique insights into the realms of career choice, career development, and work adjustment across the lifespan. These contributions are not only valuable for academic exploration but also find applications in counseling and career development programs across diverse sectors such as colleges, universities, business, industry, government, and the military. The primary focus of the journal centers on individual decision-making regarding work and careers, prioritizing investigations into personal career choices rather than organizational or employer-level variables. Example topics encompass a broad range, from initial career choices (e.g., choice of major, initial work or organization selection, organizational attraction) to the development of a career, work transitions, work-family management, and attitudes within the workplace (such as work commitment, multiple role management, and turnover).
