本文的出发点是在工作生活的某些部分引入新的灵活时间制度。人们越来越关注知识工作如何发展成为员工在工作中投入越来越多时间的全面承诺型组织。本文通过来自法律和计算机公司的两个案例研究，重点关注全球化知识组织中的工作组织和时间组织，以及这对身为父亲的男性员工的时间实践有何影响。同一时期，北欧国家出台了国家激励措施和法规，旨在帮助父亲实现工作与生活的平衡。文章还讨论了这是否是一项富有成效的政策，或者在灵活时间文化中工作的父亲是否需要更多的放松管制、个人选择和灵活的政策措施。
This article takes as its point of departure the introduction of a new flexible time regime in parts of working life. There has been increased focus on how knowledge work in particular is developing into total commitment organizations where employees put in more and more time at work. Using two case studies from law and computing companies the article focuses on the organization of work and the organization of time in globalized knowledge organizations, and what effect this has on the time practices of male employees who are fathers. In the same period the Nordic countries have introduced state incentives and regulations that aim to help fathers achieve work-life balance. The article also discusses whether this is a fruitful policy, or whether fathers working in flexible time cultures need more deregulation, individual choice and flexible policy measures.
