Introduction Nowadays, people in all walks of life are increasingly pressed for time. This may be engendered by the intensification of paid work, the increase in female labour-market participation resulting in a growing number of workers having substantive family obligations, and people’s higher expectations of personal development and leisure- consumption (see Robinson and Godbey, 1997; Schor, 1992). In the present study we are concerned with how time and time use are experienced and how specific work and household conditions influence feelings of time pressure. We particularly focus on one work condition and its supposed capacity to reduce time pressure, i.e. telehomeworking. Telehomeworking refers to working at or from home during (at least part of) the employees’ contractual working hours, often, but not necessarily, mediated by IT (Felstead et al., 2000). Among the drivers for telehomeworking is its widely perceived potential to help workers cope with the mutual incompatability of paid work and the rest of life, and to reduce related time TI - The time-pressure reducing potential of telehomeworking: the Dutch case JF - International Journal of Human Resource Management DO - 10.1080/09585190601167730 DA - 2007-03-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/taylor-francis/the-time-pressure-reducing-potential-of-telehomeworking-the-dutch-case-ABAFKt0lG1 SP - 430 EP - 447 VL - 18 IS - 3 DP - DeepDyve ER -
