Fehlende) Selbstbestimmung über die Arbeitszeit und Abschalten von der Arbeit. Welche Rolle spielen Intensität und Extensivierung der Arbeit

How is self-determination (i. e. flexitime and working-time autonomy) and the lack of self-­determination (i. e. fixed schedules and employer-oriented flexible schedules) related to cognitive work-to-home spillover for women and men, meaning the ability to switch-off after work? And do they experience this cognitive work-to-home spillover and the lack of self-determination because of work intensity and extension of working hours, i. e. work pressure and overtime hours? The author discusses these questions with the help of multivariate analyses based on the German Socio-Economic Panel Study of 2011 and 2012. It is shown that for men working-time autonomy is related to a higher cognitive work-to-home spillover, mainly due to overtime hours. For women, working-time unpredictability and unreliability seem to be reasons for higher spillover with employer-oriented schedules. Employees, both women and men, experienced the least spillover with flexitime and fixed schedules.
