Part-time as the norm? : Qualitative research of the factors that form the basis for the high proportion of part-time working women in Laholm municipality’s women-dominated operations (English)
Abstract [sv]

Andelen deltidsanställda kvinnor inom Laholms kommuns verksamheter är hög. För att ändra det behövs kunskap kring bakomliggande faktorerna till valet av deltidsarbete. Kommunen saknar den kunskap som behövs för att kunna nå målet med projektet Heltidsresan. I denna studie har en kvalitativ forskningsintervju använts för att ta reda på vilka bakomliggande faktorer det finns till att en stor andel kvinnor inom Laholms kommuns verksamheter arbetar deltid. Syftet med studien var att uppnå kunskap kring bakomliggande faktorer samt kommunens arbete med projektet Heltidsresan, vars syfte ligger i att införa heltid som norm. Frågeställningen i studien var “Vilka faktorer påverkar kvinnor, anställda i Laholms kommuns verksamheter, att arbeta deltid och vad gör kommunledningen för att främja arbetet mot heltid som norm? “. De teorier som används för att analysera fenomenet deltidsanställning var system och livsvärld av Habermas, intersektionalitet av Los De Reyes och Mulinaris och teorin om emotionellt arbete av Hochschild. Studien har genom intervjuer nått kunskap kring bakomliggande faktorer till varför kvinnor inom Laholms kommuns verksamheter arbetar deltid. Av resultatet visar det sig främst vara tre faktorer till att kvinnorna arbetar deltid. Barnomsorgen i hemmet utifrån traditionella könsroller, arbetsvillkor och ekonomisk skillnad mellan män och kvinnor.
