Resumo: | Expanded individual availability and flexibility is necessary in order to progress in a management career to senior level. If managers owe all their time to the organisation and their work as managers they are left with no time to invest in the management of their private lives. Therefore, it remains unspoken in their management work how they are able to create time and space to enjoy free time during their non-working hours. Managers female partners prepare all the domestic work in the private sphere in order for the manager to enjoy their free time in any leisure activity. The empirical evidence for this argument derives from 64 in-depth interviews with male managers from three European countries (Germany, Portugal, the United Kingdom) working for one large multinational company. These interviews cover the views of a variety of male managers with an age range between 30 and 65 years and, thus, different management positions and life stages. This article explores three different layers of time in male managers work careers: non-working time, free-time and leisure time. It includes the concept of leisure work which enables managers to devote themselves absolutely to whatever they want to do in their non-working time. Therefore combining a professional career and family life for male managers is only a question of balancing their work as male managers and leisure time and not an issue of tension between employment and domestic obligations. |

Se um gestor homem investe todo o seu tempo na organização e no trabalho, ficará sem tempo disponível para investir na gestão da sua vida privada. Desta forma, continua por investigar como é os gestores são capazes de criar tempo e espaço para gozarem os seus tempos livres nas horas em que não trabalham. São as companheiras dos gestores que continuam a preparar todo o trabalho doméstico na esfera privada, para que estes homens possam gozar os seus tempos livres em qualquer actividade de lazer. A evidência empírica para este artigo deriva de 64 entrevistas com homens gestores de três países Europeus (Alemanha, Portugal e Grã Bretanha), que trabalham para uma multinacional de grande dimensão. Estas entrevistas cobrem as perspectivas de gestores homens com idades compreendidas entre os 30 e 65 anos, e com diferentes posições em cargos de gestão e ciclos de vida. Este artigo explora três dimensões de tempo que são importantes para o trabalho e carreira de homens gestores: tempo fora do trabalho, tempo livre e tempo de lazer. Este último conceito é aquele que permite aos gestores dedicação absoluta ao que desejarem nos seus tempos fora do trabalho. Por conseguinte, para homens gestores, combinar uma carreira profissional com a vida familiar é apenas uma questão de equilibrar o seu trabalho com o seu tempo de lazer, não constituindo qualquer motivo de tensão entre emprego e obrigações domésticas.Instituto Superior de Psicologia AplicadaRepositório do ISPAReis, Cristina2016-06-27T18:55:47Z2003-01-01T00:00:00Z2003-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.12/4747engComportamento Organizacional e Gestão, 9, 179-1940872-9662info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2022-09-05T16:40:29Zoai:repositorio.ispa.pt:10400.12/4747Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T15:22:35.776898Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
