However, looking more closely into the meaning of this, it becomes clear that it is about gaining greater control of some concrete decisions, as, for example, those listed in Dawson's (2000) report and confirmed by the other sources mentioned previously: to be able to employ who one chooses, to determine the hours (but not the amount of hours), to determine the tasks, to gain flexibility in the employment relationships and to decrease the involvement with professional agencies.…”
