“…By embedding our interviews with fathers in this way, it is possible to move our examination away from abstract notions of traditional and modern conceptualisations of fathers to a more everyday understanding upon which men's identities are built (Haslam, 2004;O'Brien, 2005). Thus using a qualitative approach was consistent not only with the aims of the study but also compatible with an approach which sought to critically appraise the apparent mismatch between new constructions of fatherhood, increasing evidence of men's Father Identity and Work Family Balance 6 6 experience of work family conflict (Janzen, & Kelly, 2012) and the ongoing and persistent nature of occupational and domestic division of labour (Laurijssen, & Glorieux, 2013).…”

“…Thus a 'father identity' is defined as an 'internalized set of father role expectations' (Stryker, 1987), which are seen to influence behavior within that role. The social identity approach (see Haslam, 2004) has been used to illustrate both the amount and manner of father involvement, asserting that fathers' involvement with children is influenced by the meanings and importance they attach to their fathering role (Olmstread, Futris & Pasley, 2009). For example aspects of a fathers identity; namely competence, satisfaction and investment in the father role, predicts involvement with children post divorce.…”

Work and family roles have changed considerably in the past number of decades. Fathers are now expected to fulfil the role of ‘new father’ that involves actively caring and sharing in child rearing and, at the same time, maintain commitment to their occupational role. As a consequence, men are subject to the same pressure that women were when they initially entered the workplace decades ago and indeed still are today. This study aims to explore the meanings fathers attach to their life roles, how these meanings influence behaviour within these roles and how they negotiate the demands of these roles. In‐depth interviews were carried out with 15 fathers, and the results were analysed adhering to the principles of grounded theory. The findings show the variability among fathers in both their commitment to fathering and the meanings they attach to that role. A significant tension between new fatherhood ideals and actual fathering practices is also apparent. These findings are discussed drawing upon traditional definitions of masculinity and wider occupational and cultural influences. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…values, personality traits, idiosyncratic tastes and interpersonal relationships (personal identity), and those elements deriving from membership of a particular group (social identity theory) or tied to social roles (identity theory). Behavior is mainly driven by the personal identity in interpersonal relations, while social identity becomes increasingly salient in intergroup relations (Halsam 2004). An individual's identity is important because it prescribes (behavioural) norms that circumscribe the life domains that are relatively more important for the sense of self Kranton 2000, 2005).…”

Specifically, it investigates the relationship between the importance individuals attach to labor-market activities -which is influenced by the identity to which they adhere -and their preferences for job attributes. The analysis shows that individuals who consider labor-market success as instrumental for achieving their life goals tend to attach importance to job characteristics such as pay level and career and training opportunities. Individuals for whom non-labor market activities are important and in conflict with labor market activities are found to attach importance to the possibility of working on a convenient time schedule. Moreover, consistently with the identity approach to labor-market behavior, men appear to resolve the conflict between career and non-work activities in favor of the former. Finally, unobserved factors that increase the desire to work part-time have a negative impact on the likelihood of attaching importance to training and career opportunities offered by the job.JEL Classification: J22, J24, Z13

“…Once people believe that the group is meaningful they appreciate their group membership (Cruwys et al, 2014). Feeling part of the group, developed through group interaction, helps keep people motivated to participate in group activities (Haslam, 2012). The group membership promotes a sense of 'us' and helps to build shared social identity among people in group activities.…”
