“…Both partners filled in the diaries on the same days. The data have been weighted to give an equal spread of household characteristics and weekdays versus weekend days (Glorieux et al 2008a). Table 1 shows the average time both partners spend together and individually on 14 clusters of activities together for a ''synthetic'' week.…”

“…In the absence of encompassing cultural temporal conventions, for those Americans who wish to leave their office on the early side and who wield sufficient bargaining power to fend off the demands of the organization, the primary recourse involves individualized negotiation and bargaining. Thus, in the American workplace, the professional with the most bargaining power possesses the most time sovereignty (Glorieux et al 2008;Lewis and Weigert 1981) relative to his or her employer's temporal regime.…”

This article explores the subtle yet far-reaching ways that cultural environments shape the uses of the evening hours among business professionals in three countries. Drawing on interviews with professional men and women living and working in Paris, Oslo, and San Francisco from a spectrum of professional fields and employers, the article explores their evening routines. Three contrasting patterns are identified. Where the early evening hours between 17:00 and 21:00 are concerned, French, Norwegian, and American professionals traverse different cultural terrains. The French professionals and their employers treat this temporal zone as a status-conferring period. Adhering to a transorganizational cultural convention defining the early evening as work time, they use these hours to distinguish themselves as committed practioners of their métier equipped with status and authority. In Norway, comparable professionals approach this period as nonwork time off limits to their employer. Early departures from the office are encouraged and facilitated in the Norwegian workplace. Among the American professionals far less uniformity prevails among the evening routines of respondents working in different organizations and occupations. This variability is explained by the absence of the higher-level temporal conventions present in the two European contexts. In the American setting two deciding factors come into play: the temporal expectations of the professional's employer and the bargaining power wielded by the individual professional vis-à-vis this employer. These differences between the evening routines of the three groups reflect important cultural differences across countries with broadly similar postindustrial landscapes.

“…Daniel Hamermesh (1995) highlighted the importance of analyzing what people are doing at specific points in the day instead of focusing on the total amount of time. In general, those who are less educated, have fewer skills, and are members of minority groups tend to work at night, which indicates that people with high levels of human capital do not prefer a nonstandard work schedule (Glorieux et al, 2008; Hamermesh, 1995; Minnen et al, 2016).…”

“…Given that self-employed people and people with few resources are more likely to work nonstandard schedules (Glorieux et al, 2008; Hamermesh, 1995; Minnen et al, 2016), high rates of self-employed people and temporary employment in Korea may be associated with working nonstandard schedules or excessive hours. In Korea, the self-employment rate, including unpaid family workers, is about 25% and the temporary employment rate is about 21.2%; both measures place Korea seventh highest among OECD countries (OECD, 2018).…”

Korea is well known for long work hours. This study examined the effect of not only the total amount of working time but also work schedules on individuals’ subjective well-being in Korea. Drawing on the 2014 Korean Time Use Survey data, the authors selected currently employed people aged 19–65 and examined the effects of total work hours as well as work schedules on feeling rushed, feeling tired, and life satisfaction. Based on the ordered logistic regression analysis, long work hours were negatively related to subjective well-being regardless of work schedules. After adding an interaction between standard and nonstandard work schedules, the study found that while work hours during both standard and nonstandard schedules are associated with declines in psychological status, the negative effect of working time during nonstandard work schedules on subjective well-being is stronger as the work hours during standard schedules decrease.
