A MULTI-LEVEL PERSPECTIVE ON PART-TIME WORK ARRANGEMENTS: A NEW ROADMAP

Abstract

McComb, Barringer and Bourne have presented a multi-level perspective for understanding the phenomenon of part-time employment that can serve as a very useful framework or roadmap for future research. Within this commentary particular attention is given to reinforcement of a number of issues raised by the authors, as well as some suggestions for further elaboration on their “cross-level moderator” and “mixed determinant” models of work arrangements. Some specific comments are offered pertaining to further examination of individual-, organizational-, and group-level variables.
