Abstract

Introduction One group of employees who probably have a tarnished image with management are part‐time women workers. The mention of “part‐timers” often brings forth images of unpredictable schoolgirls working on a Saturday in local stores, or conjures up memories of those full employment days when as a last resort it became necessary on occasions to employ women who would not conform and work normal hours. These employment myths of yesteryear are usually unrealistic and such images are now totally unrepresentative.
