we hope that this paper can provide theoretical framework for others when exploring the ideal worker culture to see how such culture and changes in such cultures shape work outcomes. We did this for part-time preference where we see our cultural norms make a difference. (graph below for men)

The results shows that work devotion culture is slowly declining - masculinity at work on the other hand, is a bit slower to move. While, dual/plural devotion is rising quite a bit, as is degendering natures of work cultures across occupations. Also there seems to be some convergence

Firstly - unlike previous papers, we examine the ideal worker culture as a multidimensional item where it is on the one hand about whether we allow workers single (only to work!) or multiple devotions (work and private life) and whether work cultures are masculine or more de-gendered.

Oh I felt something similar when I was on BBC radio 4 panel talking about work culture. I'm sorry you experienced this.
