| Title | IMAGINARY ADVANTAGE - INVISIBLE EXPLOITATION PART TIME WORK POSITIONS AT A CORPOPARE COMPANY IN HUNAGRY |
| Summary | This paper is an attempt to look at the issue of part time work in Hungary from a perspective that take into account the relative absence of part time employment if we compare Hungary to the EU 15 countries. The feminist scholarships discuss the discriminatory factors of part time work and men's absence from it. I concentrate on the following questions: how part time work functions at a given workplace, who and under what conditions people are able to archive it, how organizations treat part time workers at workplaces? I conducted interviews with professional part-timers and their superiors in a food production corporate located in Budapest. Based on this empirical research I contend that the corporate culture dislikes part time employment and I argue that the small group of part time workers are exceptional cases, they are employed to fulfil company's need. I also claim that part-timers have to face to the same organizational pressure, such as long working hours, always being available, similarly to full-time workers, which makes their part-time work a precarious position in the long term. |
