abstract: 'Flexible working arrangements (FWA) ``for all, from the CEO down{''''},
have begun to be promoted in Australia, heralded as a means to finally
achieve gender equity in the workplace. However, workplaces are gendered
spaces in which masculine traits and unconstrained availability are
usually highly valued, as encapsulated in the notion of the ideal
worker, and women are seen as lacking or ``other{''''}. We undertook a
study to examine how upper level managers in large, male-dominated
organizations endorsing FWA for all perceived and reflected on the use
of FWA within their organizations and by themselves. Interviews were
undertaken with 12 upper level managers (9 men). Applying a social
constructionist perspective and critical theoretical lens informed by
theories of Acker and Ahmed, qualitative analysis suggested that,
despite being ``for all{''''} in organizational rhetoric, FWA remains
viewed as ``for women{''''}, and appropriate to lower level, routinized
roles. Upper level managers described themselves and other men as able
to be ``flexible about their flexibility{''''} thus maintaining their
standing as ideal workers. This framing of flexibility has implications
for men, women and society. It enabled ongoing positioning of women as
other in workplace settings, rendering invisible structural inequality.
Thus, FWA for all does not necessarily transform workplace gender
equity.'
