Abstract [en]

This study examines how hybrid work arrangements influence parents of young children, with a specific focus on the role distribution between work and family life. The research question is based on the observation that parents of young children are a demographic prone to job transitions and experience high levels of stress due to the dual demands of work and parenthood. The theoretical framework focuses on “Work-Family Balance Theory” and “Border Theory”, which explore role distribution and boundary management. The study employs a qualitative research design, conducting interviews with eight participants using a semi-structured interview guide via google meet. The findings highlight that hybrid work can enhance the ability of parenting to achieve an easier role distribution between their roles as family members and workers. However, it also complicates boundary management, making it more challenging to establish clear distinctions between work and family domains. The study also examines the differences between men's and women's experiences of hybrid work, resulting in the observation that hybrid work reduces the disparity in conditions between the genders in terms of household workload as well as the opportunity to work full time.
