Remote Work and Post-Bureaucracy: Unintended Consequences of Work Design for Gender Inequality
研究对比敏捷（后官僚制）和瀑布（官僚制）两种工作设计对远程工作采纳的性别影响，发现敏捷模式反而促使员工现场办公，导致更多女性远程工作且整体远程比例低，而瀑布模式更灵活且性别平等。
= 84) working under two types of work design-a post-bureaucratic work design labeled "agile," and a bureaucratic work design labeled "waterfall"-are used to examine gendered patterns in the adoption of remote work. Interviews reveal an unintended consequence of the agile model: It promotes a physical orientation that induces on-site work. Agile is gender-inegalitarian, with more women than men working remotely despite its perceived unacceptability, and low numbers of employees working remotely overall. By contrast, workers within a waterfall work design express a digital orientation to work and feel empowered to work remotely. The waterfall model is associated with gender egalitarianism; most employees opt to work remotely, and men and women do so in even numbers. Findings suggest that when compared to the post-bureaucratic work design, the bureaucratic work design provides more flexibility. This article refines our understanding of barriers to remote work and provides a lens on the gender dynamics underlying work design.
