This book is dedicated to the role of work organizations when it comes to the realization of an active fatherhood. Firstly, it deals with barriers for active fatherhood and its correlating mechanisms of inequality: Which aspects of discrimination and social closure do fathers face today if they assert a claim for active fatherhood, and with what kind of barriers are they confronted? Secondly, capabilities of fathers are addressed: Which is their possible scope of action, who are relevant actors, what is the effect of policies and programs on change and organizational learning with respect to fatherhood? The authors discuss these questions on three different levels, which are considered especially relevant for fathers in the work organizational context: a) life conduct and its correlating identities, and strategies of working fathers, b) the influence of organizational cultures and rationalities, and finally c) policies and politics of fatherhood, including not only political measures, but also negotiation processes on an organizational level. In this book, these issues are addressed from different disciplinary perspectives, and within different national contexts. Besides new empirical results the bool provides further cross-disciplinary concepts and theoretical perspectives.
