The interview with Arlie Hochschild took place in Berkeley in May 2006 when she was about to finish her formal academic career as a professor of sociology. Hochschild has introduced into sociology concepts such as the second shift, the stalled revolution, management of emotions, emotional work, the time bind, and many more. Arlie has been a major contributor to the field of sociology and we are grateful for the time she spared for this interview. She is the author of 'The Unexpected Community' (1973), 'The Managed Heart' (1983), 'The Second Shift' (1989), 'The Time Bind' (1997), 'Global Woman: Nannies, Maids and Sex Workers in the New Economy' (co-edited with Barbara Ehrenreich, 2002) and 'The Commercial Spirit of Intimate Life and Other Essays' (2003). Her books have been translated in many languages, but none are yet available in Czech.

The study focuses on motivations for going into business which proved to be significantly differentiated according to gender. Women cited as one of the main motivation for going into business the possibilities for combining work and family responsibilities. Conversely, businessmen make a clear separation between their professional and family lives, and for them business is almost exclusively a mean for their own professional development. The study revealed that the structure of company management, from the perspective of gender and from the perspective of the particular line of business, has a fundamental influence on the distribution of work and responsibilities between partners and on the strategies whereby this distribution is reasoned and arranged. The authoress considers that the way of managing the company is dependent on sex of people associated in business, on their relationship (marriage) and line of business they work in.

The author argues that the attitudes of disinterest and ignorance of the Czech governmental officials and politicians towards gender equality during the period of EU Eastern enlargement was one of the most important factors that shaped the character of the promotion of women and gender equality. The text is based on analyses of semi-structured interviews with politicians and officials from the Czech government, and representatives of the European Commission carried out between 2003 and 2005. The strategy of the Czech government was to mechanically adopt everything that constitutes a precondition for the Czech Republic's accession to the EU. It is possible to observe two main, closely related factors in the attitude of the state towards these issues: firstly the conviction that there is no need or even demand on the part of society for any substantial legislative measures addressing gender equality or for the development of relevant infrastructure, as equality is already essentially established in the Constitution of the Czech Republic. The introduction of EU equality directives into the Czech legislation was perceived by Czech politicians a simple, technical task, required as one of the preconditions for EU accession. The second factor was the emphasis on the negative experiences with egalitarian policies under the communist regime. These two factors resulted on the one hand in a lack of sufficient trust on the part of the public and on the other hand in a lack of steps to implement this legislation and put the new institutions into practice.

Authors: Krizkova A. Title: Source: Gender, rovne prilezitosti, vyzkum (Gender, Equal Opportunities, Research) year: 2007, vol: 8, number: 2, pages: 60-67 Keywords: Discipline: Sociology Language: czech Document type: ARTICLE Publication order reference: Abstract: Work-life balance is a popular topic both in European and gradually also Czech sociology and in European strategies for employment and for dealing with population ageing. The article explores the topic of work-life balance from a theoretical perspective, in the context of contemporary European and world sociology, and from an empirical perspective, on the basis of a representative sociological survey of a population of parents conducted in 2005. The hypothesis of the pressure people experience to combine work and a family and gendered culture (Van der Lippe, Jager, Kops 2006), which puts the Czech Republic in the ranks of not very progressive countries in terms of gender equality, is verified in this survey, because, even though the majority of parents claimed that they are able to combine work and a family, there are nonetheless clear structural obstacles stemming from the design of public policies and institutions, which obstruct this balance. The Czech labour market is not parent- or family-friendly, and parenthood (especially motherhood) is a handicap in the Czech labour market. Work-life balance is not the subject of any public or political discussion, and consequently Czech parents do not usually have a comprehensive view of the problem and regard it as serious. Mothers and fathers know that combining work and family is the reality of their lives and at the same time a private problem that they try to solve by means of various strategies.

The article deals with the phenomenon of the sexual harassment in the working place in the Czech Republic. The authoresses analyze sexual harassment as one of effects of men's symbolic power over women causing cultural misrecognition of women and at the same time as one of factors supporting economic inequality between men and women in western societies. They apply the two-dimensional theory of justice by Nancy Fraser and argue that the existence of sexual harassment confirms Fraser's notion of gender as bivalent category as well as the necessity for combining the cultural politics of recognition with politics of redistribution. Furthermore, the article presents the research's results on incidence and forms of the sexual harassment in the population of the Czech Republic which was realized by the Public Opinion Research Center and by the Gender & sociology department of the Institute of Sociology, Academy of Science of the Czech Republic. The research confirms the existence and high significance of the phenomenon of sexual harassment within the working relations in the Czech Republic.
