Abstract
ICT can contribute to flexible working, but the question arises if women and men differ in the way they use ICT. Re-analyzing data collected in two diary studies comparing men and women on the length of ICT use, the type of positive and negative events in relation to ICT during the day, on the way home and in the evening, revealed little to no gender differences. We conclude that the occupational role overrides potential differences that might occur due to different gender roles and discuss future research opportunities in this area. For example, the question arises against the background of the gendered division of labor if occupational role and other factors determine ICT use, calling for an intersectional analysis.
