International labour standards and platform work. An analysis of digital labour platforms based on the instruments on private employment agencies, home work and domestic work KU Leuven
Policymakers across the world have been concerned about the increasing prominence of platform work arrangements. In these jobs, workers rely on a platform to obtain what are often short-term 'gigs'. Problematic is the fact that these workers tend not to enjoy much income stability, which is aggravated due to their poor access to social security protections. They also suffer from other deficits, like a lack of occupational safety and health ...
Clarifying the dynamic interrelation of conflicts between the work and home domain and counterproductive work behavior. Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven
This study investigates the daily relationship between experiencing home–work conflict (HWC) and an employee’s performance of counterproductive work behaviour (CWB) directed towards the individual counterproductive work behavior directed towards the individual (CWBI) and CWB directed towards the organization (CWBO).

New ways of working: An aid for employees? Understanding inconsistencies in the relationship between work–home practices and employees’ home and work outcomes Universiteit Hasselt
This dissertation studies the effects of work-home practices (i.e., HR-practices that can facilitate employees’ work-home combination), in particular home-based telework and part-time work, on employee wellbeing and performance outcomes, in particular work-home conflict, stress, work engagement and job performance. Despite the growing prevalence of these practices in organizations, studies to date show mixed results and no consensus exists on ...
Home work, telework and the regulation of working time Vrije Universiteit Brussel
In this article it is argued that at the conceptual level, teleworkers can be integrated into the (continental) concept of employee as opposed to 'traditional' home workers. To that end the author illustrates how the adoption of the notion of subordination as definitional element of the contract of employment, created an incongruence between the concept of employee and the notion of home worker. This incongruence is far from apparent with regard ...

New ways of working: An aid for employees? Understanding inconsistencies in the relationship between work–home practices and employees’ home and work outcomes KU Leuven
Organizations today increasingly offer work-home practices to their employees. Work-home practices are HR initiatives that provide employees with additional resources (e.g., flexibility, time) that can facilitate balancing work with other life roles and may therefore help to lower employees' work-home conflict, that is, the conflict that occurs when employees' participation in their work role interferes with their participation in their home ...
