In this review, we synthesise the growing body of interdisciplinary research on fatherhood and employment for the purpose of guiding future management studies research on the topic. We argue that shifts in research approaches and assumptions are required to fully understand the situation of contemporary employed fathers. Our review draws attention to four distinct but related lenses: work, family, and fatherhood; masculine hegemony and fatherhood; involved fathering; and diversity and fatherhood. Extant research on fatherhood and employment reflects often static notions about the ‘nuclear family’, with expectations about paternal work orientation failing to reflect contemporary paternal experience. We introduce the sociological concept of ‘family practices’ as a means of shifting from traditional (wherein fathers are positioned as breadwinners and mothers as child-carers within heterosexual couples) to more fluid family forms that characterise 21^st century ways of ‘doing fatherhood’. Implications and avenues for future management studies research are discussed.

父亲与就业回顾：引入管理研究的新视角

在这篇综述中，我们综合了越来越多的关于父亲身份和就业的跨学科研究，以指导未来的管理学研究。我们认为，要充分了解当代就业父亲的情况，就需要改变研究方法和假设。我们的评论提请注意四个不同但相关的镜头：工作、家庭和父亲身份；男性霸权和父权；涉及育儿；多样性和父权. 现有的关于父亲身份和就业的研究往往反映了关于“核心家庭”的静态概念，对父亲工作取向的期望未能反映当代父亲的经验。我们引入“家庭实践”的社会学概念，作为从传统（父亲被定位为养家糊口的人，母亲被定位为异性恋夫妻中的儿童照顾者）转变为更具流动性的家庭形式的一种手段，这些家庭形式是 21^世纪“做父亲”方式的特征. 讨论了未来管理研究的意义和途径。
