This award is presented to author(s) of the best research paper published in a given year.
de Laat’s work was recognized as being one of the top 13 articles among over 2,500 work-family articles published in 2023. To be considered for this award, a very rigorous process involving nomination and review by a committee of over 70 leading scholars determined this year’s finalists from articles published in over 70 leading English-language journals from around the world.
de Laat’s article contrasted two prominent work design systems – “agile” and “waterfall” – to examine gendered patterns in the adoption of remote work and the consequences of each design. de Laat helps refine the understanding of potential barriers to remote work and the gender dynamics underlying work design.
