Joan Ackers concern underlying her conceptualisation of deeply embedded gendering of work processes is that social and organizational processes are depicted as “gender neutral” while on the contrary they perpetuate deeply embedded gendered constructions of power and processes. Acker suggests that this project of hegemonic masculinity is carried out through what she conceptualizes as the “abstract job” based managerial policies and practices. This study attempts to engage with the concept of “abstract job” in the changing context of mobile workers. The study also ex plores t he response s of mobi l e workers to the gendered changes in mobile working by adapting Merton’s fivefold framework depicting responses to such changes. The findings provide conceptual insights into decoding embedded gendering in mobile working.
