Career expectations of women and men have been documented extensively in both the career and the work-family literature, albeit very often focusing on women. This paper proposes to complement the existing work by shifting attention to men. Based on a French national survey and using multiple linear regression models with moderations, we examine the differential of career success expectations (CSE) — as measured by the perceived chances of promotion or wage increase — between men and women who face work-family conflict and use flexible work arrangements (teleworking and part-time work). We show that work-family conflict has a stronger negative influence on men's CSE than on women's, teleworking has a stronger positive influence on women's CSE than on men's, and part-time work has the same negative influence on both men's and women's CSE. This allows us to discuss the impact of the ideal worker norm on career success expectations and to show that a deviation from this norm has different effects on men's and women's career success expectations.

女性和男性的职业期望在职业和工作家庭文献中都有大量记录，尽管通常关注女性。本文建议通过将注意力转移到男性来补充现有的工作。基于法国的一项全国调查，并使用有节制的多元线性回归模型，我们研究了面临工作与家庭冲突的男性和女性之间职业成功期望 (CSE) 的差异（以晋升或加薪的感知机会来衡量）。采用灵活的工作安排（远程工作和兼职工作）。我们发现，工作与家庭冲突对男性 CSE 的负面影响比对女性更强，远程办公对女性 CSE 的积极影响比对男性更强，兼职工作对男性和女性的 CSE 具有相同的负面影响。这使我们能够讨论理想工人规范对职业成功期望的影响，并表明偏离该规范对男性和女性职业成功期望有不同的影响。
