    Employees experience increasing workloads in today’s organisations and are expected to be more proactive in managing their work roles. In this paper we examine how employees manage non-preferred tasks within their work roles. We also identify the role of job autonomy in managing non-preferred tasks at work. Across 2 data collections in different settings we used purposive sampling to interview 20 hotel workers and 20 university academics. Respondents in both samples reported having non-preferred tasks within their work roles. Results suggest that autonomy played a significant role in helping employees manage non-preferred tasks. We discuss implications for theory and practice, and outline future research directions.
