In the new economy, with shrinking organizational supports and increased precarity for professional workers, networking has intensified as an entrepreneurial career management strategy. Networking is embedded in the logic of new work organizations, but less attention has been paid to its impact on gender inequality. Through fifty interviews with workers from one tech company and nine months of observations, I ask: (1) In the new economy, with intense networking demands, how does gender structure the networking strategies of workers? And (2) How does the organization of networking contribute to gender inequality? I find that individuals draw on masculinity and femininity as they network in ways that reproduce gender status hierarchies. The structure and culture of networking disproportionately limit the careers of women compared to men by shaping their (1) networking approaches; (2) attitudes about networking; and (3) resources gained from networking. Men network by strategically socializing, confidently building informal relationships with other men through masculine activities and leveraging these relationships for key resources. Women cannot similarly access informal relationships, and so they engage in strategic networking, attending formal networking events that are less effective in providing career resources. Women embodying an elite, white femininity locate personal support in the company-sponsored women's network. However, this group reinforces organizational boundaries by gender and race. This article advances sociological literature on inequality in the new economy, drawing on gender theory to demonstrate how in elite, male-dominated industries like technology, networking contributes to the maintenance of gender inequalities.

Scholars are just beginning to understand how organizational processes shape LGBTQ workplace inequality. Using multimethod data from STEM professionals, this article examines how one such factor-the way work tasks are structured within organizations-may impact LGBTQ workers' experiences of marginalization and devaluation. Through interviews with STEM professionals at two NASA space flight centers with different work structures, we find that LGBTQ professionals at the NASA center where work is organized in dynamic project-based teams experienced less inclusive and respectful interactions with colleagues, in part because they had to rapidly establish credibility and develop new status management strategies each time they were shuffled into new teams. The stability of the traditional unit-based structure at the other NASA center, by contrast, allowed LGBTQ professionals time to navigate status management and build trust. This stability also facilitated LGBTQ community building. Analysis of survey data of over 14,000 US STEM professionals (594 who identify as LGBTQ) corroborates this work structure pattern: LGBTQ professionals across STEM disciplines and employment sectors working in dynamic project-based teams were more likely to report interpersonal marginalization and devaluation than LGBTQ professionals who worked in traditional unit-based structures. These findings highlight work structure as an important mechanism of LGBTQ inequality that demands further investigation.

While the election of Donald Trump in 2016 felt to many like an emergency, it was the culmination of deeply-rooted trends and power dynamics embedded in the economy, society, and the political system. The authors and editors of Labor in the Age of Trump clearly demonstrate that the Trump election was a manifestation of a chronic condition, not an acute crisis. The authors do, however, clearly define Trump’s election and ensuing policies as a crisis, creating a series of choices for the labor movement, the outcome of which might be existential. Scholars at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, Labor Center organized a conference in 2017 as a response to the questions, practical and academic, raised by Trump’s election victory. This edited volume includes contributions by conference participants. It represents an attempt to understand the longer trajectory that led to the Trump election and to suggest fruitful responses to this moment that might be both possible and necessary for organized labor. Editors Jasmine Kerrissey, Eve Weinbaum, Clare Hammonds, Tom Juravich, and the late Dan Clawson have provided a response to a particular moment that functions as an analysis of a much longer (and still unfolding) project. The book offers four sections. The first lays out competing explanations for the causes of Trump’s ascendancy. The second explains the mechanics of the Trump agenda, demonstrating the deep roots of attacks on public Book Reviews
虽然2016年唐纳德·特朗普的当选对许多人来说像是一场紧急事件，但它是经济、社会和政治体系中根深蒂固的趋势和权力动态的高潮。《特朗普时代的劳工》的作者和编辑们清楚地表明，特朗普当选是一种慢性疾病的表现，而不是一场急性危机。然而，作者明确地将特朗普的当选和随后的政策定义为一场危机，为劳工运动创造了一系列选择，其结果可能是存在的。马萨诸塞大学阿默斯特劳工中心的学者们在2017年组织了一次会议，以回应特朗普当选后提出的实际和学术问题。这个编辑卷包括与会者的贡献。它代表了一种尝试，试图理解导致特朗普当选的更长的轨迹，并提出对有组织的劳工来说既可能又必要的富有成效的回应。编辑Jasmine Kerrissey, Eve Weinbaum, Clare Hammonds, Tom Juravich和已故的Dan Clawson对一个特定的时刻做出了回应，作为对一个更长的(仍在展开的)项目的分析。这本书分为四个部分。第一篇文章对特朗普上位的原因提出了相互矛盾的解释。第二篇解释了特朗普议程的机制，展示了攻击公共书评的深层根源

This article examines to what extent multiple facets of pre-childbirth job satisfaction affect women's labor market outcomes after first childbirth in the UK. Using the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS) we find that higher levels of overall job satisfaction increase the probability of returning to work sooner, and to the same job, during the sample period. Satisfaction with job security, work hours and the work content - but not with pay – are important determinants of mothers’ employment choices. We discuss the role of job satisfaction on women's ability to combine work and family responsibilities, and related aspects of job quality.

In this article, we investigate how the strategies employers have for using non-standard employment – screening, workforce adaptability or cost reduction – affect the career outcomes of workers. To investigate this, we use multichannel sequence analysis to produce a typology of employment and income trajectories of workers with non-standard contracts in the Netherlands. The results show that workers starting employment in firms that use non-standard employment as a screening device are most likely to have careers with high levels of employment security. Strong scarring effects on the career are only found for workers who start employment in firms with cost reduction strategies.

In Bound by Creativity: How Contemporary Art is Created and Judged, Hannah Wohl constructs an exemplary examination of the contemporary art world, using her findings to contribute an understanding of how “creative visions,” distinct and identifiable aesthetic and/or conceptual perspectives throughout a body of artistic work, constrain and facilitate judgments of art. She finds that the aesthetic choices that contemporary visual artists make in their work are collectively created and evaluated within artistic communities as a way of community self-regulation beyond purely economic or market measures. She shows us how, in aggregate, creative visions are the basis for occupational communities in spaces where there is disagreement about what is considered a job well done. Wohl tells us that artists “are free to follow their muse, just so long as their muse does not direct them to produce vertical paintings or anything orange” (p42). Choices in this world are aesthetic, except when they are not. Creative visions are relational, clarified by other members of the art world, curators, dealers, buyers, and collectors, who hold their own creative visions. Wohl conducted two years of ethnographic work in New York City’s contemporary art world, a case selected due to the dominance of the New York art scene globally. Her fieldwork included numerous, repeated studio visits with artists, as well as exhibition installations, exhibition openings, art fairs, and VIP events and parties. Her 104 interviewees are members of these places throughout the art world and include artists, dealers, curators, private collectors, and art advisers. Additional data come from almost 400 Book Reviews

The book provides a rare combination of insightful theorization, rigorous empirical design, rich narratives, nuanced results, and practical policy implications. As such, it will remain a benchmark against which research on work, well-being, and organizational change will be judged in future years.

Work-family policies—such as parental leave and flextime—can help to facilitate gender equality in workplaces and in families. But policy use is typically low, varies significantly from one workplace to another, and is often more prevalent among women than men. Extant research suggests that flexibility stigma—workplace norms that penalize workers for utilizing policies that facilitate non-work demands—as well as the financial costs associated with policy use, contribute to this pattern. However, previous studies have been largely correlational in nature, and have had difficulty assessing how these factors may interact with one another to shape gendered patterns of policy use. In this study, we offer novel causal traction on this set of issues. Using an original, population-based survey experiment, we examine how the salience of flexibility stigma and financial costs affect men's and women's intentions to use work-family policies. We find that these factors exert a large direct effect on men's and women's intentions to use work-family policies. Moreover, the gender gap in parental leave use intentions is large in workplace contexts with high flexibility stigma and high financial costs, but this gap narrows significantly under more favorable conditions. Findings point to the importance of organizational contexts and policy design in shaping work-family policy use and, in turn, gender inequality.

We investigate how the institutional context of the public and private sectors regulates the association of workplace diversity policies and relational status positions with first- and second-generation immigrants’ wages. Using unique linked employer–employee data combining administrative and survey information of 6,139 employees in 120 German workplaces, we estimate workplace fixed-effects regressions. Workplace processes are institutionally contingent: diversity policies such as mixed teams reduce inequalities in the public sector, and diversity policies such as language courses reinforce existing inequalities in the private sector. In public sector workplaces where natives hold higher relational positions, immigrants’ wages are lower. This group-related dynamic is not detectable in the private sector.
