Through qualitative research into the career experiences of two groups of Malawian professional women, this article reveals the value of expanding research into women’s careers to the global south. Although displaying elements of western-focused traditional and new career models, these women’s careers did not conform to either. Instead, due to heavy family responsibilities for both care and breadwinning, including for the extended family, and faced with inflexible human resource practices, their careers were mostly characterised by serial compromises necessary to maintain full-time continuous employment while dealing with life events and workplace setbacks. These accommodations to the realities of their complicated lives often resulted in second-best, far-from-ideal solutions. This career form, conceptualised here as a makeshift career, extends career models to fit the Malawian context and the global south but also expands conceptual understandings of women’s careers in ways also applicable to the north.
本文通过对两组马拉维职业女性职业经历的定性研究,揭示了将女性职业研究扩展到全球南方的价值。尽管展示了以西方为中心的传统和新职业模式的元素,但这些女性的职业并不符合其中任何一种。相反,由于沉重的家庭责任,包括照顾大家庭和养家糊口,以及面对不灵活的人力资源实践,她们的职业生涯大多以一系列必要的妥协为特征,以保持全职连续工作,同时处理生活事件和工作挫折。这些对他们复杂生活现实的适应往往导致了次优的、远非理想的解决方案。这种职业形式在这里被定义为一种临时职业,它扩展了职业模式,以适应马拉维和全球南方的背景,但也扩展了对女性职业的概念理解,这种理解也适用于北方。

This article investigates the challenges of navigating the adoption of remote and hybrid working for large organizations with diverse functions. Focus groups with employees of the UK business of a multinational organization identify conceptual contributions to the sociology of work and employment and empirical findings in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic that inform future policy and practice. Location-based flexible working has a potential unintended ‘ripple’ effect wherein application of individual-level flexibility has wider-reaching consequences throughout the organization. Findings emphasize that organizations need to recognize and respond to new realities of location-based flexibility. Management must navigate potential ‘ripples’ in the development of flexible working policies and practice, shaped by various tensions, including an overarching autonomy–control paradox. This requires a coordinated approach centred on ‘inclusive flexibility’ and ‘responsible autonomy’ that involves moving away from one-size-fits-all strategies towards a tailored approach offering employees choice, agency and voice in decision-making, while accommodating different stakeholder needs.
本文研究了为具有多种功能的大型组织采用远程和混合工作所面临的挑战。与跨国组织英国业务的员工进行的焦点小组确定了在2019冠状病毒病大流行背景下对工作和就业社会学的概念性贡献和实证研究结果,为未来的政策和实践提供信息。基于地点的灵活工作具有潜在的意想不到的“连锁反应”,其中个人层面灵活性的应用在整个组织中具有更广泛的影响。研究结果强调,组织需要认识到并应对基于位置的灵活性的新现实。管理层必须驾驭灵活工作政策和实践发展过程中潜在的“涟漪”,这是由各种紧张关系形成的,包括一个全面的自主控制悖论。这需要一种以“包容性灵活性”和“负责任的自主权”为中心的协调方法,包括从一刀切的战略转向量身定制的方法,为员工提供选择、代理和决策发言权,同时满足不同利益相关者的需求。

Managerial bias is a major source of workplace inequality and a central target of employer diversity efforts, yet we know little about the content of stereotypes and where they prevail. Stereotypes can be ambivalent, mixing negative and positive dimensions. Ambivalent stereotypes can rationalize discriminatory decision-making but they may also be more amenable to change. This article examines the prevalence of wholly negative and ambivalent age-based stereotypes across organizational contexts. Data on 551 managers reveals, first, that the modal manager holds ambivalent stereotypes about older workers, with positive perceptions of their personal attributes and negative perceptions regarding their employability. Second, both negative and ambivalent stereotypes are common in the presence of a labour union. Their prevalence declines, however, in different contexts: ambivalent stereotypes decline with increased intergroup contact and negative stereotypes decline when accountability triggers are implmented. Implications for research on work, organizations, older workers, and diversity management are discussed.
管理偏见是工作场所不平等的主要来源,也是雇主多元化努力的中心目标,但我们对刻板印象的内容以及它们普遍存在的地方知之甚少。刻板印象可能是矛盾的,混合了消极和积极的方面。矛盾的刻板印象可以使歧视性决策合理化,但它们也可能更容易改变。这篇文章考察了在组织环境中普遍存在的完全消极和矛盾的基于年龄的刻板印象。对551名管理者的数据显示,首先,模态管理者对年长员工持有矛盾的刻板印象,对他们的个人属性有积极的看法,对他们的就业能力有消极的看法。其次,在工会存在的情况下,消极和矛盾的刻板印象都很常见。然而,在不同的背景下,其患病率有所下降:矛盾刻板印象随着群体间接触的增加而下降,消极刻板印象随着问责触发器的实施而下降。讨论了对工作、组织、老年员工和多样性管理研究的影响。

Gender, Money, and Sexuality: An Exploration into the Relational Work of Pakistani Khwajasiras 性别、金钱与性:巴基斯坦花jasiras关系工作的探索

This study explores how khwajasiras, a community of gender-variant persons in Pakistan, engage in relational work to gain recognition in a heteronormative world. We highlight how these workers negotiate the meanings of their intimate relationships with different forms, frequencies, amounts, and payment media of financial exchanges. We have identified four such relations i.e. romantic relations, spousal relations, taboo relations, and professional relations. Our analysis shows how these relations and associated financial exchanges allow khwajasiras to navigate gender norms and negotiate recognition by alternatively and creatively playing the role of the khwajasira lover, the khwajasira wife, the khwajasira survival prostitute, and the khwajasira professional sex worker. In enacting these roles, they simultaneously reaffirm, redefine, and challenge dominant gender norms while resisting stable and fixed definitions of transgender sex work(ers). These findings unpack the contingent and situated relationship between gender, sexuality, and sex work and the critical role of financial exchange(s) therein.
这项研究探讨了巴基斯坦的性别差异群体khwajasiras如何在一个非规范的世界中从事关系工作以获得认可。我们强调了这些员工如何通过不同的金融交流形式、频率、金额和支付媒介来协商他们亲密关系的含义。我们已经确定了四种这样的关系,即浪漫关系、配偶关系、禁忌关系和职业关系。我们的分析表明,这些关系和相关的金融交流如何使赫瓦贾西拉能够通过交替和创造性地扮演赫瓦贾西拉的情人、妻子、生存妓女和职业性工作者的角色,来驾驭性别规范并协商承认。在制定这些角色时,他们同时重申、重新定义和挑战主流性别规范,同时抵制对变性性工作的稳定和固定定义。这些发现揭示了性别、性行为和性工作之间的偶然和情境关系,以及金融交换在其中的关键作用。

‘When the Daily Commute Stops’: A Long-Distance Commuter’s Reflections on Commuting and Telecommuting across the COVID-19 Pandemic “当每日通勤停止”:新冠肺炎大流行期间远程通勤者对通勤和远程办公的思考

This article foregrounds the working experience of a knowledge worker in the United Kingdom across three years (2019–2022) that included periods of ‘lockdown’ and other social restrictions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Across seven separate interview extracts, it offers a longitudinal narrative on the lived experience of substituting a workday comprising a long-distance commute by car to work ‘standard’ hours for an extended workday telecommuting from home. Over time the worker paradoxically recognises that telecommuting entails added pressures of work intensification, extensification and greater domestic responsibility but this is preferable to returning to a long-distance dissatisfying commute. The reflexive narrative reveals how he embraces the pressures of telecommuting through job crafting to re-identify as an autonomous professional and more engaged care-giving parent. The article contributes to the literature on hybrid/flexible forms of work organisation emerging from the pandemic by indicating the importance of micro-level considerations and implications for gender equality.
本文概述了一名知识工作者在英国三年(2019年至2022年)的工作经历,其中包括新冠肺炎大流行导致的“封锁”和其他社会限制。在七个独立的采访摘录中,它提供了一个关于生活体验的纵向叙述,用一个长时间的在家远程办公取代了一个工作日,这个工作日包括开车长途通勤到工作的“标准”时间。随着时间的推移,工人们矛盾地认识到,远程办公带来了工作强化、工作扩展和更大的家庭责任的额外压力,但这比回到不满意的长途通勤要好。这种反射性的叙述揭示了他是如何通过工作制定来接受远程办公的压力,从而重新认同自己是一个自主的专业人士和更积极的照顾父母。这篇文章通过指出微观层面考虑的重要性和对性别平等的影响,为新冠疫情后出现的混合/灵活工作组织形式的文献做出了贡献。

The Role of Boundary-Spanners in the Control of a Chinese Garment Factory in Myanmar 边界扳手在中国驻缅甸服装厂控制中的作用

This research examines the role of intraorganisational boundary-spanners, as mechanisms of workplace control, through an ethnographic study of a Chinese-run garment factory in Myanmar. The findings demonstrate how these intermediaries, rather than facilitating open communication, exerted a restraining influence on their cross-cultural workplace by identifying, dissolving and suppressing the expression of grievances. Wielding relationship-based informal power and position-based formal power, these intermediaries employed various means of persuasion and communication manipulation and disciplinary measures to contain dissatisfaction and maintain stability, whereby workers were directed to abandon their demands and align their expectations with management interests. Merging the literature on labour and management control with that on boundary-spanning in cross-cultural contexts, this article challenges the view that boundary-spanners enhance communication and promote consensus across boundaries, spotlighting the need to examine their activities in light of the profound influence of power dynamics in organisations.
本研究通过对缅甸一家中国人经营的服装厂的民族志研究,考察了组织内部边界跨越者作为工作场所控制机制的作用。研究结果表明,这些中介不是促进开放的沟通,而是通过识别、化解和压制不满的表达,对他们的跨文化工作场所产生了抑制作用。这些中介机构运用以关系为基础的非正式权力和以职位为基础的正式权力,采用各种说服、沟通操纵和纪律措施来遏制不满和维持稳定,从而引导工人放弃自己的要求,使他们的期望与管理层的利益保持一致。本文将劳动和管理控制方面的文献与跨文化背景下的跨界文献相结合,挑战了跨界者加强沟通和促进跨界共识的观点,强调了根据组织中权力动态的深刻影响来检查其活动的必要性。

Little is known about how the use of ride-hail apps (e.g. Uber, Lyft) affects drivers’ propensity to engage in risky behaviours. Drawing on labour process theory, this study examines how algorithmic control of ride-hail drivers encourages risky driving (i.e. violating road safety rules, carrying weapons). Furthermore, the theory of work precarity is used to explain why multiple jobholders (MJHers), who work for ride-hail companies, drive taxis and hold other jobs, may be more likely to take risks while driving due to income insecurity and erratic work hours. The hypotheses are tested in a sample ( N = 191) of ride-hail drivers, taxi drivers and MJHers. The results suggest that MJHers are more likely to engage in risky driving in comparison to ride-hail and taxi drivers. Theoretical, practical and policy implications are discussed.
人们对打车应用程序(如优步、Lyft)的使用如何影响司机从事危险行为的倾向知之甚少。根据劳动过程理论,本研究考察了打车司机的算法控制如何鼓励危险驾驶(即违反道路安全规则、携带武器)。此外,工作不稳定理论被用来解释为什么在打车公司工作、驾驶出租车和从事其他工作的多个工作人员(MJHers)可能更容易在驾驶时因收入不安全和工作时间不稳定而承担风险。这些假设在打车司机、出租车司机和MJHers的样本(N=191)中进行了测试。结果表明,与打车和出租车司机相比,MJHers更有可能从事危险驾驶。讨论了理论、实践和政策含义。

‘Money Probably Has Something to Do with My Life’: Discourse and Materiality in the Working Lives of Start-Up Entrepreneurs “金钱可能与我的生活有关”:创业企业家工作生活中的话语与物质性

This article contributes to an understanding of work-intensive entrepreneurial lives as part of analysing the intensification of work in society. It offers an empirical extension of Foucauldian analyses, which attribute commitment to work to the influence of neoliberal enterprise discourse while often neglecting the material conditions of entrepreneurial work. The article draws on moderate constructionism and materialist discourse analysis to offer an account that pays attention to discourse and material realities. This ethnographic study shows how participants evoked norms of enterprise discourse to explain their commitment to work. However, they also understood these norms to be fundamentally shaped by their material conditions. The major contribution of the article is to show that the interpenetration of discursive norms with the investment logic of enterprise tends to displace boundaries between work and personal life and shift temporal arrangements of work from work–life ‘balance’ to prospects of free time in the imagined future.
这篇文章有助于理解工作密集型企业家的生活,作为分析社会工作强化的一部分。它提供了福柯式分析的经验延伸,福柯式分析将工作承诺归因于新自由主义企业话语的影响,而往往忽略了创业工作的物质条件。本文借鉴了适度建构主义和唯物主义话语分析的观点,提出了一种关注话语和物质现实的解释。这项民族志研究显示了参与者如何唤起企业话语规范来解释他们对工作的承诺。然而,他们也明白,这些规范从根本上是由他们的物质条件决定的。本文的主要贡献在于表明,话语规范与企业投资逻辑的相互渗透往往会取代工作与个人生活之间的界限,并将工作的时间安排从工作与生活的“平衡”转移到想象中的未来自由时间的前景。

The major contribution of the article is to show that the interpenetration of discursive norms with the investment logic of enterprise tends to displace boundaries between work and personal life and shift temporal arrangements of work from work–life ‘balance’ to prospects of free time in the imagined future.","PeriodicalId":48187,"journal":{"name":"Work Employment and Society","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2023-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45409567","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

‘Bullshit’ After All? Why People Consider Their Jobs Socially Useless “胡说八道”?为什么人们认为他们的工作在社会上毫无用处

Recent studies show that many workers consider their jobs socially useless. Thus, several explanations for this phenomenon have been proposed. David Graeber’s ‘bullshit jobs theory’, for example, claims that some jobs are in fact objectively useless, and that these are found more often in certain occupations than in others. Quantitative research on Europe, however, finds little support for Graeber’s theory and claims that alienation may be better suited to explain why people consider their jobs socially useless. This study extends previous analyses by drawing on a rich, under-utilized dataset and provides new evidence for the United States specifically. Contrary to previous studies, it thus finds robust support for Graeber’s theory on bullshit jobs. At the same time, it also confirms existing evidence on the effects of various other factors, including alienation. Work perceived as socially useless is therefore a multifaceted issue that must be addressed from different angles.
最近的研究表明,许多工人认为他们的工作对社会毫无用处。因此,对这一现象提出了几种解释。例如,大卫·格雷伯(David Graeber)的“扯淡工作理论”(bullshit jobs theory)声称,有些工作实际上在客观上是无用的,而且在某些职业中比在其他职业中更常见。然而,对欧洲的定量研究发现,很少有人支持格雷伯的理论,并声称异化可能更适合解释为什么人们认为自己的工作在社会上毫无用处。本研究通过利用丰富的、未充分利用的数据集扩展了以前的分析,并为美国提供了新的证据。因此,与之前的研究相反,它为格雷伯关于胡扯工作的理论提供了强有力的支持。同时,它也证实了包括异化在内的各种其他因素影响的现有证据。因此,被认为对社会无用的工作是一个多方面的问题,必须从不同的角度来解决。
