摘要

虽然学者们调查了监狱工作人员如何通过性别表现来理解和应对职业风险,但大多数研究都集中在担任安全角色的工作人员身上,他们的组织文化重视以坚韧和坚忍等特征为前提的男子气概。学术界较少关注的是,非安全角色的监狱工作人员是如何通过性别化的印象管理来理解和驾驭风险的,他们履行的职责主要是利用人际交往技能和帮助他人——这些特征通常与女性主导的帮助职业有关。目前的研究探讨了这样一个问题,即在加拿大联邦监狱工作的机构假释官是如何根据他们对工作场所风险的看法以及他们支持囚犯康复的职业承诺(通常是个人承诺)来表现性别的。我们使用Goffman(1959)的印象管理理论来组织和分析我们的研究结果,以证明IPO在试图支持囚犯和减轻监狱工作场所的感知风险时,对自我进行了性别化的展示,流畅地融合了男性和女性的方面。然而,我们也认为,女性IPO比男性IPO更容易感受到工作场所的脆弱性,因此表现出更多的印象管理工作。因此,我们的分析通过将性别表现置于监狱工作场所经历的职业风险中,加深了关于非安全监狱工作人员自我性别表现的有限文献。

Gender, risk, and presentation of self in “caring” prison work: Insights from institutional parole officers in Canada

While scholars have investigated how prison workers understand and navigate occupational risks through performances of gender, most studies have focused on staff in security roles whose organizational cultures value displays of masculinities premised on characteristics such as toughness and stoicism. Less scholarly attention has considered how prison staff in nonsecurity roles, who perform duties oriented toward using interpersonal skills and helping others—characteristics that are commonly associated with female-dominated helping professions—understand and navigate risk through gendered forms of impression management. The current study explores the question of how one such occupational group, institutional parole officers (IPOs) working in Canadian federal prisons, performs gender in response to both their perceptions of workplace risk and their occupational, and often personal, commitment to supporting the rehabilitation of prisoners. We organize and analyze our findings using Goffman's (1959) theory of impression management to demonstrate that IPOs, as they attempt to both support prisoners and mitigate the perceived risks of a prison workplace, perform gendered presentations of self that fluidly incorporate aspects of masculinities and femininities. However, we also argue that female IPOs experience greater feelings of workplace vulnerabilities and, thus, perform more impression management labor than their male counterparts. Our analysis thus deepens the limited literature on gendered presentations of self among nonsecurity prison workers by situating gender performances within the occupational risks experienced in the prison workplace.
