Who is an ideal worker?
Therefore, an ‘ideal worker’ is one who is totally
committed to and always available to fulfil his or
her work duties
What is professional identity
Two main forms of professional identities:
– Expected: employer expectations and beliefs
– Experienced: own expectations and beliefs
Organisational mechanisms of identity control Structure of work
Performance evaluations
If an employee’s expected and experienced
professional identities are in sync and congruent
they are unlikely to experience conflict
How do professionals cope with conflict?
Professionals cope with conflicting identities
by ‘straying’ from the expected identity (i.e.
ideal worker image)
Spillover of perceptions across audiences
Tools for straying
altering structure of work
seek assistance in restructuring work
hide/share personal information
Combining passing and revealing
Gender differences
External perceptions and performance evaluation
Congruence vs. conflict
