Week 9 - Critical Perspectives on Management and Organisations
An ideal worker & the professional identity
an ideal worker is one who is totally committed to and always available to fulfil his or her work duties
employees who embrace this is richly rewarded
TWO MAIN FORMS ; EXPECTED & EXPERIENCED
Expected- employer expectations and beliefs
Experienced - own expectations and beliefs
Structure of work
Performance evaluations
How do employees cope with conflicting
professional identities?
Congruence v conflict - If employee's professional identities are congruent they are unlikely to experience conflict
To cope with conflict professionals have two options, passing or revealing. Passing is intentional or accidental misrepresentation of membership in the favoured group. Revealing: Intentional or accidental disclosure of non-membership in the favoured group
Integrated identity management strategies for multiple audiences
Combining passing and revealing
Audience status
Pass to high-status while revealing to same-status audiences
Closeness of relationship
Pass to those distant while revealing to close friends (colleagues) and mentors
Perceived access to formal accommodations
Reveal if having access to formal accommodations (e.g. perental leave) and pass if not
Extremity of the conflict experienced
When faced with extreme circumstances in work (e.g. excessively demanding project) or personal life (e.g. death of a close family member) reveal while passing on all other circumstances
Consequences of using integrated identity management strategies for professionals
Gender differences
Women less likely to engage to identity management strategies that allows passing to high-status audiences and more likely to reveal
