摘要:This study examines how people change their relationship with work through the adoption and enactment of a new work ideal: a novel aspiration for what constitutes an optimal work life. Drawing on two years of ethnographic observation of the Financial Independence Retire Early (FIRE) community, two rounds of interviews with 55 informants, and analysis of archival materials, I identify four community tactics that informants used to promote a new work optional ideal rooted in financial freedom. I...

摘要:Peer influence is crucial in shaping work practices within organizations, yet the impact of formal organizational structures on this influence remains underexplored. We argue that task structures, which capture how tasks are allocated and configured within organizations, significantly affect peer interactions and influence. Specifically, we examine how two features of task structures-task variety and task similarity with peers-moderate peer influence in a highly consequential setting: physicia...

摘要:How does the process of identity formation unfold in emerging occupations? While extant research has focused primarily on occupational identity formation through differentiation from other occupational groups, we theorize identity formation in occupations that emerge in unsaturated spaces, where competitive dynamics are less salient. We address this question through a qualitative historical analysis of American astronauts at the inception of space exploration (1958-1974). Our work theorizes la...

摘要:Many organizations want to increase diversity among their workforce, but employees from marginalized groups consistently face uncertainty about how to navigate their identities at work, which can lead to high turnover among these employees. To highlight the unexpected ways in which such risks can arise for employees and organizations, we investigate the intrapersonal consequences of a curation approach to navigating social identities in the workplace. Curation involves frequent identity expres...

摘要:Despite scholars' increasing acknowledgment of the role third parties can play in others' trust decisions, we know very little about what motivates these parties' information sharing. Our research examines this process via a qualitative, inductive study of linemen: the men and women who work on power lines. We show how features of their work context give rise to a strong reliance on third-party information for trust and strong accountability for third parties who share reputational information...
