▼ Companies need to respond to the changing wants of
their employees in order to attract and maintain top talent. In
order to do this, understanding what people value in the
work
setting is of utmost importance, which is why
work values have
become a popular topic in recent years. Studying the factors that
influence
work values helps in gaining deeper insights into
employee well-being. It is also valuable to track
work values over
time in order to identify changing trends. A quantitative research
methodology was followed using secondary data from the World Values
Survey (WVS). A multinomial logistic regression identified four key
predictors of
work values, namely: people’s relationship status;
the number of children that they have; their social class; and
their gender. The interaction of these variables was found to cause
people’s
work values to shift between extrinsic and intrinsic
values. People who place a bigger emphasis on intrinsic values were
found to be much happier, not just at
work but with their lives in
general. The findings have been consolidated into a comprehensive
model that explains the effect that life factors and gender have on
work values and the subsequent impact that
work values have on
overall life satisfaction. Organisations can build on this model to
identify, grow and retain a satisfied workforce, which is a good
fit for organisational/team values and takes into account issues of
work-life balance which are typically difficult for managers to
accommodate cost-effectively.

Fatherhood at Work and at Home: An analysis of men's joint

▼ Men's experiences at home and at
work are changing,
bringing to light new ways in which fathers identify with these two
realms. This research expands upon current understandings of
paternal
identity by analyzing the potential for overlap and
reinforcement between men's attachments to
work and parenting. In
this analysis, non-hierarchical, independent measures of
work and
parenting identities are constructed from a recently surveyed
sample of 726 "New fathers" – professional, high-earning white men
with children under 18, a group arguably marked by the desire to be
more involved in home life, yet also faced with high
work demands.
In order to determine the differences between men that report
identifying strongly with both
work and parenting from those that
do not, I use multinomial logistic regression to capture the
association between demographic traits, time spent in both roles,
support from others, perceptions of enrichment and the odds of
identifying strongly with either
work and family, neither, or both.
The results demonstrate that time spent in a role, support from
coworkers and managers, and higher reports of enrichment between
the spheres are all associated with a respondent's odds of
reporting dually strong attachments to
work and parenting. The
findings yield both theoretical contributions and practical
implications, providing 1) new understandings of how some fathers
experience synergistic parenting and
work identifications, 2)
evidence that fathers' perceptions of workplace support and
positive overlap between their roles are associated with reports of
higher identification with both, and 3) directions for future
research that address how institutional practices in the workplace
relate to fathers' reports of dually strong role
identifications.

▼ This thesis looks at the sensemaking practices of actors involved in the extralegal economy, focusing on their interactions with co-workers and customers, and the sense of order that emerges from successful interactions performed under authentic and appropriate identities. The data come from multiyear multisite ethnographic research in the United States and Europe, with subjects that include drug entrepreneurs, sexworkers, and members and associates of Mafia groups. I categorize these actors’ extralegal economy roles as forms of labor that, while illicit, nonetheless impose context on the individuals’ immediate
identity and its presentation, in much the same way as if the labor were legal. In each of the cases I analyze ways in which they balance aspects of ‘
work identity’ and ‘nonwork identity’, demonstrating throughout that these variations should not be viewed as distinct from or hostile to one another. I find that the individuals in this study practice a constant backstage balancing of
identity that is acutely responsive to context and to the identities being performed by other parties to any immediate interaction, all of whom are simultaneously pursuing their own social and professional approval and success.

The role of identity and self-reflection in museum selfies : netnographic insights from Instagram.

▼ Art museum provides excellent stage for
identity work. Art can be mediation to reflect people’s identities. It is an expression of our thoughts, emotions, intuitions, and desires, and it’s about sharing the way we experience the world, which for many is an extension of personality. Taking selfies at museums where great artworks are displayed can be a way to integrate ourselves to the meaning of that artworks. Furthermore, online social media, where
identity work emerges frequently, provides proper circumstances for visual communication. In this respect, our investigation seeks to contribute to a holistic, contextualized and cultural perspective of museum selfie phenomenon by integrating the meaning of art, location-based technology on social media, and online
identity work. The findings of this paper provide two emerging themes; spatial self and transcendence emotion. The “Spatial-self” theme describes three types of Instagram posts that present users’ locations by how they used geo-tagging, @, and hashtags. The author introduced a sub-theme of “Museum itself matters” as well. The “Spatial self” reveals the importance of museum spaces and in this theme, the author further analyzes the posts’ meanings. As for the theme of “Transcendent emotion”, the author extends the analysis to explore how people appreciate artworks and then reflect the transcendent emotions that result in
identity presentation by creating 6 sub-themes; “Artwork and artist as a mediation to express identity”, “Usage of Quotes”, “Expressing life purposes and dreams”, “Back to the past”, “Selfies as artwork” and “Imitation”. The interpretations and implications of these findings are discussed

▼ In organisation studies there has been an increasing interest in ‘
identity work’ – that is, the processes through which people’s identities become constructed. The role that others play, along with the self, in
identity work has, with varying degrees of emphasis, been a recurrent theme both in the contemporary literature and in its classical antecedents. Extant research leaves scope for further investigation of how others are present within
identity working processes and this thesis is primarily concerned with the elaboration and understanding of the centrality of others to the working of identities.
An interest in this area stemmed from my professional occupation and its context in a performing arts organisation. My observation of the constructions of the identities of my colleagues and myself was forming prior to my engagement in a formal research role. I adopted an interpretivist perspective, an ethnographic and autoethnographic method and an abductive analytical approach. The data collection was achieved through: field note collection; autoethnographic reflection; semi structured and interactive interviewing; and a reflexive diary.
The thesis seeks to augment the
identity work literature by applying and elaborating previously under-used theories, in particular, reflexive imagination in Cooley’s ‘Looking Glass Self’ (1902/1983) and ‘social ghosts’ (Gergen, 2001). These ideas are synthesised to produce an understanding of the significance of others to
identity working and the processes through which they impact on
identity construction.
A detailed explication of the qualities of social ghosts and the ways in which actors use them in interaction (
identity work moves) leads to more profound understandings of how people
work identities in relation to others. This reveals that
identity emerges in an interactive process that is other-multiple, tentative and reactive, and which is underpinned by imagining the self in relation to others.

▼ This dissertation aims to examine domestic work—a low paid service industry that has been neglected in the organizational communication literature. It answers the call to focus on and study actual
work practices rather than abstract representations of
work. Utilizing organizational communication theories as well as intersectionality as my theoretical lenses, I sought to understand how Mexican immigrant and transnational domestic workers construct and negotiate their occupational
identity on the Texas-Mexico border. Using ethnography as method, I conducted 13 semi-structured and in-depth interviews of Mexican immigrant and transnational border crossing women employed as current domestic workers. Additionally, I conducted fieldwork at the local downtown city bus station and at several local city bus stops since domestic workers utilize the local bus system as their primary means of transportation. Sixteen additional Mexican immigrant and transnational border crossing domestic workers participated in “on the go” interviews as they traveled to and from
work. In total, 29 current domestic workers participated in this study.
Using a grounded theory approach of analysis, two thematic categories were meaningful and representative of the data: domestic workers enact job protection practices and domestic workers find meaning in their occupation as they mediate through particular occupational constraints. Domestic workers construct and negotiate their occupational
identity by re-shifting the meaning of
work to recognize a sense of ownership and pride in the
work they accomplish and by being vigilant of their environment as they seek ways to protect their occupation. They do not detach themselves from the stigmatized
work. Rather, they are mindful of their seemingly strained occupational
identity and enact new meanings of
work that align with their lived experiences of pride, dignity, protection, and vigilance. Even though the challenges and strategies are difficult to navigate and accomplish, their purpose does not waver. Domestic workers are mindful of a promising future and more importantly they have a tenacious responsibility to their families.

▼ In this two-essay qualitative dissertation, I develop theory around two key questions: 1) How do individuals construct
work identities in ambiguous, ill-defined, or fluid
work contexts, when such contexts offer few resources to help individuals define themselves? And 2) how do authority figures—leaders, managers, professionals—gain legitimacy in the absence of standard legitimating factors, e.g., a proven track record of positive results, subordinate dependence, institutional authorization, or a legitimating ideology? Using a grounded theory methodology, I explore these questions in the context of health coaching, a new, aspiring profession whose members face these very challenges in constructing an individual sense of occupational
identity and legitimacy. In the first essay, I develop a conceptual model of
identity work in the context of such an
identity resource “void.” The model suggests relationships between three individual-level stages of
identity development,
identity challenges,
identity work tactics, and a key
identity-related outcome (i.e.,
identity clarity). In the second essay, I develop a theoretical model that speaks to how authority figures can gain internal and external legitimacy when they lack demonstrable evidence of their effectiveness and other markers of legitimacy. In each essay, I discuss implications for both research and practice

▼ In the present study, the relationship between work identity (emotion and cognition components) and work-related stress was investigated, and if work-life balance (WLB) and its components family-work conflict (FWC) and work-family conflict (WFC), might mediate this relationship. The study included 104 participants recruited via Facebook. The results showed: (1) Positive relationship between the cognitive component in the work-related identity and work-related stress; and (2) Negative relationship between the emotional component of the work-related identity and work-related stress. WLB was also shown to mediate the relation between the cognitive component in the work-related identity and work-related stress, accounted for by the WFC-component of WLB.

▼ This study examines how some Indian women in South
Africa who became managers negotiated their identities in their
early lives and in their adult working lives on their journeys to
becoming successful managers. Prior studies on
identity work and
the experience of intersectionality by ethnic minority women have
typically focused on professional identities in isolation, separate
from early life influences. The current study uses a life story
approach to provide a holistic understanding of the journeys of the
first significant cohort of Indian women to ascend to management
positions in South Africa. I explored the narratives of 13 Indian
women managers in senior and top management positions in corporate
South Africa using a grounded theory approach to make visible the
identity work they have engaged in throughout their lives so far.
The life stories of the participants reveal that throughout their
lives they have grappled with negotiating a gender
identity shaped
by Indian cultural assumptions about the roles of men and women in
juxtaposition to or in combination with their personal aspirations
for professional success. I used a bird cage metaphor to capture
how these multiple factors shaped and constrained their lives and
careers. The interplay between their racio-ethnic, gender and
professional identities is unpacked, and their strategies for
reconciling the tensions among their multiple identities are
described. In negotiating their identities, these women have
developed a particular type of hybrid
identity that allows them to
move between the compartments into which their professional
identity demands and cultural expectations have been divided. The
women’s cultural identities remain pivotal in their lives, and they
have strong collectivist identities, as they still live within
their communities even after the official end of apartheid. My
findings enrich and extend the
identity literature relating to
ethnic minority women by focusing on
identity negotiation over
time, rather than only on discrete moments in time. My findings
also contribute to
identity literature in general, as they
illustrate that an individual’s
identity is formed not only by
personal and social identities, but also by the historical and
cultural context beyond the organisation within which the person
operates. This context is often not considered in
identity research
in organisations – most studies relating to
identity work focus on
the tensions between personal identities and professional
identities in the workplace. It also reinforces the idea that
identity is never fixed but always in negotiation.

▼ This study examines how some Indian women in South Africa
who became managers negotiated their identities in their early
lives and in their adult working lives on their journeys to
becoming successful managers. Prior studies on
identity work and
the experience of intersectionality by ethnic minority women have
typically focused on professional identities in isolation, separate
from early life influences. The current study uses a life story
approach to provide a holistic understanding of the journeys of the
first significant cohort of Indian women to ascend to management
positions in South Africa. I explored the narratives of 13 Indian
women managers in senior and top management positions in corporate
South Africa using a grounded theory approach to make visible the
identity work they have engaged in throughout their lives so far.
The life stories of the participants reveal that throughout their
lives they have grappled with negotiating a gender

▼ This dissertation studies the
identity work patterns undertaken by internationally educated professionals in situations of downward occupational transition to a tainted occupation. Previous literature has addressed
identity work in situations of upward occupational transition and in enduring dirty
work occupations, however, the situations of downward movement or of adoption of a tainted occupation have not yet been addressed. Internationally trained professionals who are working as taxi drivers in the Greater Toronto Area were selected as the ideal extreme case with which to carry out this investigation due to the heightened visibility of the contrast between being a university educated professional and driving a taxi.
A qualitative research methodology was employed in which semi-structured interviews were conducted and analyzed. Findings indicated that internationally educated professionals face the
identity pressures of Unmet Expectations, Prestige-Based Identification and Perception of Occupational Stigma. The aggregate of these pressures caused them to perceive their
identity as being threatened, which in turn prompted them to engage in
identity work through the protective tactics of Distancing, Ephemeralizing and Image Management and the restructuring tactic of Shifting.
Thus, the situation of downward occupational transition and entrance to dirty
work was found to lead to some
identity work responses that were different from those found in previous studies on upward transitions or enduring membership in a tainted occupation. This finding contributes to theory by demonstrating the importance of thoroughly understanding the
identity pressures and hence, the specific context in place when discussing
identity work patterns.
A surprising finding of this study is that individuals did not demonstrate a strong identification with the enactment of their original profession, but they did identify with its prestige. Therefore, this study contributes to current literature by suggesting the need to expand our understanding of occupational identification to include traits that are not necessarily linked to the enactment of an occupation.
Finally, this study contributes to the literature on internationally educated professionals in the workforce, by presenting an in-depth account of the intrapsychic mechanisms by which they navigate the challenges encountered in their host countries. Limitations and implications for theory and practice are also discussed.

▼ The recent surge in media footage surrounding police killings of unarmed black men clearly signifies the national concern for police violence, yet researchers have yet to study police identity in connection with such publicized inequality. This qualitative study closes this gap in research by addressing the following questions: “How do patrolling officers think about and experience their jobs at this particular historical juncture of increased internet and media exposure?” and, “How does the mass exposure and scrutiny of police violence shape police perceptions of their work and impact their work identity?” Face to face semi-structured interviews, symbolic interactionism, and interpretive research methods were used to uncover how eighteen current Bay Area patrolling officers come to perceive their collective identity as threatened and the four strategies they use to cope. First, some officers strengthen their collective identity by isolating themselves from civilians and spending more time on and off-duty strengthening their bonds with fellow likeminded officers. Secondly, a number of officers separate their collective and individual identities by concealing their occupational identities when off-duty. Thirdly, some officers deliberate over the choice of remaining in the occupation, and lastly, officers work towards preserving their collective identity by avoiding “negative” media and by using a bad apple narrative that distances the “few bad police officers” from the larger group of heroes. These four coping strategies, in turn, hold great potential in negatively impacting police-civilian relationships.

▼ Are we working to live or living to work? The interface between work and personal life is often viewed as a source of irreconcilable conflict and the predominant worklife metaphors of 'balance' and 'conflict' reinforce this view. Much research in this area assumes that time and resource allocation is at the heart of managing the worklife interface; faced with the work-life conundrum‘, many employers respond by implementing time and resource-focused initiatives such as flexible working hours and access to special leave provisions. Increasingly, organisations are devoting significant resources to establishing and promoting effective work-life balance policies. But are these responses based on valid assumptions that accurately reflect employees‘ perceptions of the work-life interface? Anecdotal evidence suggests that, despite the many and varied work-life strategies being implemented in organisations, increasing numbers of employees are engaging with support services outside the workplace to help them manage the intersection between paid employment and family commitments. Many of those seeking support from organisations such as Relationships Australia are male, blue-collar employees in large organisations who have access to, but apparently find unsuitable, the proffered time and resource oriented work-life initiatives. There appears then to be a 'disconnect' between employers‘ work-life initiatives and employees‘ experiences and perceptions of the work-life interface.

▼ Clothing, one of the most visible forms of consumption, performs a major role in the process of
identity construction and in many ways acts as a filter between our private and social worlds (Bourdieu, 1994; Crane, 2000; Crane and Bovone, 2006). Since all cultures dress the body in some form, through avenues such as clothing and tattooing, dress stands as a basic fact of social life (Entwistle, 2001). For Black Americans, self presentation and the dressing of the body has remained an important aspect of the Black experience and the performance of
identity (Miller, 2009; Peiss, 1998; Walker, 2007). In the Black community self styling takes on a number of forms with certain types of dress communicating ideas of self respect, community pride, and cultural appreciation (Miller, 2009, White and White, 1998). In this study, I analyze how Black middle class women use clothing as a way to communicate ideas of class legitimacy, professionalism, and morality. In particular, I examine how clothing items, through a process of “threaded bougieness” are used by these women in order to create boundaries, shape identities, and garner respect in three areas of public life: during church services, in the workplace, and while attending college. This study suggests that a “threaded bougieness” is one such resource in the Black middle class toolkit (Lacy, 2007; Swindler, 1986) that Black women draw upon in order to lessen the occurrence of discrimination, erect class boundaries, and negotiate facets of their identities. This research informs theoretical debates on the consumption practices of Black Americans (Patillo-McCoy, 2000; Lamont and Molnar, 2001) and emerging literature on the divergent lifestyle preferences that exist between the Black middle and working classes, respectively (Lacy, 2007; Patillo-McCoy, 2000; Patillo, 2008).

▼ Ma thèse porte sur la métamorphose du travail à domicile en travail à distance. Au-delà du statut classique du salariat à domicile, le travail à distance s’actualise en effet désormais dans des statuts institutionnels, des lieux et des temporalités variés. En l’occurrence, l’analyse est centrée sur la comparaison de trois groupes professionnels : des graphistes freelance, des journalistes-pigistes et des secrétaires indépendantes. Partageant le fait d’exercer leur activité hors d’un collectif de travail, ces professionnels cherchent, chacun à leur manière, à construire et défendre un cadre spatio-temporel de travail singulier.L’enquête repose sur une série de 54 entretiens par récits de vie réalisés, dans leur majorité, au domicile des enquêtés. Elle se déploie sur trois niveaux qui se superposent. Dans un premier temps, il s’agit de souligner quelles sont les ressources et les stratégies dont disposent ces professionnels pour se maintenir sur le marché et dans quelle mesure le rapport de non-subordination physique à l’employeur pose la question de l’autonomie dans la réalisation du travail. Dans cette optique, mon enquête entre en écho avec les débats actuels sur cette « zone grise » (Supiot, 2000) qui se situe à la frontière entre le salariat et l’indépendance, et sur les formes d’hybridation qui en découlent. Dans le deuxième temps de cette thèse, il s’agit de définir la nature et de tracer les limites du cadre spatio-temporel dans lequel le travail à distance se déploie hors du cadre idéal-typique de l’organisation. Cette exploration des configurations du chez-soi de travail pose plus fondamentalement la question des effets que la distance produit sur l’identité même du travailleur. Le dernier temps de la démonstration s’attache ainsi à analyser le travail à distance non seulement comme une forme de travail atypique, mais comme une façon singulière de s’inscrire dans le monde social et d’articuler son engagement dans le travail au regard d’autres sphères d’engagement (familial, domestique, amical, personnel). Mon enquête montre que les registres de justification et les valeurs que mobilisent les individus pour définir une identité pour eux-mêmes et pour autrui sont socialement distribués.
This thesis focuses on the transformations of « home working » into « distance working ». Indeed, if homeworking has for a long time concerned only salaried workers, henceforth working at distance refers to different status of employment, workplaces and work schedules. My analysis relies on the comparison of three different types of professionals : freelance graphic designers, freelance journalists and self-employed secretaries. All of them work out of the institutional organization and try to define spatial and temporal limits for the process of work. The investigation analyses a compilation of 54 biographies based on interviews with workers carried out directly at their home. The demonstration is organized in three parts. First, it focuses on how professionnals manage to take a stand on the market and how it could be…

▼ This thesis is based upon empirical data from a quantitative survey among 420 Swedish lottery winners and from qualitative interviews with fourteen individual lottery winners. By examining how winners of large lottery prizes manage and experience their situation after winning, this thesis illustrates how sudden wealth affects people‟s behaviours and sense of self. The choices that lottery winners make in this situation can be understood as a reflection of how people prioritize and value different aspects of life: work, leisure, consumption, economic security etc. A special focus has been on the lottery winners‟ work commitment after the windfall, contributing to the previous knowledge on work attitudes and of people‟s appreciation of internal versus external rewards from work.
The thesis consists of five papers that employ different research questions and thus illuminate the main issue of post-winning life from various theoretical vantage points. Paper I presents a basic account of how people relate to paid work after a lottery win. It also gives some indication of which groups of workers are more inclined than others to reduce the time they spend on work. Paper II explores this issue further, exploring the hypothesis that respondents who perceive difficulties in balancing their work and family life would be especially apt to devote less time to work. In paper III, finally, I investigate the relationship between lottery winners‟ socio-economic status and working conditions, on the one hand, and their commitment to work, on the other hand.
Results from these three studies establish that only a minority of the lottery winners have spent less time at work since the windfall. Compared with winners of relatively lower prizes, however, winners of larger lottery prizes showed significantly higher incidence of having shortened their working hours or having taken periods of unpaid leave after the windfall. In addition to this finding, the different analyses showed that women, winners without children still living at home, blue-collar workers and workers who do not perceive that they have “good” colleagues, were more inclined to work shorter hours than winners of the respective reference groups. Considering the option to take periods of leave, it
was instead the winners living without a partner and winners who perceived that their work place did not offer much opportunity for further training that were especially singled out. Older lottery winners, winners who felt that their jobs were physically strenuous, and winners who did not perceive that they could control their working hours, were, finally, more likely to cease work entirely.
Papers IV and V, finally, illustrate how lottery winners conceive of the money that they have won as a “special” kind of money. Both papers address issues of how the prize money should be managed, notions governed by norms about consumption and saving. By managing the money properly, the lottery winners avoid the many risks associated with the win and can instead enjoy the feelings of freedom and…

Exploring the Relationship Between Place Identity and Personalization of Space in Temporary Student Housing.

▼ The purpose of this study is to better understand the relationship between the personalization of one’s physical environment and the degree of place
identity the person has toward their space, specifically those living in temporary student housing. There have been several studies on peoples’ inherent need to personalize their space. While previous research has identified key factors that help to define place
identity in general, this study addresses the fact that not much has been said about how people in temporary housing, specifically student housing, actually go about creating their living spaces.
The key issues this research addressed were the degree of place
identity achieved by those living in temporary student housing, the manner in which they went about personalizing their spaces, and the relationship between the two. Also, because this is a study of the primary residence or home of the participants, special attention was given to the concept of home.
Undergraduate students living in student housing on a university campus were recruited to complete a questionnaire and participate in an interview. The purpose of this research technique was to better understand each person’s attitude toward their space and the factors involved in the way they personalized their space. The researcher also conducted a visual analysis of each space to determine the level and type of personalization.
Eight methods (or factors) of personalizing space were compared to the three dimensions of place
identity. Significant positive correlations emerged between the place-self congruity dimension of place
identity and the personalization of space factors of traditional decoration, decorative complexity, and decoration to create image, therefore showing there is a possible link between gaining a sense of place
identity and the level and type of personalization of space displayed in a temporary student housing setting. The study also found that the definition of home is dependent on the context and can have various meaning for the same person.

▼ ABSTRACT
Society is and has always been composed of people of different levels and types of ability. Today, due to legislation and changing attitudes toward disability, the presence of individuals with disabilities is more evident than in decades past. Although their numbers are still considerably lower relative to those of persons without disability, people with disabilities are a part of the American workforce. Like their nondisabled colleagues, they have families, friends, and leisure interests. To date, there has been a paucity of research about the
work-life balance of employed people with disabilities. Understanding the
work-life needs of these individuals is vital given that the American workforce is aging and the first cohort of jobseekers who have only known life under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) are entering the labor market.
This project was an investigation of the lived experiences of eight men and women with observable mobility impairments who were employed in integrated settings. Through individual interviews and brief worksite visits, I sought to understand the significance of leisure and
work in the lives of the participants. Further, I sought to understand how the presence of disability influenced their
work and leisure lives, and what beliefs, strategies, and relationships contributed to their quality of life and sense of
work-life balance.
The primary theoretical framework for this study was
work/family border theory. This theory emphasizes the challenges of moving between the
work and non-
work domains of one???s life and the role of relationships and identities in influencing the ease with which this might be done. Additionally, I utilized the theoretical perspectives of social constructionism and symbolic interactionism to consider the complexities of the disability experience. By engaging in interpretative phenomenological analysis, I was able to consider both the individual and collective experiences of participants in interpreting the data.
Five major themes emerged from the data; these centered on the importance of
identity,
work, leisure, relationships, and self-care. Although disability affected all areas of their lives, participants viewed disability as a single attribute or feature; the presence of disability did not define who they were. They spoke of being similar to their nondisabled colleagues and friends, yet spoke of ways in which they were different from others, especially in their youth and as they began to deal with the consequences of aging with disability. They valued
work as a way to contribute to society and to connect with other people. Additionally, they identified leisure with family and friends as being important for their physical health and social wellness. Issues of disability
identity were noted regarding
work and leisure choices, with leisure often providing a space for them to express aspects of themselves that they did not feel were apparent in their vocations. Aging with disability also influenced
identity and was associated…

▼ This study uses qualitative interview data from 35 Black professional women in the Twin Cities metropolitan area to identify and further understand the complex negotiation of identities necessary for Black women to achieve professional success. It asks, (1) what combinations of factors associated with race, class, and gender do these Black women perceive have the greatest impact on the career trajectories of Black women? (2) What are racial and gendered expectations outside of the workplace these Black women perceive complicate their career trajectories? (3) How do these Black professional women perceive the politics of class, as well as race and gender impact their career trajectories? (4) How do these Black women use race, class, and gendered networks? The limited body of research on the experiences of Black professional women suggests assimilation, defined as absorbing and seeing oneself as a culture different from one's native culture, is not necessary for professional success, a claim which seems counter-intuitive to present day understandings within the Black community of how success is best achieved. This study seeks to address the void in the literature by attempting to connect professional success to the competing interests of Black women's personal and professional lives, such as attaining traditional roles of wife and/or mother, meeting cultural expectations of active community engagement, or taking on minority mentors, to highlight the often invisible barriers to professional success for Black women. Through analysis of the individual personal and professional experiences of Black women, this dissertation identifies a combination of factors associated with race, class, and gender Black professional women perceive as impacting their career trajectories. The findings of this study suggest that many of the study participants' personal commitments, such as active community outreach and a desire for occupational prestige are indeed perceived predictive of career success. Black women are encouraged early in their professional lives to value either family or career as most important. Their personal valuations, regardless of other objective similarities (such as level of education, or that of family members), are believed by these women to significantly inform how the degree of career success they achieve. While one cannot generalize from a case study of 35 Black women in the Twin Cities, the study offers clear directions for future research on the professional success of Black women. This research will help to further the important work of narrowing the wide gap in career achievement between Black and white women in the United States.

▼ Most organizations have some form of onboarding process, which is a longer process of an introduction for the new employees. Onboarding can be explained as a relationship between the talent of the new employee and the productivity of the organization. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the onboarding process predicted work identity (personal/collective). To investigate this, digital questionnaires were sent to various employees in the construction industry. This was to limit our selection as well as interest in the industry. The questionnaires consisted two different parts, the first on onboarding and the second on work identity (personal/collective) and was answered by 152 persons (mean age M = 35,55, SD = 8,98). The responses were first analyzed by a factor analysis where we obtained three components, which were: start-up, experience and culture. Later, four regression analyzes were performed in IBM statistics SPSS 24. The result showed that the experience component (which included questions about preparation, safety and belonging) predicted work identity (personal/collective).

▼ Background: Usage of temporaries in contemporary business is increasing due to demand for agile and efficient way of doing business. This trend has been rising especially when turning into 21stcentury. Growing group of temporary workers in different industries being mobile and under different circumstances than regular full-time workers. One professional group working with clients in temporal terms is consultants hired as project managers to lead customer projects in project-based organizations. These project managers switch context between businesses and try to adapt as soon as possible to new environments. The paper uses concept of liminality as a metaphor to describe these passages between projects which starts identity work and sensemaking process in individual. Purpose of Thesis: The purpose of this thesis was to study how project managers cope with liminality using sensemaking and identity work as a point of view. Methodology: This is a qualitative cross-sectional study conducted through semi-structured interviews in order to gather primary data for further analysis and findings. The empirical data was gathered from a Finnish professional service company and consisted ten interviews of consultant project managers. Findings: The study presents a four-field matrix forming project manager archetypes as embodiments of variation how consultant project managers deal with liminality. Although, the group of people in the sample can be perceived homogeneous, it turned out that it contained heterogeneous characteristics regarding the research scope. The main differences found are illustrated through technical or social approach toward work, and whether sensemaking processes occurred in individual or collective manner. Therefore, the study was able to create four different form of archetypes: the realist, the connector, the performer and the moderator.

▼ With this research project, I endeavored to better understand the relationship that exists between identification, context, and control within communities of practice in which members identify with particular salience. Through an application of a discursive approach to the study of identification, I sought to explain how individuals engage in conscious and unconscious
identity work both within and beyond the situated context of their community identities. In this way, I extended the prevailing theorizing about context and
identity by acknowledging the ways our particularly salient identities can shape our various social contexts. Furthermore, I applied a critical lens in order to better understand how mechanisms of concertive control and
identity regulation can also extend beyond the situated context of one’s
identity. In pursuit of this project, I conducted an ethnographic investigation of a community of trivia players who participate in the annual World’s Largest Trivia Contest.
As a result of this investigation, I identified knowledge and competition as two predominate
identity discourses in circulation within the trivia community. I was able to observe how the enactment and negotiation of these
identity discourses occurred both within and beyond the situated context of the World’s Largest Trivia Contest environment, demonstrating the trans-contextual nature of members’ identification. Furthermore, I was able to identify how these
identity discourses serve to restrain and motivate particular behaviors among participants both within and beyond the situated context of the community, demonstrating a trans-contextual system of control.

Research Purpose: The aim of the study is to explore shifts in work identity experienced by individual research team members during the duration of a project wherein they studied work identity themselves. Motivation for the study: To reflect on shifts in work identity. Research strategy: The researcher presented data through confessional tales, autoethnography, fictional representation, realist tales and vignettes. Using thematic analysis methodology in the context of qualitative field research, ten semi -structured interviews were conducted with five participants who were themselves involved in conducting a research study on work identity.These participants were employed by various South African companies and academia.The researcher, who formed part of the research team presented data related to shifts in her own work identity by means of an autoethnographic account. Main findings: The four primary themes presented in the data are: Compass points guiding our journey; navigating personal circumstances; negotiating identity and identification in the workplace; perception of self. Managerial applications: This study has implications for organisations looking to improve productivity through an understanding of work identity. Theoretical Contribution: An application for shifts in work identity is done by positioning shifts in work identity in a framework proposed by Ibarra (2004).

▼ AbstractMany Aboriginal youth leave their communities to pursue work opportunities in urban areas, but statistics imply there is a pervasive problem Aboriginal youth are facing in terms of securing employment, despite programs and policies which have been designed to increase Aboriginal youth employment rates (Dwyer, 2003; White Maxim, Gyimah, 2003). Previous research examining Aboriginal youth employment has neglected to include the perspectives of Aboriginal youth regarding the barriers they face when seeking employment. Even less research has been dedicated to exploring the role cultural identity plays in an Aboriginal youth's employment experiences. This thesis utilized qualitative methodology to interview and explore the employment narratives of ten urban Aboriginal youth. The results identified four major themes and several meta-themes regarding barriers to successful employment, the role of cultural identity and the hopes for future.

▼ Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Increasingly, corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives have become a significant feature of business activities, and their impacts have received growing attention in both the practitioner and academic communities. Organisations have adopted CSR purposefully to manage their relationships with stakeholders and to enhance their legitimacy. However, considering that employees contribute directly to an organisation’s success, knowledge is scarce on the processes through which they perceive the organisation’s CSR practices and how they use these to construct and develop their understandings of the organisation. This signifies that one underutilized approach to understanding some of the potential costs and benefits of CSR for organisations is to investigate the impacts of CSR on their employees. This research, therefore, intends to improve the understanding of how employees perceive an organisation’s CSR activities and how this influences their relationships with the organisation. To illustrate how an organisation’s identity is viewed externally and internally, and how it is affected by its CSR practices, we need to develop our understanding of the interrelationships between CSR and organisational identity and organisational image. To achieve these aims, this research is designed as an exploratory case study, including qualitative fieldwork, encompassing semi-structured interviews and documentary analysis (e.g., of CSR documents and reports and mission and vision statements). The findings revealed that an organisation’s external CSR initiatives do not necessarily serve to improve the employees’ perceptions of the organisation, rather they can contribute to cynicism among employees when they do not find the organisation’s CSR activities authentic. Employees also do not consider their organisation’s CSR activities as image enhancing when they believe that they are not designed to deliver meaningful benefits to the community. This research also enhances our knowledge with respect to the relationships between identification and identity work by illustrating how employees adjust their perceptions and relationships with an organisation. This research has helped to show that the focus of an organisation’s CSR can be used to understand how organisational-level phenomena are perceived by employees, and subsequently result in individual-level outcomes.

▼ Female managers in the mining industry face unique challenges not experienced by
their male counterparts. They need to perform
identity work to overcome these barriers
successfully so that they can create a leadership
identity. Leadership development
contexts may foster
identity construction. To enhance employment equity in historically
male-dominated professions and environments, an understanding of women’s
leadership
identity construction in leadership development contexts is beneficial.
The purpose of this research was to explore the
identity work of female managers
working in a leadership development context in the mining industry, to determine how
they construct a leadership
identity. This was an exploratory and descriptive qualitative
study conducted within the hermeneutic phenomenological research paradigm. A
purposive sample consisting of five women working in a mining company was used.
Semi-structured interviews were conducted, and data were analysed using the
phenomenological hermeneutical method. The main findings indicate that four main
identity bases influence how female managers in a leadership development context
create a leadership
identity. These include: (i) the impact of life spheres, (ii) integrating
personal and professional roles, (iii) the role
work facets play and (iv) the changing
self. Moreover, four leadership
identity work strategies are used to counter the effects
of the
identity bases. These are: (i) being guided by personal philosophies, (ii) balance
and negotiation between personal and professional lives, (iii) building relationships
both personally and professionally, and (iv) assuming ownership for careers and lives
using career management strategies. Based on these findings, a conceptual
framework was developed. The findings may guide organisations in developing and
implementing effective and well-informed policies, strategies and initiatives geared at
the attraction, retention, development and appropriate support of women who are or
who wish to be employed as female managers in the mining industry. This study
contributes to the knowledge base concerning female leadership in the mining industry
in South Africa.

▼ Identifying with more than one culture has been found to confer numerous benefits, including greater psychological and emotional well-being. However, it is not clear how bicultural identity integration (BII; defined as biculturals’ perceived compatibility between their two cultural identities) affects workplace well-being (i.e., employees’ work exhaustion). I predict that biculturals’ BII levels will influence work exhaustion through perceptions of role conflict. The results from two studies reveal that biculturals with low BII perceive conflict in their work role, and in turn, these perceptions are associated with greater work exhaustion. This research highlights the importance of BII for the effect of cultural identity on well-being. Practical implications are discussed in the context of training interventions for improving employee well-being.

▼ This research contributes to the understanding of
identity by investigating the processes and dynamics of students’ science
identity work. Specifically, my analysis is concerned with the
identity work that students perform as they craft desired and projected identities in and around science topics. I collected data when observing the students, examining and recording their artifacts, interviewing the students (both formally and informally), and interviewing their teachers and parents. I focused on four episodes of
identity work of fifth graders. One episode is about a student group I call “the Ringo Keepers.” The second episode is about two girls doing imaginary play using books they are reading as their guide. The third episode is about a student working on an
identity of being helpful using science content. The final episode is about students developing a process to catch fiddler crabs. One main conclusion from this research is that science
identity work happened adjacent to other
identity work the students were doing. This way of looking at science
identity work—
identity work happening as an unexpected result of other
work or play done by the students—is unique. Secondly, research on pretend play happening in fifth-grade students while at school is either limited or does not exist, especially on imaginary play with
identity work. One last interesting finding is that
identity work can happen collectively, yet at the same time is unique for each individual. While the group is working as one unit, because each individual is an individual with their own unique history, their
identity work has a group component and an individual component. From these findings, I would like to further investigate how the organization of a school can support or hinder science
identity work in and around the science classroom.

▼ In the process of understanding the social dynamics of intersecting identities within the field of social
work in order to optimize the socio-psychological assistance to queer Muslim adolescents in the Netherlands, this thesis is about exploring the lived experiences of the social dynamics between social workers and the target group of queer Muslim adolescents who face socio-psycholocial problems concerning their sexual
identity. Furthermore it takes up on the question to what extend social workers use the concept of ‘passing’, presented by Judith Butler, as a strategy to cross borders of cultural and sexual
identity in order to make the caunseling towards queer Muslim adolescents more effective.
