Power, Identity and New Technology Homework: Implications for `New Forms' of Organizing
研究了一群专业工作者从传统办公室转为全职远程家庭办公的经历，评估吉登斯与后现代理论对权力、身份和时空的解释力，认为这种组织形态既非必然腐蚀人格，也未提供审美反思空间。
This paper reports on research which tracked the experience of a group of professional workers as they moved from being conventional office workers to becoming homeworkers where they used the new information and communication technologies (ICT's), but remained as full-time salaried employees. The paper evaluates the value of Giddens's conceptualization of power, identity and time/space in explaining the consequences of this move and compares his approach to post modem theorizations, which draw on the work of Foucault and Lash and Urry. The paper concludes with the view that such a form of organization is neither inherently corrosive of character (Sennett 1998) nor does it provide a space for aesthetic reflexivity (Lash and Urry 1994). What has yet to develop is a sense of `the other' within the emerging discourse serving to articulate this new form of organizing.
