`Surviving the Rigs': Safety and Surveillance on North Sea Oil Installations
研究了北海石油平台上事故报告的政治，发现工人在安全文化和绩效评估体系下会限制事故报告，并操纵绩效信息，揭示了绩效评估如何塑造员工行为。
This article examines the politics of accident reporting on North Sea oil installations. In the context of an all-pervasive safety culture and performance assessment system, offshore workers restricted the reporting of accidents. Other studies suggest that workers often respond to increased monitoring by engaging in defensive practices that manipulate performance information. Accordingly, a central contention of this article is that performance assessment frequently creates employee performances. In turn, the paper highlights the value of linking the work of Goffman to that of Foucault for the critical analysis of culture, performance assessment and safety in contemporary organizations.
