Sexuality, Power and Resistance in the Workplace
研究组织中的性表达是员工抵抗还是管理控制的手段,基于一项鼓励异性恋和同性恋话语的高承诺文化项目,发现性同时是控制、赋权和抵抗的场所。
This paper investigates whether the expression of sexuality in organizations represents an opportunity for employee resistance or increased management control. It draws upon an empirical study of a high-commitment culture programme that encouraged both heterosexual and homosexual discourses. The study reveals a complex scenario in which sexuality is simultaneously a facet of control, a site of empowerment and an object of resistance. It is suggested that a multilevelled conceptualization of power and resistance is required in order to untangle the complex political implications of sexuality and re-eroticization at work.
