Deconstructing Organizational Taboos: The Suppression of Gender Conflict in Organizations
通过分析一位公司总裁讲述的“帮助”女性员工平衡工作与家庭的故事，揭示组织如何压制性别冲突并固化公私领域的虚假二分，解释性别歧视难以消除的原因。
This paper begins with a story told by a corporation president to illustrate what his organization was doing to “help” women employees balance the demands of work and home. The paper deconstructs and reconstructs this story text from a feminist perspective, examining what it says, what it does not say, and what it might have said. This analysis reveals how organizational efforts to “help women” have suppressed gender conflict and reified false dichotomies between public and private realms of endeavor, suggesting why it has proven so difficult to eradicate gender discrimination in organizations. Implications of a feminist perspective for organizational theory are discussed.
