Accounting for the `dark side' of new organizational forms: The case of healthcare professionals
研究了跨组织边界的基因医疗网络形式实施中，弱势专业群体难以扮演跨界角色，原因在于政府政策不一致导致组织碎片化，以及专业机构维持等级和权力差异。
Our study responds to a call for research to integrate institutional, organizational and individual levels of analysis in examining the implications for work and employment relations of new organizational forms. We empirically examine the implementation of network forms of genetics healthcare delivery that cross organizational and professional boundaries. We highlight that less powerful professional groups may find difficulty in enacting boundary-spanning roles associated with new organizational forms. This is due, first, to inconsistency of government policy, which fragments organizations. Second, professional institutions sustain professional hierarchy and power differentials.
