Constructing Scientific Careers: Change, Continuity and Context
研究了公共部门科研人员如何在组织、政策、社会和文化情境中理解和发展自己的职业生涯，强调结构与能动性的互动，并基于英、新两国的实证数据发展了Barley的职业生涯结构化模型。
This paper examines the ways in which public sector research scientists make sense of and seek to develop their careers within their current organizational, policy, social and cultural contexts. It argues that to access such understandings, both structure and agency and the relationship between them need to be considered. Using empirical evidence from research in the United Kingdom and New Zealand, this paper further develops Barley's (1989) structuration model of career. It highlights the diverse (and frequently intersecting) institutional contexts in which research scientists seek to develop their careers, and their characteristic modes of engagement with such contexts, and utilizes the concept of career scripts to illustrate the dynamic interaction between these dimensions.
