研究机场一线员工如何主观体验后官僚制组织中新规范话语带来的真实性与服从、工作与生活融合等张力，识别出四种应对立场。
Abstract The introduction of a neo‐normative discourse in a (post)bureaucratic organization can result in tensions between the neo‐normative injunction to be authentic and exhortations to fit with the ideal (post)bureaucratic organizational subject. Focusing on how shopfloor workers subjectively experience the tensions between neo‐normative and (post)bureaucratic demands, this empirical investigation yielded three major contributions. First, it pinpointed and addressed significant gaps in existing studies of normative and neo‐normative discourse. Second, the study better distinguished normative and neo‐normative control on the basis of two tensions: (1) authenticity versus conformity; and (2) conflation versus differentiation between life and work. Third, the study identified four distinct subject positions that demonstrated how organizational participants creatively appropriate and strive to resolve these two tensions in a work setting that mixes normative and neo‐normative control.
