Abstract

ABSTRACT The organization is traditionally assumed as the principal context of work. This assumption no longer holds in post-industrial and post-bureaucratic settings. Conducting meetings from home while juggling household responsibilities can be characterized as a form of organizing, but such contexts is not well accommodated by organizational perspectives. In such contexts, the organization plays a varying and often limited role. To accommodate this decomposition and re-composition of how work is organized, the present study develops a conceptual framework centered on the work situation. Building on Goffman’s account of social situations (1966, 1974), the analysis draws an explicit distinction between the context of work as a series of potential frames and the work situation as an enacted framework for gestalting the specific work at hand. On this view, the organization as a formal setting or social assembly is just one of many frames that influence what actors do at work.

定义组织理论中的工作情境:让戈夫曼回归

摘要传统上，组织被认为是工作的主要背景。这种假设在后工业和后官僚环境中不再成立。在家召开会议，同时兼顾家庭责任可以被描述为一种组织形式，但组织角度并不能很好地适应这种情况。在这种情况下，组织发挥的作用各不相同，而且往往是有限的。为了适应工作组织方式的分解和重新组合，本研究开发了一个以工作情境为中心的概念框架。基于戈夫曼对社会情境的描述（19661974），该分析明确区分了作为一系列潜在框架的工作情境和作为孕育手头具体工作的既定框架的工作情景。从这个角度来看，组织作为一个正式的环境或社会集会，只是影响参与者工作的众多框架之一。

期刊介绍： Culture and Organization was founded in 1995 as Studies in Cultures, Organizations and Societies . It represents the intersection of academic disciplines that have developed distinct qualitative, empirical and theoretical vocabularies to research organization, culture and related social phenomena. Culture and Organization features refereed articles that offer innovative insights and provoke discussion. It particularly offers papers which employ ethnographic, critical and interpretive approaches, as practised in such disciplines as organizational, communication, media and cultural studies, which go beyond description and use data to advance theoretical reflection. The Journal also presents papers which advance our conceptual understanding of organizational phenomena.
