Whilst previous research has usually focused on who among the corporate elite hold positions in key civil society organisations, and the extent to which these organisations are integrated into corporate networks, we use data on the nature and operations of civil society organisations to identify which are more likely to attract corporate elites as board members. Using a dataset of over thirty-one thousand UK incorporated companies registered with the Charity Commission of England and Wales, we examine the appointments of corporate elite to these organisations over a 10-year period. Based on these appointments, we are able to offer insights into the social networks, values and interests of the corporate elite as a whole. We find that the UK corporate elite are more likely to join the boards of larger, high-status charities, and those that support traditional upper-class culture and class reproduction. We also find they are relatively more likely to join organisations that seek to shape politics and society—such as foundations distributing grants, or think tanks undertaking public policy research and advocacy—than those involved in the provision of welfare and social services. Taken together, the findings are suggestive of a status-seeking, culturally highbrow and secular economic elite, that is more traditional than meritocratic, and more concerned with shaping policy and supporting the institutions of their class, than directly supporting disadvantaged groups.","PeriodicalId":51368,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Sociology","volume":"76 3","pages":"605-621"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1468-4446.13201","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143524889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, much of the work on the stratifying power of sports in the workplace has focussed on highly unequal societies, like the United Kingdom and the United States, and workplaces within the economic elite. In this paper, we examine elite hiring in Norway, a country that is more egalitarian with respect to social class and gender than countries that are typically the focus of elite research. Drawing from 50 interviews with hiring agents and ethnographic observation of hiring processes in nine organisations, we examine whether and how (1) sports are used in elite Norwegian hiring, and (2) these processes vary between elite labour market sectors that have different compositions of economic and cultural capital. We find that sports are indeed a salient basis of elite hiring in Norway. As in more unequal countries, elite employers intentionally seek out candidates with extensive sporting histories, especially in traditionally high-class, stereotypically masculine sports. However, we find two departures from prior research. First, we find that the emphasis on sports participation—especially extensive participation in high-level organised sporting leagues during adulthood—was strongest in the economic and balanced fractions of the Norwegian elite and least pronounced in the cultural fraction. Second, employers in the economic and balanced fractions favoured current athletes in part because they believed the bodies of athletes brought direct symbolic and economic value to their firms, due to unique aspects of the Norwegian employment landscape. Our work highlights how local features of labour markets shape the construction and deployment of evaluative criteria in hiring. It also shows that physical capital has economic conversion value in certain elite labour markets.","PeriodicalId":51368,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Sociology","volume":"76 3","pages":"590-604"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1468-4446.13197","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143416150","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
