The present study also finds the same tendency among the taxi-dancers. Most important, we find the learning of justifications plays a significant role in their occupational socialization. Without learning the various techniques to neutralize the unpleasantness of the job, the novice is not likely to commit herself to the career. Other factors in the occupational socialization of the taxi-dancers are also discussed. The study was conducted by means of intensive interviews and participant observation.","PeriodicalId":85554,"journal":{"name":"Sociology of work and occupations","volume":"46 1","pages":"327 - 342"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1977-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/003803857700400305","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65326359","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The dimensions of concern are illustrated in the present paper. They are part of a case study of women machine operatives in a New England mill. Task structure, aural, spatial, and interactional features combine to produce a way of doing work: low nontask related interactions of people on the shop floor, routine technology, and machine/worker intensive, unit production. The mill organization also produces an orientation and ethos toward coworkers: the experience of not belonging to effective social ties or bonds. These women are simultaneously deprived of the means for controlling the work process while being held to account as causal agents of their production outcomes.","PeriodicalId":85554,"journal":{"name":"Sociology of work and occupations","volume":"4 1","pages":"303 - 326"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1977-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/003803857700400304","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65325921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The data indicate that the medicine huckster presents an extremely favorable response to social psychological factors operative within a subculture of poverty. The deviance of medicine hucksterism is not due to some breakdown of social equilibrium, but is itself one source of such equilibrium. This study suggests that the deviant role of the huckster is not a marginal role, but rather an interstitial role within Mexican society.","PeriodicalId":85554,"journal":{"name":"Sociology of work and occupations","volume":"150 1","pages":"343 - 365"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1977-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/003803857700400306","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65326411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the case of doctors in Ontario, the advent of a universal health insurance scheme has brought with it greater control on the part of government over the relationships between doctors and patients. Using Johnson's typology of professional-client relationships, this paper examines the structural supports for increasing power of doctors who teach and research in comparison to community practitioners in Ontario. The implications of such a shift for some aspects of health delivery are examined, as examples of a more general pattern of behavior occurring with greater government control over professional practice.","PeriodicalId":85554,"journal":{"name":"Sociology of work and occupations","volume":"4 1","pages":"26 - 3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1977-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/009392857741001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"64916354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Playleaders' freedom to innovate in their work was found to be limited by the degree of cooperation that they were able to achieve with existing workers in the wards. Negotiations with nurses, teachers, and domestic staff are considered in detail, and an analysis of relative sources of power is presented. It is suggested that the predominant mode of response of staff to playleaders was distancing and isolation, which will pose problems for the greater deployment of playleaders in hospitals, and has consequences for the professional development of play in hospitals.","PeriodicalId":85554,"journal":{"name":"Sociology of work and occupations","volume":"4 1","pages":"63 - 86"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1977-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/009392857741004","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"64916741","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
