摘要
众所周知,工作与社会类别之间的联系会对人们的职业发展产生影响。本研究的目的是考察目前正在进入警察组织的文职刑事调查员(CIs)所从事的职业工作的条件,他们在刑事调查中是对警官的补充。实证研究包括对瑞典警方文职和警用刑事调查员进行的 71 次访谈。通过社会符号视角分析了职业工作的条件,认识到了不同行为者网络中资源分配和代理的影响。此外,还研究了职业工作的背景性质,强调了受性别动态和文化因素影响的文职和警务 CI 之间的紧张关系。工作场所的情境性和文化特征,包括性别、学术和专业背景,在职业工作中产生了不同的结果。本研究讨论了文职 CI 人员职业发展的多面性,提供了对职业生涯作为社会协商过程的扩展理解,并揭示了组织动态、文化规范和资源分配在塑造个人职业轨迹方面的相互影响。
Careers as Social-Symbolic Work: Civilian Criminal Investigators’ Struggle for Legitimacy
The nexus between work and social categories is known to have an impact on how people develop in their careers. The purpose of this study was to examine the conditions for career work undertaken by civilian criminal investigators (CIs) who are currently entering police organizations, complementing police officers in criminal investigations. The empirical study encompassed 71 interviews conducted with both civilian and police CIs in the Swedish police. The conditions for career work were analyzed through a social-symbolic lens, recognizing the impact of both resource distribution and agency in a network of different actors. Furthermore, the contextual nature of career work was examined, highlighting tensions between civilian and police CIs, influenced by gender dynamics and cultural factors. The situatedness and cultural characteristics of the workplace, involving gender and academic and professional background, have divergent outcomes in career work. This research discusses the multifaceted nature of career development among civilian CIs, providing an extended understanding of career as a socially negotiated process and unraveling the mutual influence of organizational dynamics, cultural norms, and resource distribution in shaping individual career trajectories.
