摘要

本文基于一个实证案例研究,采用互动研究方法关注瑞典卡车公司的性别规范。它讨论了使用防火墙隐喻的综合价值:(1)分析组织约束性别规范如何在日常组织生活中完成,以及(2)作为促进旨在提高规范意识的过程的实用工具。这个比喻体现了一种理解,这种理解使得可视化相关的正在进行的组织过程和权力维度成为可能。此外,防火墙对于强调变化和复杂性也很有用。变化和动态表现为员工需要满足不同的“规范”以被接受。拥有某些代码(规范)是通过防火墙的第一层(雇用)并允许进入某些网络所必需的,但并不自动确保被接受并融入更有影响力的网络(称为防火墙的非正式和内层)。结果进一步表明,防火墙隐喻在促进员工之间的反思过程以提高规范意识和讨论变革策略方面是富有成效的。结论是,防火墙隐喻促进了对约束规范的关系和复杂行为的分析,并且它也可以用于启动变化。

From Glass Ceiling to Firewalls: Detecting and Changing Gendered Organizational Norms
ABSTRACT This article is based on an empirical case study with an interactive research approach focusing on gendered norms in a Swedish truck Company. It discusses the combined value of using the metaphor of a firewall for (1) analysing how organizational constraining gendered norms are done in everyday organizational life, and (2) as a practical tool to facilitate the processes aimed at improving norm awareness. The metaphor embodies an understanding that makes it possible to visualize relational ongoing organizational processes and power dimensions. In addition, the firewall is useful for emphasizing variations and complexity. Variations and dynamics are manifested in the ways that employees need to fulfil varying “codes” in order to be accepted. The possession of certain codes (norms) that are required to pass through the first layer of the firewall (employment), and give access to some networks, does not automatically ensure acceptance and integration into more influential networks (referred to as the informal and inner layers of the firewall). The results furthermore show that the firewall metaphor is fruitful when facilitating reflection processes amongst employees to improve norm awareness and to discuss strategies for change. The conclusion is that the firewall metaphor facilitates an analysis of the relational and complex doing of constraining norms, and that it also can be used to initiate change.
