Transformational change in a hospital: How time and history constitute leadership agency
This paper addresses a research gap in showing how the complexity of change leadership in the hospital sector can be understood in the dialectics between local leadership and its near and wider context. Specifically, leadership is connected to the history and temporality of the field as core constituents of leaders’ change agency, and politics and policy are foregrounded as temporal elements in leadership. Presenting a longitudinal study of leade…
The Influence of Migration Patterns on Regional Demographic Development in Germany
Political decision-making related to future challenges, for example in the fields of medical care, the housing market or education highly depend on valid estimates of the future population size and structure. However, such developments are usually heterogeneous throughout a country making subnational projections necessary. It is well-known that these regional differences are highly influenced by both internal and external migration processes. In …
Professional boundary struggles in the context of healthcare change: The Relational and Symbolic Constitution of Nursing Ethos in the Space of Possible Professionalisation
The paper draws on Bourdieu's conceptualisation of the symbolic order and his little used concept of ethos in order to gain novel understandings of boundary struggles between nursing and medicine as well as internally in nursing. The constituents of boundary struggles are analysed in the context of healthcare transformation, focusing on organisational, institutional and political boundary undertakings. Changing conditions for boundary demarcation…
Standardization for patient safety in a hospital department: Killing butterflies with a musket
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to look at the ways in which standardization for patient safety is approached from different positions in the field, namely nurses and managers in a hospital department, the hospital management and standard inventers. We understand safety standardization and the responses to it as a strategizing process, where standards are legitimized, taken up, handled or countered. Design/methodology/approach Ethnographic f…
Merger as field transformation: Nurses’ positioning and metaphoric journeys
The integration perspective on culture that has its base in the intellectual tradition of functionalism seems to be institutionalized in the literature on healthcare mergers. In our analysis of a merger between two hospital departments, we approach culture from a different perspective, when we analyse the merger as a cultural practice developing in the intersection between Bourdieusian habitus, field and capital. We believe this framework facilit…
Between change and reproduction: Profession, practice and organizational space in a hospital department
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of organizational space in attempts at practice redesign and innovation that involve a break with the traditional professional boundaries in a recently established Danish hospital department. Design/methodology/approach Organizational ethnography combined with Bourdieusian theorization. The data used for this paper are derived from 13 months of ethnographic fieldwork. The author performed p…
