How Physician-Employees Experience Their Work Lives in a Changing HMO
The present study advances our understanding of both physician adaptation and the physician-organization relationship in a managed care environment defined by structural diversity and constant change. It does so through a longitudinal examination of a single group of physician-employees experiencing their work lives within a nonprofit health maintenance organization (HMO) in the midst of major strategic developments. Using interview, observation,…
Thriving and Surviving in a New Medical Career: The Case of Hospitalist Physicians
Managed care is cultivating a variety of new work careers within the medical profession, and it is worth asking whether they will function as long- or shorter-term career options for the individuals who participate in them. This paper uses the specific case of hospitalist physicians to explore how the surrounding social and economic work contexts contribute to two individual-level outcomes that inform the issue of career longevity: the concepts o…

The Social Organization of Physician-Managers in a Changing HMO

It describes two distinct identities among these professionals and the social relations associated with them. The identities are labeled organization-compatible and profession-compatible. Social relations between physician-managers are characterized by conflict, distrust, and game-playing rather than collegiality. The fin…

This article examines primary care doctors in two different work settings to see how professionals attempt to actively deal with structural developments in their environment. The findings show the complex, uncertain, and ongoing process of …
