Building our own monument’: A social action group revisited

Analyzing Administrative Experiences: Feminist, Labor, and Organizational Culture Perspectives
A framework is offered for making organizational assessment for change using feminist, labor, and organizational culture perspectives. A vision of a humane work environment is important. The labor literature provides the critical analysis, the feminist perspective provides alternatives, and the concept of organizational culture provides the tool for assessment. Based on an exploratory study with women administrators, the authors look at how diffe…

The thesis of this article is that in general where most other workers were quickly and easily proletarianized, physicians—through the use of a variety of tactics at the disposal of some elite groups—have, until now, been able to postpone or minimize this process in their own case. Now, as a result of the bureaucratization which is being forced on medical practice as a consequence of the logic of capitalist expansion, physicians are slowly being …
