SES-1602568John EvansLindsay J. DepalmaUniversity of California, San DiegoOver the last few decades, major structural changes have resulted in the replacement of stable career-paths with part-time or contractual labor and the general fragmentation of professional career paths. This market economy demands flexible workers and creates work that is uncertain and unpredictable. These changes, characterized by the relationship between employer and employee transitioning from relational to transactional, is generating an unprecedented form of precarious work in the professional middle class. This project analyzes how professionals negotiate contradictions between cultural narratives about lovable work, success, and agency, and unprecedented levels of precarious work. The research conceptualizes two broad experiences of professional work, one in the market economy and one in the organizations economy. Work within the market economy is characterized by instability, risk, flexibility, and precariousness, while work within the organizations economy is characterized by stability, low risk, rigidity, and security. This project compares professionals who experience work as precarious to those who do not, holding occupation constant by analyzing three occupations that have positions in both the market and the organizations economy? engineers, designers, and nurses. In total, the investigators will interview 72 professionals. These data are needed in order to understand the new problems professional workers face, and to develop cultural and institutional solutions. This research will contribute insights that will help to build a new social contract that grants employers the flexibility that the market demands and employees the securities and cultural coherence that they need to thrive in a market economy.

SES-1602568John EvansLindsay J. Depalma 加州大学圣地亚哥分校 在过去的几十年里，重大的结构性变化导致稳定的职业道路被兼职或合同工取代，以及职业职业道路的普遍碎片化。这种市场经济需要灵活的工人，并创造了不确定和不可预测的工作。这些变化的特点是雇主和雇员之间的关系从关系型转变为交易型，正在职业中产阶级中产生前所未有的不稳定工作形式。该项目分析了专业人士如何协调关于可爱工作、成功和代理的文化叙述与前所未有的不稳定工作水平之间的矛盾。该研究概念化了两种广泛的专业工作经验，一种是市场经济中的，另一种是组织经济中的。市场经济中的工作具有不稳定性、风险性、灵活性和不稳定性，组织经济中的工作具有稳定性、低风险性、刚性性和安全性。该项目通过分析在市场和组织经济中均占有一席之地的三种职业，将经历过工作不稳定的专业人士与没有经历过工作不稳定的专业人士进行比较，保持职业不变。工程师、设计师和护士。调查人员总共将采访 72 名专业人士。需要这些数据来了解专业工作者面临的新问题，并制定文化和制度解决方案。 这项研究将提供见解，有助于建立新的社会契约，为雇主提供市场所需的灵活性，为雇员提供在市场经济中蓬勃发展所需的保障和文化一致性。
