Organizational Structure, Environment and Performance: The Role of Strategic Choice
Tập 6 Số 1 - Trang 1-22 - 1972
This paper critically examines available theoretical models which have been
derived from statistically established patterns of association between
contextual and organizational variables. These models offer an interpretation of
organizational structure as a product of primarily economic constraints which
contextual variables are assumed to impose. It is argued that available models
in fact attempt...
A Phenomenology of Tourist Experiences
Tập 13 Số 2 - Trang 179-201 - 1979
Contemporary studies of tourism see the tourist experience as either something
essentially spurious and superficial, an extension of an alienated world, or as
a serious search for authenticity, an effort to escape from an alienated world.
It is argued that neither of these views is universally valid. A more
discriminating distinction between five types of tourist experiences is
proposed, based on ...
The Place of Inter-Rater Reliability in Qualitative Research: An Empirical Study
Tập 31 Số 3 - Trang 597-606 - 1997
Social Class of Men, Women and Families
Tập 18 Số 4 - Trang 500-514 - 1984
An increased interest in the social class position of women has followed the
increased labour force participation of married women. But if more than one
member of a family is assigned a class position independently of the other
members, the two basic factors of class position, according to Lockwood, work
situation and market situation, do not necessarily coincide, since the work
situation relates ...
Beyond the Throwaway Society: Ordinary Domestic Practice and a Sociological Approach to Household Food Waste
Tập 46 Số 1 - Trang 41-56 - 2012
This article offers a sociological analysis of household food waste and its
starting point is a critique of perspectives in which volumes of waste
generation are used to infer the presence of a throwaway society. Drawing on
broadly ethnographic examples, the analysis illustrates some of the ways in
which the passage of ‘food’ into ‘waste’ arises as a consequence of the ways in
which domestic pract...
Ordinary, Ambivalent and Defensive: Class Identities in the Northwest of England
Tập 35 Số 4 - Trang 875-892 - 2001
This paper uses data gathered from an ESRC funded research project on social
networks, social capital and lifestyle to provide an account of contemporary
class identities derived from 178 in-depth interviews carried out in the
Manchester area between 1997 and 1999. We use this data to unpack the ambivalent
nature of contemporary class identities. We argue that despite the diversity of
the sample, ...
`We're Over-Researched Here!'
Tập 42 Số 5 - Trang 953-970 - 2008
Despite a number of references to research fatigue and over-researching in the
literature, the concepts have yet to be empirically investigated within
qualitative contexts. This article, therefore, seeks to explore how researchers
understand and account for research fatigue and over-researching. Using the
results generated from a grounded analysis, a number of precursors are
identified and discuss...
Patriarchy and Professions: The Gendered Politics of Occupational Closure
Tập 24 Số 4 - Trang 675-690 - 1990
The relationship between gender and professionalisation is a neglected one, and
female professional projects have been overlooked in the sociology of
professions. The generic notion of profession is also a gendered notion as it
takes what are in fact the successful professional projects of class-privileged
male actors at a particular point in history and in particular societies to be
the paradigma...
Theorising Gender
Tập 19 Số 2 - Trang 260-272 - 1985
A social theory of gender is implied and required by current sexual politics.
Its scope cannot be defined a priori, but can be defined practically by the
reach of a network of arguments generated by feminism, gay liberation,
psychoanalysis and some branches of academic sociology and psychology. Two main
types of theory have emerged: one emphasising attitudes and social expectations,
centring on th...
Geodemographics, Software and Class
Tập 40 Số 5 - Trang 793-812 - 2006
This article examines some of the implications for the sociological analysis of
social class of the migration of geodemographic classifications of various sorts
into software systems designed to ‘sort out’ people and places. It begins by
offering an overview of the history and development of geodemographic
classifications. It then argues that such classifications are increasingly
becoming embedded...
