“…Their lifestyles increasingly comprise bohemian elements (e.g. Boltanski & Chiapello, 2003;Brooks, 2000;Vester et al, 2001); and their employment relationships resemble those of theatre artists (Arthur & Rousseau, 1996;Kanter, 1995;Pongratz & Voß, 2004). Thus organizations operating in such industries and employing workers from such backgrounds (will) face problems similar to artistic production when trying to manage non-economic, lifestyle-based logics of practice.…”

For art's sake! Artistic and economic logics in creative production

2007

SummaryIn creative or cultural production, work practices are shaped by both artistic and economic logics of practice. We apply a practice theory-framework to qualitative research in German theatres and analyse (i) the nature of the relationship between artistic and economic logics of practice and (ii) how art and business as reference points influence creative production. Exploring logics of practice in theatre reveals a central paradox of creative production: economic logics tend to crowd out artistic logics, and thus endanger the resources vital to creative production. Consequently theatre actors and theatres, as organisations, have to develop means of safeguarding artistic logics of practice in order to delimit the influence of economic logics. The article shows that despite of this need, no respective organizational routines have emerged. Rather, human resource management practices in theatres are highly personalized and theatre artists have to find their own, idiosyncratic ways of dealing with the tension between artistic and economic logics. We argue that the central paradox in creative production, which is caused by the necessity to manage and market habitually incorporated non-economic norms and values, is also of crucial relevance for other, especially knowledge-intensive industries.

“…Today's work is characterized by highly dynamic environments in which adaptability, flexibility, and self‐regulation of employees and supervisors have become increasingly important (Cascio, ). Because of the shift from manufacturing‐oriented businesses to service‐oriented and technologically challenging businesses, employees are increasingly faced with demands for being flexible, responsive service providers who can effectively anticipate and fulfil changing customers' needs and being adaptive, creative, and innovative in applying new technologies (Giddens, ; Pongratz, ). This trend is illustrated by the following examples for commonly used behavioural anchors that are specified in competency models, which identify the core competencies of employees needed for goal achievement in a given organization or job role (Penning, ): ‘controls and regulates his/her emotions in critical situations', ‘acts purposefully and confidently, especially in ambiguous situations', ‘demonstrates the ability to elaborate and evaluate complex information efficiently', or ‘displays high willingness and commitment to outstanding performance'.…”

In awareness of the increasing relevance of self-control for goal achievement and its adverse effects on psychological strain in different occupational contexts, we tested lagged mediational effects of self-control demands (SCDs) on emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, anxiety, and sum of days absent. The present analyses draw on two German longitudinal samples (N TOTAL = 399) and a measure of absenteeism. We used structural equation modelling and cross-lagged panel analyses to test our hypotheses. In line with theoretical arguments of action regulation theory, SCDs were found to mediate the longitudinal relationship between workload and exhaustion, anxiety, and sum of days absent at a later point in time, after controlling for other relevant job characteristics (workload, emotional dissonance, and job resources, such as job control and social support). Implications of the present results are discussed against the background of potential protective resources. Practitioner PointsThe present results indicate that job characteristics, which cause employees to engage in self-control, exert adverse effects on psychological well-being and absenteeism in the long run. HR managers as well as HR consultants should consider the double-sided nature of competency models and job specifications that include requirements on volitional selfregulation of thoughts, emotions, and behaviour (examples for commonly used behavioural anchors are given in the text). Our findings call for HR systems that provide assistance (such as self-management or self-control training programmes, emotional and social support) in facing self-control demands and exerting goal-directed regulation of behaviour. The effects on absenteeism shed light on long-term organizational costs that are associated with high demands on self-control and high workload.

“…Due to the accelerated change of skill requirements vocational training is assumed to become obsolete more quickly, leading to the necessity of life-long adaptation of an individual's skill set to the requirements of the labour market (Pongratz and Voß 2004). Although plausible in theory critics and proponents of these notions agree that it is unclear how fast the process develops and that there is still a need for visible skill sets in order to facilitate the matching process on the labour market (Demszky von der Hagen and Voß 2010; Kupka 2005).…”

Due to a possible loss of occupation specific human capital the effects are assumed to be detrimental. This seems especially probable if the individual has attained specific human capital in the form of vocational training. A sample from the panel study "Labour Market and Social Security" (PASS) was used to analyse the occupational changes of unemployed individuals upon re-entry into the labour market. Compared to occupational changes from employment, changes in the unemployment group have stronger negative effects on the difference in socio-economic status between the last and the current job. The International Socio-Economic Index (ISEI) was used as the status measure. For unemployed individuals without vocational training no significant effect could be found, whereas those with training did incur substantial status losses. In conclusion the loss of occupation specific human capital due to changes of occupation does seem to be detrimental to the socio-economic situation of unemployed individuals after re-employment. This should be considered when applying strict labour market policies possibly pressuring individuals to change their occupation in order to take up employment more quickly.
