“…Incorporating meaning as a lens on human bodies is important for developing the concept of organizational body work for several reasons. First, attending to the meaning of bodies respects a core aspect of its phenomenology (Dahl, Falke, & Eriksen, 2019;Küpers, 2014). The meanings attached to a body are integral to a person's internal life, sense of self, and identity, as well as to their experience of others (Dolezal & Petherbridge, 2017).…”

In this article, we review management and organizational research that describes and explains "organizational body work"purposeful, organizationally embedded efforts to shape human bodies. We conceptualize human bodies in terms of three dimensions-materiality, meaning, and functionality-and argue that organizational body work is constituted by programs of purposeful effort involving activities situated in and shaped by organizational life. Based on a review of 210 articles and books that feature descriptions of organizational body work, we unpack the concept in three main ways. First, we offer an inductively developed process model of organizational body work that comprises five key themes: the triggers, forms, consequences, contexts, and the variations of bodies targeted. Second, a key observation that emerged from our review was that organizational body work is animated by a set of organizational tensions, and so we explore three such tensions situated in the cultural, health, and political dynamics of organizational life. Third, we suggest eight directions for future research intended to illustrate and inspire, rather than set boundaries around the study of organizational body work.

“…Um diesen qualitativen Unterschied zu verstehen, bietet sich die aus der Philosophie stammende phänomenologische Methode an, die als erkenntnistheoretische Strömung das Erleben der Personen in den Blick nimmt. Neben der Stellung der phänomenologischen Forschung als Grundlagenwissenschaft der Psychopathologie untersucht sie auch Strukturen körperlichen Krankseins [2] und bildet die theoretische Grundlage verschiedener qualitativer Forschungsverfahren. Phänomenologische Untersuchungen zu Müdigkeit und Erschöpfung liegen von Sartre [3], Lévinas [4] sowie von Deleuze [5] vor; eine umfassende Untersuchung der Fatigue entwickelte zuletzt Morris [6].…”

Chronische Fatigue unterscheidet sich qualitativ von Alltagsmüdigkeit. Aus phänomenologischer Sicht bietet sich dafür die Differenzierung zwischen Leib und Körper an. Während in der Alltagsmüdigkeit der Körper gegenüber dem Leib präsenter wird, kann seine Widerständigkeit in der Fatigue als überwältigend erlebt werden. Zudem weicht die Rhythmik von leiblicher Frische und Erholung einer chronischen Erschöpfung, bei der dauerhafte Regeneration nicht mehr möglich ist.
