“…The sector novices themselves rank innovation and integrity highest. They also strongly support excellence, again resonating with the notion of smartness and passion as common idioms in the corporate world (see Rao and Neely, 2019;Tavory et al 2022).…”

“…Another common approach is offering mentoring programs through which employees can share their knowledge with members of the community (students, underprivileged groups, members of the neighborhood). Finally, a third poplar way of facilitating employee volunteering is through pro-bono set-ups, similar to the advertisement industry (Tavory, Prelat and Ronen, 2022). In this case, employees can log their hours the do volunteering on the expense of the company.…”

“…Yet, little research has been done on stigmatization of high-status occupations. Important recent exceptions to this are the studies of the advertisement industry (Tavory, Prelat and Ronen, 2022;Cohen and Dromi, 2018), a sector often seen as deceitful, cynical and purely profit-driven.…”

Financial occupations are simultaneously associated with prestige and stigma. This study investigates how finance novices draw upon field-specific repertoires to deal with occupational stigma. We analyzed both company career webpages (N: 120) and conducted interviews with sector novices recruited at Dutch, international business schools (N: 29) to unpack (1) which repertoires are mobilized to justify working in finance and (2) how these correspond to field logics. We distinguish between three scripts that re-imagine finance work as contributing to a common good, with strong correspondences between organizational and individual repertoires: (1) importance of giving back to society, (2) promoting a stakeholder model to limit the excesses of capitalism, and (3) claiming that finance is pivotal in building a more sustainable future.

“…Actors may combine compatible elements from different orders or try to compartmentalize them, following different orders in different contexts (Pache and Santos 2013). Indeed, orders of worth rarely appear in their "pure" form, and many organizations hold multiple orders at the same time, blending or aligning them in various ways (Battilana and Dorado 2010;Boltanski and Thévenot 1991;Eliasoph, Lo, and Glaser 2019;Skelcher and Smith 2015;Tavory, Prelat, and Ronen 2022).…”

Situational Orders: Interaction Patterns and the Standards for Evaluating Public Discourse

How do civic groups judge what issues are appropriate for public discourse? And how do they know what kinds of arguments to use where? Cultural sociologists identify varying “orders of worth,” that is, historically defined systems of typification and evaluation people draw on to evaluate public arguments. Yet it remains unclear how these take form in ongoing group practices. This article theorizes how groups’ ongoing interaction patterns, or “style,” typify social scenes to steer members toward distinct orders of worth in varying situations. As I argue, different typifications of public and private scenes condition the type of arguments members deem appropriate for public discourse, with meaningful implications for their politics. Combining style and orders of worth allows us to ask how ostensibly similar groups may publicly define different political goals and value varying forms of civic engagement. I illustrate this theoretical framework with an ethnographic study of two culturally distinct groups of libertarians in the United States.
