| Abstract: | A tale of fieldwork in a small organization is discussed in this article with a view to highlighting how social processes, cultural understandings and expressions of gender are produced during fieldwork interaction. The tale is told reflexively and retrospectively, recording an ongoing conversation about fieldwork experience. Central to the tale is discussion of how the researcher is drawn into 'culture-making' within the organization and the ways in which fieldwork interaction creates a 'space' through which organizational members engage with, work through and realize workplace values. In this article there are multiple levels of reflection. At one level it is examined how the organizational-researcher role of 'emotional nurturer' was constructed during fieldwork. |
