| Abstract: | This article investigates the relations between management discourse and employee subjectivity in the process of organizational change on the basis of empirical study of doctors and nurses working in the British National Health Service (NHS). The authors suggest that attention should be paid to the spatial and temporal contexts within which generic discourses are received and understood in order to interpret the practices of subjectivity and power in organizational life. This should allow fresh insights to policy concerns in the NHS; to the understanding of the nature of work subjectivities; and to sociological understandings of organizational power. |
