| Abstract: | This ethnographic study of interpretations of stress among hospital social workers reveals concrete ways in which institutional systems take form in the mundane mundane actions and interpretations of individuals embedded in these systems. It also reveals how organizational cultures reflect and reinforce institutional conditions that have been negotiated in the interactions of individuals. Here, the institutional systems of medicine and social work come together in the everyday work of the social workers and result in two patterns of cultural dominance. |
