| Abstract: | This paper examines whether the expression of sexuality (here as: sex-ty.) in organizations represents an opportunity for employee resistance (here as: rst.) or increased management control. It is drawn on an empirical study of a high-commitment culture programme encouraging both heterosexual and homosexual discourses revealing a complex scenario in which sex-ty. is simultaneously a facet of control, a site of empowerment and an object of rst. It is suggested that a multi-levelled conceptualization of power and rst. is required to untangle the complex political implications of sex-ty. and re-eroticization at work. |
