本研究采用了福柯的女权主义透镜来分析如何组织和性别话语相当字面上写在妇女的身体的方式，往往限制妇女的职业身份。对19名职业妇女进行了访谈，了解她们对专业机构的定义和经验。采访数据总结为以下三个新兴且有说服力的主题：（1）专业机构是一个健康的机构;（2）专业机构（有目的地）通过身体举止、非语言行为和表现发出信号和信息。因此，身体被认为是一个文本阅读;和，（3）一个职业妇女的身体被定位为过度）性。控制女性身体的任务变得更加困难，因为女性身体有溢出的趋势。无纪律的、过度的身体指向了女性身体的他者性。这三个主题表明了职业女性的身体是如何在组织环境中正常化和变得温顺的。此外，访谈数据表明，男性和女性都是纪律主义者。最后，讨论了女性的具体职业身份的政治含义，并提出了未来的研究方向。
This study employs a Foucauldian feminist lens to analyze how organizational and gendered discourses are quite literally written upon women's bodies in ways that often constrain women's professional identities. Nineteen professional women were interviewed about their definitions and experiences of their professional bodies. The interview data are summarized in the following three emergent and telling themes: (1) a professional body is a fit body; (2) a professional body (purpose-fully) emits signs and messages through bodily comportment, nonverbal behaviours, and performances. Thus, the body is conceived as a text to be read; and, (3) a professional woman's body is positioned as excessively) sexual. The task of controlling the female body is made more difficult because the female body has a tendency to overflow. The undisciplined, excessive body points to the female body's otherness. These three themes indicate how professional women's bodies are normalized and made docile in organizational contexts. Additionally, the interview data imply that both men and women are disciplinarians. Finally, the political implications of women's embodied professional identities are discussed and future research directions are presented.
