本文探讨了在宗教工作场所的妇女如何应对组织规范和要求谦虚的着装和行为，无论是隐含的和明确的。它比较了两个案例研究：在英国为信仰组织（FBO）工作的女性，以及为世俗组织工作的女性前往沙特阿拉伯工作，在那里，国家要求穿着端庄意味着穿长袍（2019年略有放松）。数据来自对43名女性的半结构化采访：21名从英国前往沙特阿拉伯，22名在英国FBO工作。报告审查了三个主题：女性如何适应端庄的着装形式，她们如何驾驭着装规定，以及她们如何协商习惯和真实性。这篇文章提出，在受宗教规范约束的工作场所，妇女的朴素着装应被理解为一种生活宗教实践的形式，并引发了惯习和真实性的困境。
This article explores how women in religious workplaces respond to organizational norms of and requirements for modest dress and behavior, both implicit and explicit. It compares two case studies: women working for faith-based organizations (FBOs) in the UK, and women working for secular organizations who travel for work to Saudi Arabia, where the state requirement to dress modesty meant wearing an abaya (slightly relaxed in 2019). Data come from semi-structured interviews with 43 women: 21 who travelled from the UK to Saudi Arabia and 22 who work in UK FBOs. It examines three themes: how women adapt to forms of modest dress, how they navigate dress regulation, and how they negotiate habitus and authenticity. The article proposes that women’s modest dress in workplaces governed by religious codes be understood as a form of lived religious practice and one that raises dilemmas of habitus and authenticity.
