本研究以电视、唱片、杂志三大文化产业为研究对象，探讨受访者对工作环境的感受与情绪反应。通过对一系列工人的半结构化访谈，它探讨了以下领域的工作条件和经验：工资，工作时间和工会;不安全和不确定性;社交，网络和孤立。我们的研究表明，在我们研究的所有三个行业中，体验充其量是高度矛盾的。我们发现了恐惧和焦虑的迹象。基于以前的研究，特别是对IT工作者的研究，我们还发现了工人对许多文化工作的自由和自主性的复杂反应。快乐和义务以一种具有挑战性的方式变得模糊不清。在这些行业中，对社交和网络的期望也是一些矛盾心理的对象，一些工人报告说有孤立感。这些发现表明，创意产业政策对创意工作者的经验重视不够。(C)2009爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
This article investigates the experiences and emotional responses of interviewees to their working conditions in three cultural industries (the television industry, the recording industry and the magazine industry). Via semi-structured interviews with a range of workers, it explores working conditions and experiences in the following areas: pay, working hours and unions; insecurity and uncertainty; socialising, networking and isolation. Our research suggests that experiences are at best highly ambivalent, across all three of the industries we studied. We found evidence of feelings of victimisation and anxiety. Building on previous research, especially that carried out on IT workers, we also discerned complicated responses on the part of workers to the freedom and autonomy characteristic of much cultural work. Pleasure and obligation become blurred in a challenging way. Expectations of sociability and networking in these industries were also the object of some ambivalence, and some workers reported feelings of isolation. These findings suggest that creative industries policy has paid insufficient attention to the experiences of creative workers. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
