本文考虑了组织生活中的性别和管理身份，并以瑞典和英国高等教育近年来随着新公共管理的到来而发生的变化为背景来探讨这些问题。在回顾关于性别认同和组织/管理的文献时，这些文献已经从对差异的关注转变为对性别与组织之间复杂相互关系的研究，本文试图运用Alcoff和Melucci的工作见解来实现位置性的概念。本文认为，学术形态转换是学者在其学术生涯中发展起来的，也是对最近的管理改革的防御性和前瞻性反应。对最近的变化确定了若干指示性反应。他们是：压力教授、管理倡导者、行政贵族、偶然的女性、学术变色龙和坚决的研究者。由于社会个体在与他人的互动中，在特定的时间和不同的情况下，使用学术形状转换，因此得出的结论是，其含义表明大学生活特征变化的复杂性，处于中等位置的女性学者比男性同行面临更困难的妥协。
This article considers gender and managerial identities in organizational life, taking the recent change in higher education in Sweden and England with the coming of the new public management as the context in which to explore these issues. In reviewing the literature on gender identity and organization/management, which has moved from a pre-occupation with difference to an examination of the complex inter-relationship between gender and organization, an attempt is made to operationalize the concept of positionality, using insights from the work of Alcoff and Melucci. It is argued that Academic Shape Shifting is developed by academics during their time in academia, as well as in defensive and proactive response to the recent managerial reforms. A number of indicative responses to the recent changes are identified. These are: the Stressed Professor, the Managerial Advocate, the Administrative Patrician, the Accidental Female, the Academic Chameleon and the Resolute Researcher. As Academic Shape Shifting is used by social individuals in interaction with others, at particular moments in time and in different circumstances, it is concluded that the implications suggest complexity in the changing character of university life, with female academics in middle range positions facing more difficult compromises than their male counterparts.
