SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Reconceiving Merit and Devotion at Work\, with Evidence-Based Illustrations from Academic Careers
DESCRIPTION:Reconceiving Merit and Devotion at Work\, with Evidence-Based Illustrations from Academic Careers\n\nThis paper draws on research to argue that the cultural schema of work devotion – the cognitive\, emotional and moral understanding of work as a calling and an ostensible marker of merit– promises a workplace community and a sense of purpose. These rewards are consistent with the biological propensity for social connections\, which can help protect our physical and mental health. However\, the benefits of work devotion are not equally available to all socio-demographic groups. Further\, the work devotion mandate can feel coercive\, justify overwork\, deplete engagement with family and community\, and lead to moral distress. The paper presents evidence from the exemplar case of academic science to illustrate how small\, locally led changes in the department\, framed as consistent with professional values of merit and devotion\, could allow scholars to benefit more equally from the work devotion schema while also mitigating some of its detriments.
