Abstract

In this paper we analyse cultural processes through an alternative and combined theoretical and methodological framework. We use the distinctive theoretical lens of organizational habitus to explore the negotiation of culture within a sports charity. Our contribution here is to provide analysis borne both out of theoretical novelty and by adopting a practical application of this in context. Ethnographic data collection drew upon several tools which upon a retrospective analysis took place. Findings suggest that the cultural and expressive elements prioritized by the collective of individuals enhance practices which are deemed important, while resisting practices that are deemed to be incompatible with a perceived worldview concerning the operations of the charity. This novel lens, considered from our emic perspective has the potential to enhance our understanding of organizational culture, leading to practical, context-appropriate findings that reveal how sometimes innocuous aspects of organizational life can influence collective action.

摘要

在本文中，我们通过一个替代的、组合的理论和方法框架来分析文化进程。我们使用组织习惯这一独特的理论视角来探索体育慈善机构中的文化谈判。我们在这里的贡献是提供分析，既源于理论新颖性，又在上下文中采用实际应用。人种学数据收集利用了几种工具，这些工具是在回顾性分析后进行的。研究结果表明，个人集体优先考虑的文化和表达元素增强了被认为重要的做法，同时抵制了被认为与有关慈善机构运营的感知世界观不相容的做法。这款新颖的镜头，
