Even though flexibility, insecurity and precarity characterise much of today’s work, the promise of self-realisation through work remains as powerful as ever. Following Weeks’ work on the post-Fordist work ethic and Hochschild’s research on feeling rules, this article analyses how young women negotiate the post-Fordist work ethic and its emotional obligations. Drawing on interviews with 39 young women studying in the care and media fields in Finland, the article proposes the conceptualisation of post-Fordist feeling rules as a way to capture how young women become workers by managing contemporary work’s emotional requirements and contradictions. This article adds to the sociology of youth and labour in the post-Fordist era by foregrounding the role of feelings in the production of youth as workers and unpacking the post-Fordist work ethic’s gendered, industry-specific and emotional dimensions.

学习后福特主义的感觉规则：年轻女性的工作取向和职业道德的协商

尽管灵活性、不安全感和不稳定是当今大部分工作的特点，但通过工作实现自我的承诺仍然一如既往地强大。继 Weeks 对后福特主义职业道德的研究和 Hochschild 对情感规则的研究之后，本文分析了年轻女性如何协商后福特主义的职业道德及其情感义务。通过对在芬兰护理和媒体领域学习的 39 名年轻女性的采访，文章提出了后福特主义情感规则的概念化，以此来捕捉年轻女性如何通过管理当代工作的情感需求和矛盾而成为工人。
