Sexuality, Power and Resistance in the Workplace

Peter Fleming

The Judge Business School, University of Cambridge, UK

This paper investigates whether the expression of sexuality in organizations represents an opportunity for employee resistance or increased management control. It draws upon an empirical study of a high-commitment culture programme that encouraged both heterosexual and homosexual discourses. The study reveals a complex scenario in which sexuality is simultaneously a facet of control, a site of empowerment and an object of resistance. It is suggested that a multilevelled conceptualization of power and resistance is required in order to untangle the complex political implications of sexuality and re-eroticization at work.

Key Words: culture management • control • justice • power • resistance • sexuality
