非体面工作对其从业者工作意义感的影响机制

irty work refers to occupations or job tasks that are physically, socially or morallytainted, and thus are perceived by its practitioners as disgusting and degrading. Dirty workpractitioners sense of meaning at work has always been a topic of interest for scholars. Existingresearch has primarily explored, from an individual or in-group perspective, how dirty workpractitioners work-group culture or occupational ideology, as well as their normalizationstrategies, influence the construction of the meaning of work. However, limited attention has beenpaid to the relational and symbiotic dimensions of meaning construction. Moreover, how theboundary conditions of social support that contributes to these processes remain largelyunder-explored. To bridge these research gaps, we adopt a social support perspective and drawupon the four-quadrant framework of meaning-making, which is characterized by the axes of agency - communion and self - other, to propose a conceptual model that delineates bothindividual and interpersonal mechanisms through which dirty work practitioners constructmeaning of their work. The anticipated contributions of this research lie in offering a morecomprehensive understanding of how practitioners engaged in dirty work derive meaning fromtheir work, thereby providing practical insights for enhancing dirty work employees meaningfulwork experiences through the management of intrapersonal and relational factors.
