The volume vivid, ethnographic reports focuses on the communication that helps workers manage the moral, social, and physical "stains" that derive from engaging in such occupations. The creative ways that those who perform such dirty work learn to communicate-and with outsiders-regulates the negative aspects of the work itself and emphases the positives so that workers can maintain a sense of self-value even while performing devalued occupations.Social construction of taintWorkSocial aspectsStigma (Social psychology)Occupational prestigeOccupationsPsychological aspectsWorkPsychological aspectsQuality of work lifeWorkSocial aspects.Stigma (Social psychology)Occupational prestige.OccupationsPsychological aspects.WorkPsychological aspects.Quality of work life.306.3/61Drew Shirley K1575585Mills Melanie1958-1575586Gassaway Bob M1575587MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910784292603321Dirty work3852655UNINA
