How would you define “work-identity integrity violations”? Can you give some examples from the text of a work identity integrity violation? Do you have any examples from your own life? What is the best way to overcome work-identity integrity violations?
What will be an ideal response?
Definition: “work-identity integrity violations: an experienced mismatch between what physicians did and who they were.” Example from the text: The following quote illustrates how a first year intern had to perform many tasks that were not part of the intern’s initial expectations and identity:
An intern [first-year medical resident] is something like a secretary and a social worker and a physical therapist and an errand boy. You just take care of business as an intern. . . . That means you know—that means writing down hundreds of pages a day of text into different places—patients’ charts and forms. It is just an unbelievable pile of paperwork that somebody has to do. . . . The interns get left to do all that sort of crap. (Pratt et al., 2006, p. 243)
The students will need to give their own examples as well. Textbook discussion of how to solve these problems: Pratt and his colleagues discovered that the interns and residents had to do what they called identity customization to fit their identity to their actual job. In other words, the residents couldn’t change their work to match their naïve expectations about what doctors actually did, so they had to change their identity to match the reality. For example, they found that over time some residents began talking about being doctors in a more encompassing way that included caring for patients in wide variety of ways as a positive outcome—as being their ally, advocate, friend, guide, etc. These residents engaged in identity enrichment to broaden their understanding of what their professional identity encompassed. Other residents used a variety of other tactics to help them handle the work-identity violations.

Baker, a minor, entered into a 3-year contract with Adidas to wear its footwear for $20,000 in the first year of the contract and $25,000/year for each of the final 2 years. The agreement provided that any claim of Baker's arising out of the agreement, would be governed by the law of the Netherlands and settled by Amsterdam courts. On April 10, 2004, Baker turned 18 . On April 19, 2004, Adidas
sent another payment to Baker for $12,500, and in May, the company flew Baker to Portland to try a redesigned shoe. In Oct. 2004, Adidas International wired $12,500 to Baker, thus completing its contractual obligation to pay Baker a $25,000 endorsement fee for 2004 . Baker ended her athletic career because of a foot injury at about the same time Adidas completed its payment obligation. She then brought suit against Adidas in NC state court, alleging the shoes caused the injuries that ended her career. Adidas claims she must sue in the Netherlands under the contract. a. She need not sue in the Netherlands, because she entered into the contract when she was a minor and can disaffirm it. b. Since minors can disaffirm parts of the contract and affirm parts of the contract, she can disaffirm the forum selection clause and sue in North Carolina. c. She cannot disaffirm the contract, in whole or in part, because she ratified it by accepting the payments after she turned 18. d. She can disaffirm because a contract for the endorsement of goods is governed by the UCC.
