“…Approximately 12500 of these worked in visual arts, illustration or arts and craft (Konstnärsnämnden 2016) . 2 One exception is the analysis of how artists manage underemployment by holding multiple jobs, see Lindström 2016;Throsby and Zednick 2011. 3 Visual artists are, as occupational category, particularly exposed to occupational risk.…”

“…As insecurity over success, as well as failure, is a common feature of creative careers (Fürst 2016;Mathieu 2012;McRobbie 2016;Menger 1999 2 ), there is a need for a deeper understanding of coping strategies in the world of creative work (McRobbie 2016). One common strategy to manage career insecurity among artists has been found to be multiple job holding to secure income (Baumol and Bowen 1966;Lindström 2016;Throsby and Zednick 2011). In contrast to such analyses, this article will outline how artists manage vocational insecurity and prospects of (non-)success by using emotional work, specifically through expressions of hope, trust and luck.…”

This article explores how contemporary Swedish visual artists manage and make sense of career insecurity through emotion work. The specific emotions discussed in the material are trust, hope and luck. Emotion work is related to coping in an increasingly insecure world of work in late modern capitalism, which has been theorized as relying on the creativity, passion and subjectivity of workers. Through analysing what the artists anticipate of their future careers, the study found the main desire of the artists to be the continuation of their creative endeavour-an endeavour not necessarily related to professional success but rather to identity formation. This understanding of success forms part of two overarching discourses found in the material: art as non-work discourse and the art world as arbitrary discourse, which both relate to certain emotional work when failing/succeeding to uphold the artistic creation. The prestigious arts education of the respondents is analysed as part of sustaining hope of continuation when future career prospects seem grim. Trust and luck are analysed as emotion work in relation to having experiences of success, even though the art world is discursively framed as arbitrary. The concluding argument of the article is that understanding emotion work in relation to the insecure or even failed career can shed light on resources related to social position rather than properties of the individual psyche.

“…Transitionals represent a rather diverse group of agency workers who are motivated to find work through TWAs because it is either instrumental in a professional transition or a way back into the labor market. The second group, sidebets, comprises workers who use work obtained through the TWA as a means of breadwinning to support other pursuits, such as other professional careers (Lindstrøm 2016) or leisure activities, or to improve their work-life balance. Lifers represent those workers who are attracted to the flexible nature of TWA employment affiliation or for various other reasons prefer this type of attachment to the labor market over standard employment.…”

Research suggests that migrants have a greater tendency to end up in nonstandard employment arrangements than native citizens do, but less attention has been paid to motivational differences within and between migrant groups. On the basis of a survey of temporary agency workers in Norway, we investigate the effect of different country backgrounds on the perceived suitability of nonstandard employment (NSE) at present and in the future. For the perceived current suitability, we find less variation between country backgrounds, but Norwegian workers are much less likely to accept NSE as suitable in the future. An ordinal regression shows that motivation (positive and negative) rather than country background is the strongest predictor of finding NSE employment suitable. As such, the article contributes to understandings about voluntary or involuntary motivations to engage in NSE in a way that informs discussions about migrants in different power positions in a Nordic labor market context.

“…Kepribadian dan karakter guru yang matang dan kokoh dapat menjadi teladan dan menjadi sumber inspirasi bagi siswanya (Nursyamsi, 2014). Identitas dan perilaku kerja secara ideal perlu mengadopsi etika sebagai gaya hidup untuk membentuk hal positif (Linstrom, 2016). Guru yang baik mendorong siswa untuk berperilaku baik dan memberikan layanan terbaik untuk masyarakat, sementara guru pemarah akan mengarahkan sisw a melakukan penyimpangan dalam perilakunya (Rahrovan, 2016).…”
