“Dirty Work”

Join the Washington, D.C. chapter of the Labor and Employment Relations Association (DC LERA) for lunch and a fascinating discussion of “dirty work” with Professor Mark Clark!

Dirty work refers to occupations that are viewed by society as physically, socially, or morally tainted. Dr. Mark Clark and colleagues (Ashforth, Kreiner, Clark, & Fugate) [2017]) investigated how taint may be actively countered or rendered less salient by managerial intervention.”
