Abstract:
Workplace interaction presents different sociopragmatic challenges for different groups. Expectations relating to the construction of a convincing professional identity differ radically in different socio-cultural contexts. Those who aspire to senior positions are faced with accomplishing the construction of an appropriately authoritative identity within a culturally constraining environment. For all New Zealanders this entails taking account of an aggressively egalitarian ethos. For Maori, the challenge involves enacting leadership in culturally appropriate ways within a wider institutional context with different cultural values and interactional norms. For skilled migrants attempting to find appropriate employment, the challenge involves constructing a convincing professional identity in an unfamiliar cultural context, while also attending to the relational expectations of their new colleagues in the organisations in which they are working. This paper draws on the extensive research of the Wellington Language in the Workplace Project to explore these issues. An evolving theoretical model provides a useful means of considering the institutional, cultural and interactional constraints within which participants engage at work.
