Career in a modern society – between subject and structure (an interpretation of A. Giddens’ theory)
Abstract
This article is an attempt to restore a theoretical perspective proposed in the theory of structuration
by A. Giddens. Giddens’ theory emphasizes the mutual infl uence of individual subjects’
activities and of more than individual structures, as well as the meaning of at least partially
uninhibited individual actions. Referring to careers, the author looks for answers to the question
about the way of creating, transforming and replicating structures (of an organization) through
a subject’s actions. The author also relates to the questions about the nature of a structure (an organization),
that is “an entity”, which, at the same time enables and restricts actions of individual
subjects. Without a doubt, the work of A. Giddens constitutes a clear renaissance of the subject
of structure and subjectivity in sociological theory. It also gives tools to overcome a division into
micro and macro practice; that is why it may also constitute one of the important attempts to
formulate a novel understanding of the notion of career.
