Abstract: Regulation by outputs, the creation of new markets, increasing performance demands on the individual – governance regimes are undergoing extensive change and re-shaping the context of work and performance. Based on three studies within the fields of education, care for the elderly and creative industries, this article addresses employees’ experiences in a changing work environment. This research identifies four comprehensive tendencies across the three fields: tensions due to contradictions between organisational expectations and the employees’ professional self-concepts, changing mechanisms of control and accountability, an increase in symbolic work, and simultaneously changing discourses and practices of professionalisation and de-professionalisation. We discuss how these transformations shape the three fields and how they influence individuals’ perception of just work and performance.
