Abstract: Abstract As the transformations in the Bank continue the tensions between the traditional and contemporary ways are experienced by the workers. New types of workers appear as the Bank focuses on development and education programmes. These programmes fuel new ideas from outside and introduce new ways within the organisation. Over time many of the decentralised opportunities become recentralised and once again new pressures are felt on the workers as they negotiate their identities. Careers are no longer husbanded and workers become individualised and professionalised, taking on aspects of the traditional professional occupation. This individualisation is spurred on by new goal-based performance management that pitches colleagues against each other.
