Transformations in the Voluntary Labour Corps: A Case Study of Learning to Cope with Organisational changes
EN
The presented paper is a result of seeking an answer to the question about the way workers of the Voluntary Labour Corps (VLC) organize their time. The purpose of the authoress’s inquiry was to find and understand these activities, as well as to describe them as those that order life of a particular group of employees. The monographic method was applied, with Edward T. Hall’s concept of the two systems of time providing the theoretical basis of the research. The author came to the conclusion that the community in question organized their time by undertaking such activities as: popularizing information about the VLC as influenced by the events oh the past (which constitute the meaning of the macro-sequences); systematizing organizational events in accord with bureaucratically adopted convention of time as imposed by the institution documents (which constitute the essence of the micro-sequences); filling up local sequences with content full of nostalgia, interpretations and subjectivism, and weaving them from available VLC cultural artifacts with all their meanings and symbols. Such activities not only determine the course of the organizational life, but also make it more systematic, create the sense of predictability of the adopted social conventions, which, in turn, is supposed to strengthen the feeling of organizational safety.

The article is an etnographic study on coping by the means of constructing myths as a strategy used by men who attempt to improve their situation perceived as non-satisfactory or difficult. The opportunity to build practices of coping with the feeling of senselessness of one’s own actions, threatening changes, negative perception of oneself and the world can be, amongst others, fishing. What was discussed and analysed in the text is the meaning of difficult situations and practices of coping with them, as well as coping practices based on constructing the myth about fishing as a story about a constant and meaningful world.

In the article the Author presented the examples of employing constructivism in the analyses of social activities (in pedeutology and theory of organization) and she attempts to consider the direction of changes to counselling practice and theory in the context of a constructivist perspective. Constructivism is treated as a theoretical perspective, giving strong legitimacy to the new counsellor and the counselling activity itself. Counselling is demonstrated to be a social activity, which changes from an activity forcing a model of social reality and personal biography of the participant (counselling activity undertaken by the modernistic adviser) into being the practice allowing him or her to create and reconstruct the knowledge, to construct their own biography (counselling activity undertaken by the constructivist counsellor).
