摘要

The present study uses a qualitative–reconstructive research design to examine how school social workers in Saxony–Anhalt habitually adapt to their persistently atypical employment conditions and, thereby, whether and how they succeed in constituting a sense of purpose under these work-related circumstances. To this end, a praxeological and knowledge–sociological theoretical perspective on the concept of work appropriation is developed and then applied in research practice through eleven employment biographical interviews with school social workers from Saxony–Anhalt. The results allow for the empirical reconstruction of two habitual types of work appropriation: individualistic self-worth orientation, which emphasizes the personal value of one’s labor and an abstract integration into the workforce, and subversive social–value orientation, which, in contrast, interprets atypical employment conditions as a devaluation of their meaningful societal contribution and seeks recognition for their social value.
