| 요약 | How does taking the strip club as a case for organizational analysis enrich our outstanding of the industry and organizational literature more broadly? Although ample research on stripping and strip clubs exists, there have been no previous attempts to address the industry through an organizational lens. Further, although organizational scholars have shown renewed interest in topics such as controversial industries, strip clubs continue to remain absent as a focus. Using qualitative data composed of interviews with industry insiders, ethnographic observation, news reports, previous research, and other sources, the current project traces the strip club industry's attempts to manage and project legitimacy over time, with special attention paid to four of its most difficult historical and contemporary challenges, including state intervention, the negative secondary effects doctrine, Fair Labor Standards Act lawsuits, and associations with human trafficking. Additionally, project data are used to make a theoretical argument for the utility of a new type of legitimacy criterion (geographic legitimacy) based on the amendment of an existing one (territorial legitimacy). Findings show that industry insiders have used a multitude of techniques to manage and project industry legitimacy while navigating different challenges over time. While many mainstream strategies of legitimation were used by the industry, its unique history has led to the utilization of arguably less savory methods as well. Additionally, findings suggest that while industry insiders have attempted to represent strip clubs as legitimate, decoupling between industry rhetoric and behavior exists, and further, there may be limits to the value of legitimacy for the industry in some contexts. As a whole, these findings suggest that controversial industries such as the strip club industry are a fruitful focus for organizational scholars and, more broadly, that combining seemingly disparate literatures can refine theory and produce novel concepts. The current study fills these gaps by merging these two literatures, illuminating the strip club industry in a way previously not done, and expanding organizational concepts and theory based on a novel application. |
