Özet

This article analyzes the social construction of everyday life at workplace using the novel of Hakan Gunday about a touristic jewellery shopping center. It utilizes research propositions drawn from the theories of symbolic interactionism, structuradon and habitus. It is suggested that the results invite a need for rethinking the concepts of the Corrosion of Character by Sennett and of Zombie-Machine by Harding in the context of workplace studies. It is also concluded that the study provides a provocative but integrative understanding of the ideologies, paradigms, traditions and theories of action within a workplace generally and also specifically for the tourism industry within the context of structured agencies.
