Sociologists have long known that wages are not all that attract highly skilled workers to jobs. Identity rewards in organizations of work are opportunities for workers to affirm valued identities. Past research has found that workers who value these rewards will protect them when they are threatened. Other scholars have shown that managers can use identity rewards to control and elicit cooperation from workers. Another body of scholarship has explored how gendered assumptions and expectations are built into organizations of work. Based on 2 years of field research and 18 interviews with games industry professionals, my research unites these lines of inquiry, by examining how gendered identity rewards entice game developers for game developers to forgo higher wages and more stable conditions in other areas of software development, reinforcing both exploitive class relations and a culture hostile to marginalized workers.

同意的代价：游戏行业的身份工资

社会学家早就知道，工资并不是吸引高技能工人工作的全部因素。工作组织中的身份奖励是工人确认有价值身份的机会。过去的研究发现，重视这些奖励的工人会在受到威胁时保护他们。其他学者已经表明，管理者可以使用身份奖励来控制和引起员工的合作。另一组学术研究探讨了性别假设和期望是如何融入工作组织的。基于 2 年的实地研究和对游戏行业专业人士的 18 次采访，我的研究将这些调查线结合起来，通过研究性别认同奖励如何吸引游戏开发者，让游戏开发者放弃更高的工资和在其他软件开发领域更稳定的条件，
