本文藉比較男、女護士從事情境管理所得的不同評值，討論其中 的性別涵義，說明這是一份性別化的工作。我們發現，情境管理雖對 女同仁是隱藏性的工作，卻在男護士執行時，因得享其中所蘊涵之男 性意義，不但占有工作上的優勢，並且邊工作邊做成他們的男性別。 回應性別角色理論，性別中立說是徐宗國2001 年發表之論文的 基調；然而檢視更多田野資料後，顯示出其中若干的疏漏。本文擬加 以回應並更進一步，在理論性抽樣原則下蒐集與分析護士執行這份任 務時的互動與情境資料，從中歸納出在女性為主之互動服務業裡，男 性享優勢的三種工作情境，並類推此一原則到其他類似職業裡的兩性關係。

This study presents a micro-analysis of what nurses really do at work by comparing female and male nurses’ work experiences, by using the grounded theory approach. Our findings are as follows: (1) Nurses do situation management rather than feminizing care or caring at work; (2) The generic nature of situation management in nursing has two attributes: control and invisibility; (3) There are gender differences in nursing styles of situation management; (4) Male nurses do situation management at work as a display of their masculinity, especially under three types of structural conditions outlined in this paper. Situation management is part of the invisible task male nurses do at work; they are doing gender while doing work.
