ABSTRACT
The concept of 'work' is changing and the boundaries between work and non-work spaces, times, and activities have already become blurred. Although, for workplace discourse analysts, 'the organisation' often remains under-theorised, it provides the context within which employees operate and negotiate identities as organisational practices. Organisations have turned multinational and multilingual and organise activity around teams cutting across areas of expertise and experience. The specifics of the change, evidently, depend on the different localities and the characteristics of the relevant various political and economic contexts within which organisations operate. The increased complexity of tasks underscores the importance of training the workforce to respond to the demands of the environment. Sharing the view that an organisation is constructed through and in discourse, research has addressed the complex processes by which the workplace is being reconstructed and redefined through micro and macro discourses.
