ABSTRACT
This chapter explains a qualitative empirical study conducted in Denmark in which several respondents expressed criticism of the prevailing culture of evaluation. It explains how to trace processes of disenfranchisement, which we might briefly define as processes which deprive contemporary employees of the ability to express criticism of their working conditions without fear of reprisal. It focuses on several respondents felt that the evaluations per se led to detrimental self-criticism and feelings of inadequacy. In Emprical study only oral group interaction was accounted for, that is, we paid no analytical attention to body postures, gesticulations. The moderator/researcher plays a vital part in trying to encourage this interaction. In our particular case, where the topic we wanted to study was the processes of disenfranchisement taking place within the working area of a specific professional group, the moderator was definitely significant. The gentle barbarism promotes a kind of continuous cultural revolution, which transforms the individual's ways of living, acting and thinking.
