Abstract
Die Untersuchung dekonstruiert die psychosozialen Kostenstrukturen der operativen Verkehrssteuerung unter Bedingungen systemischer Mangelverwaltung. Im Zentrum steht die „Habitus-Behauptung": Hochqualifizierte Akteure kompensieren strukturelle Defizite durch massive psychische Selbstregulation (Ego-Depletion). Die Analyse belegt, dass der professionelle Habitus – symbolisiert durch das Tragen eines Sakkos inmitten technischer Dysfunktionalität – als notwendiger „symbolischer Widerstand" fungiert, um die funktionale Integrität gegen die Normalisierung der Devianz zu verteidigen.

| Translated abstract: | Abstract Language The present study deconstructs the psychosocial cost structures of operational traffic control under conditions of systemic scarcity management. As a direct follow-up to the theoretical exploration of the 'Paradox of Functional Exhaustion,' this analysis deepens the sociological dimension of professional identity preservation. At the core is the 'Habitus Assertion': highly qualified actors compensate for structural deficits through massive psychological self-regulation (ego depletion). The analysis demonstrates that in an eroding environment, the professional habitus—symbolized by wearing a jacket amidst technical and personnel dysfunctionality—functions as a necessary 'symbolic resistance' and identity-political orthopedics. This conscious distinction serves to defend functional integrity and moral agency against the creeping normalization of deviance within high reliability organizations (HRO). English |
