Abstract

Part of our very identity and our sense of self-worth may be derived from our work. As part of the larger exchange relationship, ideological exchanges are characterized by perceived obligations to support speci c causes or ethical principles (Blau, 1964; ompson & Bunderson, 2003). For example, in 2002 Professor Bernard Amadei started Engineers Without Borders USA (EWB-USA) a er he and eight engineering students, working with a local community, installed a sustainable and lowcost clean water system in San Pablo, Belize. In 8 years, EWB-USA has grown to 12, 000 members with more than 350 projects in more than 45 developing countries (Engineers Without Borders, 2011). The work that is done by the many engineers and other professionals (e.g., anthropologists, sociologists) provides a source for ideological elements that enhance their identity and sense of self-worth. It is the ideological elements of exchange relationships that are the focus of this chapter.
