ABSTRACT This paper explores why it is that so many of us regard virtual communication technologies as imperfect substitutes for co-present organisational interaction. In so doing, it invokes Durkheim’s concept of collective effervescence; that is, the bonding phenomenon experienced between people in physical proximity. Initially, ethnographic data are presented from a Scottish commune known as the Findhorn Foundation, where the word ‘energy’ is widely used by participants to describe the feelings associated with co-present interaction. Macrosocial data are then drawn from the ‘Return, Reimagine, Reinvent’ series of reports published by McKinsey & Co. which documents remote working experiences during the pandemic. Both data sets suggest that even in an era of advanced virtual connectivity, physical co-presence remains a prerequisite for collective effervescence. Furthermore, the data reveal that while virtual connections are useful for routine communication, our sense of collective effervescence must be periodically ‘recharged’ by means of intermittent physical assembly.

ABSTRACT Despite a growing interest in intersectional entrepreneurship studies investigating the interplay of privileged and disadvantaged identities, people with disabilities still appear to be a ‘forgotten minority’ in that field. Drawing on qualitative interviews with 29 entrepreneurs with disabilities (EWD), this study examines how differences are constructed by EWD when performing intersectional identity work at the crossroads of disability, gender, and entrepreneurship. The results revealed four overlapping strategies in response to different sources of identity threats, such as disability and gender threats: bracketing, reconciling, adjusting, and neglecting. While the identity work of EWD was informed by challenging dominant entrepreneurial discourse impregnated by ableism and hegemonic masculinity, simultaneously, othering was also used in crafting positive identities, which instead reproduced power-laden social differences.

ABSTRACT The article discusses the opinions and perceptions of knowledge workers in Italy concerning the shift to remote work during the first countrywide lockdown (March–May 2020) imposed to contain the Covid-19 outbreak. Prior to the pandemic, remote work arrangements in the Italian context were not common. Thanks to a set of 35 interviews to workers who experienced significant disruption to their usual working routine because of the health crisis, we show that a marked element of discovery of remote work characterizes their accounts, articulated across 3 dimensions: temporal organization of work and life, technology, and social relations. We argue that this experience was instrumental for many of them to learn that ‘another work routine is possible’, because of the opportunity to try out alternative arrangements in the management of tasks and responsibilities. Yet issues of work-life balance, together with managerial cultures anchored in pre-pandemic forms of organization, considerably affect this perception.

ABSTRACT This article analyses as series of archival documents called the Daily Occurrences of the Zoological Gardens of London. These pro formas were the institutional working texts that allowed authorial statements to appear concerning the organization of London Zoo, including: animal arrivals, departures, births, deaths, work, visitor figures and finance. The Daily Occurrences classified, described, and curated the frames which were constructed around the display animals at the zoo. By contextualizing and paying critical attention to these managerial pro formas, this article undertakes an interdisciplinary reading of overlooked texts that organized how animals and humans entered into and exited out from a system of living exhibition. This article addresses the research question: how were animals and humans organized at the zoo? By looking to how animals were organized at the zoo this article contributes to wider discussions found in organization studies regarding the visibility and status of what constitutes animal labour.

ABSTRACT Technology-driven workplace tracking is becoming increasingly widespread and normalized. However, experiences of the tracking practices and their impact on individual employees and employers are not fully understood. Eleven qualitative interviews investigated employees’ and employers’ subjective and affective perceptions and experiences of workplace tracking, finding that employees were ambivalent about being tracked, their divergent feelings affecting their actions and experiences, while employers emphasized the benefits, concerns and rationales of the practice. This research highlights the affective side of the tracking practice by revealing how employee and employer experiences and perceptions of workplace tracking are embodied in divergent ways, with meanings ascribed to technologies culturally situated, mediated by context, positionality and use. Recommendations are proposed for further research as well as a collective policy framework governing workplace tracking to address current tensions within a fairer organizational culture.

ABSTRACT The article reflects on moving workspaces into homes during and after the Covid-19-induced lockdown. In our qualitative research in India, we investigate the processes of place-making and redrawing of boundaries between paid and unpaid care work. Through interviews and autoethnographic reflections, we analyse the process of new workspace making. We examine the erasing of the home from the workspace where historical hierarchies of gender and caste mediated the (re) organising of work boundaries between paid knowledge and unpaid care work. The study is based in a context where social and physical infrastructure for paid knowledge work could not be assumed to be available in homes. The paper contributes to the literature on place-making with stories from a new context.

ABSTRACT Kuuki-wo-yomu (KWY) holds particular importance in Japanese society. Literally meaning ‘reading the air,’ KWY refers to attitudinal and behavioral patterns that Japanese exhibit in social groups. Noting its conceptual importance, the study intends to theorize KWY. Adopting the contextualization approach, the study explains the emergence and its structure of KWY through a thorough investigation of Japanese society and organization. A three-stage survey was conducted on 158 Japanese employees and analysis of the results indicates that KWY is perceived as an important capability. Specifically, KWY is composed of three subdimensions: (1) perception, comprising the awareness of one’s surroundings, including people, norms and rules, and implicit social contexts; (2) attitude, comprising consideration, conformity, responsibility, and maintenance of harmony; and (3) behavior, comprising flexibility, cooperation, and proactivity. This study’s novel research approach has theoretical and practical implications, and we hope it will foster follow-up studies to develop Japan-grounded behavioral concepts and theories.
Kuuki wo yomu（KWY）在日本社会中占有特殊的地位。KWY的字面意思是“阅读空气”，指的是日本人在社会群体中表现出的态度和行为模式。注意到它在概念上的重要性，本研究打算将KWY理论化。本研究采用语境化的方法，通过对日本社会和组织的深入调查，解释了KWY的产生及其结构。对158名日本员工进行了三阶段调查，结果分析表明，KWY被视为一项重要能力。具体而言，KWY由三个子维度组成：（1）感知，包括对周围环境的感知，包括人、规范和规则以及隐含的社会语境；（2） 态度，包括考虑、顺从、责任和维护和谐；（3）行为，包括灵活性、合作性和主动性。本研究新颖的研究方法具有理论和实践意义，我们希望它能促进后续研究，以发展基于日本的行为概念和理论。

ABSTRACT This research analyses textual and visual representations of immigrants in government-produced texts and investigates how such depictions aid in the production of the stranger discourse. How immigrants are discussed and portrayed has an impact on how immigrant populations are perceived and treated in their host countries. By using postcolonial theory and conducting a Foucauldian critical discourse analysis (CDA), we analyse argumentative strategies through which the host and immigrant populations are portrayed, and how the politics of difference is constructed and normalized. We critically evaluate such representations for their discursive functions which contribute to immigrants’ socio-economic marginalization and racialization.
