This paper focuses on the meaning of constructing and practicing rights to female factory workers in Dhaka, Bangladesh. In response to the dynamic relations of power and authorities, claiming rights for female factory workers often means to step out of the familiar social-cultural framework. In the uneven process of rights formation, participating in urban geopolitics, confrontations with gender order is inevitable. I describe how state policies and the influence of transnational capitalism have effects on shaping gender order. Also, various worker organizations, including local and transnational workers’ NGOs and trade unions, have deeply participated in the representation of rights. By assisting with mental and physical health care for workers to fulfill their motherhood responsibilities, these organizations consolidate connections between female workers. In this process, working experiences and personal lives are intertwined by the workers’ NGOs. By examining how dominant forces interplay and compete with one another, I point out that female factory workers in Bangladesh exercise their rights through various approaches and develop more empirical and relational concepts of rights. The ways female workers organize and claim their rights reflect the transformation of the social-cultural context of Bangladesh.

Although research of leadership and public service motivation (PSM) has been conducted in diverse cultural contexts, it remains understudied in Confucian Asia. The current study aims to examine how Confucian values influence PSM in the context of Vietnam and also attempts to investigate the mediating role of paradoxical leadership in this relationship. Integrating the culturally-endorsed implicit leadership theory (House, Hanges, Javidan, Dorfman, & Gupta, 2004) with the knowledge on the social process of PSM (Perry, 2000; Vandenabeele, 2007), this study proposes to examine whether Confucian values are positively related to paradoxical leadership and such leadership is also positively related to PSM. This prediction was tested using a sample of 206 public managers-public employee dyads, drawn from different government departments in Vietnam. The analytical data procedures were outlined by PROCESS macro for SPSS developed by Hayes (2013). Results provide support for the mediation model that Confucian values were found to be positively related to paradoxical leadership, which, in turns, exerted a positive impact on PSM. The findings of this study contribute to the understanding of the relationships between Confucian values, paradoxical leadership, and PSM in the public sector of Vietnam. The findings are potentially extended to the public management systems in other countries that share some similar Confucian values like Vietnamese do in Asia. In terms of the practical implications, the public managers should communicate the positive characteristics of Confucian values and practice the use of paradoxical leadership behaviors in order to increase PSM among public employees.
