The complex process of work-life management combined with social and economic demands have created difficulties for many working mothers. Although ideologies about “good mothers” suggest that mothers should be constantly available for care work responsibilities, most mothers must also engage in paid work for family sustainability. Using what I call work-friendly child spaces, some privileged mothers have found locations that cater to both parenting and work, which enable them to sustain their careers while also engaging in the early years of parenting. Based on participant observation and interviews, I argue that although work-friendly child spaces accommodate work arrangements that are flexible and mobile, they ultimately reify deep structural inequalities and leave care work as primarily the responsibility of women.
复杂的工作生活管理过程,加上社会和经济需求,给许多职业母亲带来了困难。尽管关于“好母亲”的意识形态表明,母亲应该经常承担照顾工作的责任,但为了家庭的可持续性,大多数母亲也必须从事有偿工作。利用我所说的工作友好型儿童空间,一些享有特权的母亲找到了既能照顾父母又能照顾工作的地方,这使她们能够在从事早期育儿工作的同时维持自己的职业生涯。根据参与者的观察和采访,我认为,尽管有利于工作的儿童空间容纳了灵活和流动的工作安排,但它们最终具体化了深层次的结构性不平等,并使护理工作主要由女性承担。

Integrating Moral Outrage in Situational Crisis Communication Theory: A Triadic Appraisal Model for Crises 情境危机沟通理论中道德义愤的整合:危机的三元评估模型

This study uses moral outrage to create a triadic appraisal of crises for situational crisis communication theory (SCCT). The addition of moral outrage improves the theory with an eye toward enhancing its application to the practice of crisis communication. The authors argue that adding moral outrage resulted in a needed reconceptualization of the preventable crisis cluster in SCCT identified by earlier researchers. Moral outrage becomes a third factor stakeholders utilize to assess crisis threats along with (1) determining if the situation is negative and (2) evaluations of crisis responsibility. The results of the study indicate that the preventable crisis cluster should be treated as three distinct sub-clusters. We argue that this triadic appraisal of crisis threat improves SCCT theoretically and has implications for the practice of crisis communication.
本研究利用道德义愤为情境危机传播理论(SCCT)创建了一个三元危机评估。道德愤怒的加入改进了这一理论,目的是加强其在危机沟通实践中的应用。作者认为,增加道德愤怒导致了对早期研究人员确定的SCCT中可预防的危机集群的必要重新定义。道德愤怒成为利益相关者评估危机威胁的第三个因素,同时(1)确定情况是否消极,(2)评估危机责任。研究结果表明,可预防的危机集群应被视为三个不同的子集群。我们认为,这种对危机威胁的三元评估在理论上改进了SCCT,并对危机沟通的实践具有启示意义。

Granted Utility, a Proposal for the Rhetoric of Nonprofit Wrongdoing 授予的效用,非营利组织不当行为修辞的建议

This article explores the discourse of nonprofit wrongdoing through a thematic analysis of over 450 texts, including media coverage and organizational responses, surrounding four cases of nonprofit wrongdoing. These cases include theft, mismanagement of funds, lying about 9/11, and administering unintentional yet lethal doses of medication. The findings extend prior work on organizational rhetoric and propose the notion of granted utility – an assumed foundational view of the usefulness and underlying benefit of nonprofit organizations – as key for understanding nonprofit rhetoric. The findings suggest that recognizing granted utility allows organizations to focus on answering responsibility-focused questions of organizational legitimacy while maintaining utility-focused messages that reinforce granted utility when wrongdoing occurs.
本文通过对450多篇文本的主题分析,探讨了非营利组织不法行为的论述,包括媒体报道和组织回应,围绕四起非营利不法行为案件。这些案件包括盗窃、资金管理不善、谎报9/11事件以及服用非故意但致命的药物。这些发现扩展了先前关于组织修辞的工作,并提出了授予效用的概念——一种假设的非营利组织有用性和潜在利益的基本观点——作为理解非营利修辞的关键。研究结果表明,承认既定效用使组织能够专注于回答以责任为中心的组织合法性问题,同时保持以效用为中心的信息,在发生不法行为时强化既定效用。

Deific Figures and Human Bodies: Creating Hierarchies of Difference through the Incarnation of Moral Authority 神性与人体:通过道德权威的化身创造差异层次
IF 2.5 4区 管理学 Q2 COMMUNICATION Pub Date : 2022-12-22 DOI: 10.1177/08933189221145001

Religious communities have long affirmed the agency of their sacred texts and their God/gods, providing a unique site of study for research on ventriloquizing authority, textual agency, and the power of incorporeal figures like values or principles. This paper uses PraiseMoves, an Evangelical organization selling a “Christian alternative to yoga,” as a case study to develop the concept of deific agency. Deific agency is the agential power of incorporeal projections of moral authority. These projections mediate text-human relationships both in and beyond particular organizational contexts by imbuing visibly-privileged human bodies with moral authority. Deific figures can thus overwhelm textual agency by bonding with visibly-privileged bodies and thereafter organizing perceptions of moral authority in and beyond organizations in ways that disproportionately benefit physically-privileged human beings. This paper concludes by articulating the value of believing bodies for research and suggesting future avenues of inquiry.
宗教团体长期以来一直确认其神圣文本和上帝的能动性,为研究腹语权威、文本能动性和价值观或原则等无形人物的力量提供了一个独特的研究场所。本文以PraiseMoves,一个销售“基督教瑜伽替代品”的福音派组织为案例研究,来发展神智代理的概念。神的能动性是道德权威的无形投射的能动性。这些投射通过赋予明显享有特权的人体道德权威,在特定的组织环境内外调解文本人际关系。因此,神性人物可以通过与明显享有特权的身体建立联系,然后在组织内外组织对道德权威的感知,从而使身体享有特权的人不成比例地受益,从而压倒文本代理。本文最后阐述了信仰机构对研究的价值,并提出了未来的调查途径。

This study investigated dissent strategy selection as a product of structurational divergence (SD) and individuals’ lay theories of leader and follower roles. A survey of working adults (N = 338) revealed that employees who reported experiencing structurational divergence in their workplace were more likely to engage in circumvention, threatening resignation, and defensive silence. Analysis also indicated that employees with an active followership mindset were more likely to report engaging in prosocial and repetition dissent strategies. Meanwhile, they were less likely to report engaging in circumvention, threatening resignation, and defensive silence. Importantly, perceptions of SD were negatively associated with members’ implicit belief that a good follower is an active follower. Implications for structurational divergence theory, implicit theories of followership, and organizational dissent conclude the paper.
本研究调查了异议策略选择作为结构差异(SD)和个人关于领导者和追随者角色的谎言理论的产物。一项针对在职成年人的调查(N=338)显示,报告在工作场所经历结构分歧的员工更有可能进行规避、威胁辞职和防御性沉默。分析还表明,具有积极追随者心态的员工更有可能报告参与亲社会和重复异议策略。与此同时,他们不太可能报告参与规避、威胁辞职和防御性沉默。重要的是,对SD的认知与成员的内隐信念呈负相关,即一个好的追随者就是一个积极的追随者。对结构分歧理论、追随者隐含理论和组织异议的启示。

This study explores how visibilities are produced and managed, and how they transform the work of activists operating in repressive contexts. To advance emerging research, this study blends theoretical perspectives from visibility and activism research and builds on ethnographic methods and fieldwork in a non-profit organization. The contribution of the article to research at the intersection of visibility and activism is twofold: firstly, the article identifies the social and material agencies involved in the production of different dimensions of visibilities (mildly shaded and mostly shadowed). Secondly, the article shows how the three identified relational imbrications of agencies (encryption, obfuscation, and concealment) at times empower and undermine the efforts of both activists and oppressors. The findings provide novel insights concerning the (dis)empowering role of visibilities applicable to many collectives, corporations and institutions that rely on visibility management, as datafication is making it increasingly easy for behaviors to be seen.
这项研究探讨了可见性是如何产生和管理的,以及它们如何改变在镇压背景下运作的活动家的工作。为了推进新兴研究,本研究融合了可见性和行动主义研究的理论视角,并建立在非营利组织的人种学方法和实地调查的基础上。这篇文章对可见性和行动主义交叉点的研究有两方面的贡献:首先,文章确定了参与产生不同维度可见性(轻度阴影和大部分阴影)的社会和物质机构。其次,这篇文章展示了三种确定的机构关系重叠(加密、混淆和隐藏)有时是如何增强和破坏活动家和压迫者的努力的。这些发现提供了关于可见性(dis)赋权作用的新见解,适用于许多依赖可见性管理的集体、公司和机构,因为数据化使行为越来越容易被看到。

Communication Technology and Social Support to Navigate Work/Life Conflict During Covid-19 and Beyond 新冠肺炎及其后应对工作/生活冲突的通信技术和社会支持

Drawing on a national survey of 447 U.S. workers who transitioned to remote work during COVID-19, this study examined how different types of communication technologies (CTs) used for work and private life were associated with work/life conflicts and perceptions of social support across different relationship types (coworker, family, and friends). Findings indicated that work/life conflicts became aggravated when the use of CTs violated relational norms (e.g., mobile texting with coworkers and emailing with family and friends). On the other hand, uses of CTs that were perceived to offer access to social support (e.g., instant messaging with coworkers and friends) were related to lower work/life conflict. Social media (e.g., Facebook) had a direct relationship to higher work/life conflict, but an indirect relationship to lower work/life conflict through social support. Overall, findings suggest that individuals attempt to create work/life boundaries by selecting specific CTs when physical work/life boundaries are collapsed.
这项研究基于对447名在新冠肺炎期间过渡到远程工作的美国工人的全国性调查,研究了用于工作和私人生活的不同类型的通信技术(CT)如何与工作/生活冲突以及不同关系类型(同事、家人和朋友)对社会支持的看法相关。研究结果表明,当使用CT违反关系规范(例如,与同事发手机短信和与家人和朋友发电子邮件)时,工作/生活冲突会加剧。另一方面,使用被认为可以提供社会支持的CT(例如,与同事和朋友的即时消息)与降低工作/生活冲突有关。社交媒体(如Facebook)与较高的工作/生活冲突有直接关系,但通过社会支持与较低的工作/人生冲突有间接关系。总的来说,研究结果表明,当物理工作/生活界限崩溃时,个人试图通过选择特定的CT来创造工作/生活边界。

How Institutions Communicate Change: Casuistry and Loosely Coupled Change in China’s Market Transformation 制度如何沟通变革:中国市场转型中的诡辩与松耦合变革

How do institutions think about change? Building on Mary Douglas’s famous contention that institutions think by means of analogy, we suggest that institutions think about change by means of irony. Irony is pronounced during times of profound change when the rhetoric and the reality of change can be inconsistent. We show that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has enacted what we term loosely coupled change—change in which symbolic meanings and material practices are only weakly connected and retain their independence. The CCP employed the rhetorical form of irony, known as casuistry, to legitimize a change to market systems as being incremental while in practice radically adopting market systems and dismantling socialist practices. We contribute to research on institutional messaging by examining the hermeneutic depth of casuistry. We also contribute to research on organizational change by explicating how casuistry reconciles contradictory ideologies and facilitates loosely coupled change.
机构如何看待变化?基于玛丽·道格拉斯关于机构通过类比思考的著名论点,我们认为机构通过讽刺来思考变化。在深刻变化的时代,当修辞和变化的现实可能不一致时,讽刺就会出现。我们表明,中国共产党(CCP)已经实施了我们称之为松耦合的变革——在这种变革中,象征意义和物质实践只有微弱的联系,并保持了它们的独立性。中国共产党采用反讽的修辞形式,即诡辩,将市场体系的变化合法化为渐进的,而在实践中则从根本上采用市场体系并拆除社会主义实践。我们通过考察诡辩的解释学深度,为机构信息传递的研究做出贡献。我们还通过解释诡辩如何调和矛盾的意识形态和促进松散耦合的变化,为组织变革的研究做出了贡献。

Relational Balance in the Workplace: Exploring the Moderating Role of Organizational Commitment 工作场所的关系平衡:探索组织承诺的调节作用

This paper uses a diverse organizational sample to test portions of Heider’s (1946, 1958) balance framework. First, a review of balance theory is provided, and then theoretical relationships between relational balance and organizational outcomes (i.e., job satisfaction, unproductivity, and depressive symptoms) are explicated. Following this, the role of organizational commitment is also considered as a moderator of the aforementioned associations. In the main, the results of this investigation indicate that balance has a substantial, positive effect on job satisfaction. The results also indicate that balance combines non-additively with organizational commitment to impact results, such that the negative effects of balance on unproductivity and depressive symptoms are stronger when members are committed to their jobs. These findings point to the importance of considering the impact of relational patterns within organizations, as opposed to considering the impact of any one relationship in particular.
本文使用不同的组织样本来测试Heider(19461958)平衡框架的部分内容。首先,对平衡理论进行了综述,然后阐述了关系平衡与组织结果(即工作满意度、非生产性和抑郁症状)之间的理论关系。在此之后,组织承诺的作用也被视为上述协会的主持人。总的来说,这项调查的结果表明,平衡对工作满意度有着实质性的积极影响。研究结果还表明,平衡与组织对影响结果的承诺是非相加的,因此,当成员致力于工作时,平衡对非生产性和抑郁症状的负面影响更大。这些发现指出了考虑组织内关系模式的影响的重要性,而不是特别考虑任何一种关系的影响。

These findings point to the importance of considering the impact of relational patterns within organizations, as opposed to considering the impact of any one relationship in particular.","PeriodicalId":47743,"journal":{"name":"Management Communication Quarterly","volume":"37 1","pages":"572 - 598"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2022-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41320212","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examines employees at a metal fabrication plant and their experiences with a workplace wellness initiative, which included on-site CrossFit classes. Interviews with 16 workers and participant observation revealed d/Discourses that rationalized worker compliance and resistance to the wellness initiative. Through a discourse tracing analysis, the authors propose the novel concept of parallel ideal worker identities to describe how organizational d/Discourses (de)valued (a) blue-collar worker and (b) “healthy worker” identities. These d/Discourses created resistance to the wellness initiative because they made salient how the organization privileged the “healthy worker” identity over the traditionally constructed blue-collar worker identity through unobtrusive control.
这项研究调查了一家金属制造厂的员工及其在工作场所健康计划中的经历,其中包括现场的CrossFit课程。对16名员工的采访和参与者的观察揭示了d/话语,使员工对健康倡议的遵守和抵制合理化。通过话语追踪分析,作者提出了平行理想工人身份的新概念,以描述组织话语如何重视(a)蓝领工人和(b)“健康工人”身份。这些d/Discourses引起了对健康倡议的抵制,因为它们突出了该组织如何通过不引人注目的控制,将“健康工人”身份置于传统构建的蓝领工人身份之上。
