Collaborative organising is known to burn like a rocket: it thrives on intense passion, relationality and creativity but quickly falls into pieces. This article explores the underestimated role of events and their affective atmospheres to sustain collaborative work. Drawing insights from two ethnographic field studies within an open-source software community and a network of impact entrepreneurs, we introduce the notion of ‘polyrhythmic affectivity’ at the core of polycentric governance. It encapsulates how frictional reverberances between three atmospherically experienced affective intensities – togetherness, dissonance and mutuality – are able to maintain emergent yet enduring order. We argue that the collective motivational force of collaborative organising, can be stabilised through a process of ‘affective commoning’ to sustain collaborative atmospheres as shared creative resources.

Chief executive officer (CEO) activism literature primarily explores issues in which CEOs engage, and its consequences for consumers and employees. However, a glaring gap lies in how CEOs engage in activism, particularly, through social media. Our study aims to bridge this gap by analyzing the online identity of Luciano Hang, a Brazilian CEO, activist, and billionaire, focusing on the crafting of Hang’s online identity, particularly on Instagram, using five personal branding mechanisms to influence broad sociopolitical issues. Hang’s unique case offers a lens for right-wing CEO activism, contrasting with mostly progressive cases in the western contexts. Using critical visual analysis to decode the Instagram content posted by Hang, who actively advocates for political conservatism, entrepreneurism, and economic liberalism, we find that CEO activists do not merely speak on specific issues, but carefully construct their online identity aligning with or challenging social norms and values. Our research extends the understanding of CEO activism by revealing its heterogeneous nature and connecting organization studies and marketing, in addition to demonstrating how CEOs can leverage personal branding to portray themselves as activists.
首席执行官(CEO)行动主义文献主要探讨 CEO 参与的问题及其对消费者和员工的影响。然而,在首席执行官如何参与激进主义,尤其是通过社交媒体参与激进主义方面,存在着明显的差距。我们的研究旨在通过分析巴西首席执行官、活动家和亿万富翁卢西亚诺-杭(Luciano Hang)的网络身份来弥补这一空白,重点关注杭的网络身份,尤其是在 Instagram 上的身份,利用五种个人品牌机制来影响广泛的社会政治问题。杭的独特案例为右翼首席执行官的行动主义提供了一个视角,与西方语境中大多数进步的案例形成鲜明对比。我们利用批判性视觉分析来解码杭州市积极倡导政治保守主义、企业家精神和经济自由主义的人在Instagram上发布的内容,发现CEO活动家并不只是就具体问题发表言论,而是精心构建自己的网络身份,与社会规范和价值观保持一致或提出挑战。我们的研究揭示了首席执行官行动主义的异质性,并将组织研究与市场营销联系起来,从而扩展了对首席执行官行动主义的理解,此外还展示了首席执行官如何利用个人品牌塑造将自己塑造成行动主义者。

How do individuals who engage in high-risk work deal with the existential threats that are part and parcel of their daily activities? Based on a qualitative study of fighter pilots, we find that experiences and responses to existential threats are shaped by three intersubjective processes, that is, socially constructed and accepted patterns of interactions by which individuals come to view existential threats as one of several challenges of their work, something that is common yet unremarkable. These processes draw from and impinge upon cherished social identities to inculcate in individuals: (1) a preoccupation with performance as a precondition for continued membership, thereby crowding out death anxiety; (2) a willingness to withstand no-holds barred collective scrutiny, thereby keeping their egos under check, and enhancing learning and safety; and (3) a view of death as a commonplace and therefore unremarkable facet of their activities. The contribution of our study is to illuminate the intersubjective processes implicated in the development of social identities that enable individuals in high-risk work to function effectively despite the existential threats they face.

Studies of meaningful work have proposed that work that holds personal significance and meaning can transcend pay. But how can workers who do not want, or cannot afford, to sacrifice pay for meaning commercialise their work to realise its market worth? We explore this question in the context of social media influencers who participated in the InfluencerPayGap community (an Instagram profile established in 2020 to expose pay disparities in the influencer industry). Combining concepts of worth from the meaningful work literature with a sociological theory of valuation, we identify three enrichment narratives engaged with by influencers to circumvent expectations of performing free labour. Besides illuminating how influencers construct and connect the personal worth of their work with its market worth, we show how these narratives of authenticity, relationality and quantification involve a ‘double loop of enrichment’. Consisting in the interplay between influencers’ own sense of the worth of their work and feedback from their followers and the algorithms of social media platforms, this loop can reinforce and transform but also undermine influencers’ perceptions of the worth and meaning of their work. Our findings contribute to a greater understanding of meaningful work and the valuation of work in non-traditional work contexts.

Surely a leader should know what to do? But what happens when complexity means they cannot know which path to take? We answer this question with an ethnographic study of distributed leadership (DL) in an organisation grappling with inherent tensions within its mission. The article makes a counter-intuitive argument for the value and utility of unknowingness, defined as a state of awareness of both an absence of knowing and one’s inability to know. Three inter-related aspects to unknowingness are developed – acceptance of not knowing, tolerance of the discomfort of not knowing, and distribution of unknowingness – leading to an innovative theory of unknowingness. We reveal how unknowingness and DL are bound with each other in the sense that not knowing can enable distribution of leadership within the organisation, whilst DL addresses challenges in complex organisations associated with not knowing. We thereby provide an illustration of the interplay between those with hierarchical authority and others dispersed throughout an organisation. In sum, we provide an alternative perspective to the heroic, all-knowing individual leader.

In the developing economy of Bangladesh, local factory owners in the garment industry have felt great pressure to improve factory safety, but the costs for those improvements are not shared by the global apparel firms that wield immense influence over them. Consequently, we examine whether multi-stakeholder initiatives (MSIs), as vehicles of corporate social responsibility (CSR), offer platforms for democratic oversight or merely serve as new arenas to exercise corporate power. Given their role in connecting global and local contexts and their history of safety incidents, local factory owners possess a unique perspective on the impact and contested nature of CSR in global supply chains. This article presents a qualitative study of MSIs in the Bangladesh garment industry, particularly after the Rana Plaza collapse. Through interviews with local factory owners and executive managers, we explore the reasons behind their opposition to CSR as exercised by global apparel firms, and the contestation of those practices by their local business association. Our findings lead us to conclude that garment industry MSIs are unlikely to be effective without labor procurement practices that harmonize global and local interests to mitigate the competitive pressures on local factory owners.

A herniation is the abnormal protrusion of an organ or other body structure through a defect or natural opening in a covering membrane, muscle, or bone. The parotid gland is the largest of the salivary glands, which is situated below the external acoustic meatus and overlaps the masseter muscle anteriorly. In this rare case report, a 35 years old female patient complained of pain in the cheek region for 3 years and gave a history of pain aggravating while having sour food. On palpation, multiple nodules were found bilaterally in the cheek area which was tender. Ultrasonography of the masseter and parotid region showed herniation of the lower lobe of the parotid gland into the masseter muscle which is 1 cm on the right side and 0.8 cm on the left side. The findings obtained from ultrasound images were further confirmed with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).

Videonystagmography (VNG) is useful and reliable in diagnosing vertigo. Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is the most common peripheral vestibular disorder in adults, and posterior canal is the commonest canalinvolved. The treatment of choice for posterior canal BPPV is repositioning manoeuvres. Epley and Semontmanoeuvres are the two most commonly used treatment manoeuvres for the management of posterior canalBPPV. In this study, we use VNG to compare the two. Epley Repositioning Manoeuvre was found to be moreeffective than Semont Liberatory Manoeuvre.

During organizational entry, newcomers often draw upon internal resources like coworkers and supervisors to navigate their roles. Could external interactions with customers or patients hold the key to newcomer adjustment in certain job contexts? Our study, rooted in the conservation of resources theory, identifies a critical link between mistreatment from external parties and newcomer adjustment—a connection that is explained by rumination and work engagement. Through two studies involving new nurses in China (Study 1: four-wave cross-lagged panel design, N = 181; Study 2: four-wave time-lagged design, N = 198), we uncover that mistreatment from patients results in rumination among newcomers, leading to diminished task mastery and role clarity, as mediated by reduced work engagement. This ripple effect of external mistreatment persists even when accounting for internal mistreatment (abusive supervision and coworker incivility). Our results illustrate how negative interactions with external entities can hinder newcomer adjustment—a revelation with far-reaching implications for practitioners and future research.1

What exactly is gaslighting and how does it play out in the gendered context of women’s entrepreneurship? We contribute to Stern’s three-stage model of gaslighting by presenting a contextualised perspective through a ‘twisted path’ of gaslighting that maps out gaslighting interactions and consequences, reflecting how our findings coincide with, depart from and enrich this model; meanwhile identifying primary and subsequent (secondary and tertiary) gaslighting interactions. By examining gaslighting through the lens of epistemic injustice and testimonial injustice, we explain why some women entrepreneurs succumb to gaslighting, while others strategically employ testimonial smothering and infrapolitics as an empowered agential strategy rather than a disenfranchised consequence. Considering the lack of research on gaslighting in entrepreneurship, our geopolitical context emphasises the role of spatial position and identity within multiple systems of injustice, such as occupation and patriarchy, adding novel insights theorised and grounded in lived experiences. In doing so, we disrupt the influence of western feminism by embracing a postcolonial feminist perspective and promoting social justice through centring the voices of 40 internally displaced Palestinian women entrepreneurs. Policy implications underscore the need to raise awareness of gaslighting, facilitate its identification and promote preventive measures to hold gaslighters accountable.
