摘要

优势群体的成员可以作为边缘群体成员的盟友,在创造更加多样化、公平和包容的工作场所方面发挥关键作用。然而,越来越多的证据表明,有抱负的盟友往往无法促进平等,有时甚至可能加剧不平等。为了阐明无效同盟关系的原因和治疗方法,我们运用了关系的视角,整合了权力、信任和谦逊的理论。我们认为,权力创造了一个悖论,为盟友提供了帮助的机会,但也为他们在边缘化群体成员眼中的可信度制造了障碍。我们研究了盟友如何克服权力悖论,并通过行为谦卑,提升他人的个人权力,以最有效地分享他们的地位权力,建立信任。这种关系方法揭示了何时以及为什么试图结盟可能会引发反弹,以及盟友如何将良好的意图转化为支持的行动。

Help (Un)wanted: Why the most powerful allies are the most likely to stumble — and when they fulfill their potential

Members of dominant groups can play a critical role as allies to members of marginalized groups in creating more diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplaces. However, a growing body of evidence suggests that aspiring allies often fail to advance equity and may sometimes even amplify inequity. To shed light on the causes of—and cures for—ineffective allyship, we apply a relational lens, integrating theories of power, trust, and humility. We propose that power creates a paradox, offering opportunities for allies to help but also creating obstacles to their trustworthiness in the eyes of marginalized group members. We examine how allies can overcome the power paradox and establish trustworthiness through behavioral humility, elevating others’ personal power to most effectively share their positional power. This relational approach sheds light on when and why attempted allyship may elicit backlash, and how allies can translate good intentions into supportive actions.

期刊介绍: Research in Organizational Behavior publishes commissioned papers only, spanning several levels of analysis, and ranging from studies of individuals to groups to organizations and their environments. The topics encompassed are likewise diverse, covering issues from individual emotion and cognition to social movements and networks. Cutting across this diversity, however, is a rather consistent quality of presentation. Being both thorough and thoughtful, Research in Organizational Behavior is commissioned pieces provide substantial contributions to research on organizations. Many have received rewards for their level of scholarship and many have become classics in the field of organizational research.
