Internal climate leadership in municipal organizations. How paradoxical and transformational leadership of higher-level management shape climate leadership of lower-level managers
Climate governance is polycentric, involving also cities. We explore the little-known causes of internal climate leadership within municipal organizations by studying the relationship between climate leadership of managers and the general leadership strategies of their higher-level management. Specifically, we examine strategies based on visions (transformational leadership) and strategies giving meaning to tensions between contradictory yet desi…
The Impact of Policy (Il)Legitimacy on Interagency Collaboration and Trust: Differential Impact on CVE Professionals in Denmark
How does policy legitimacy, understood as legitimacy relating to the policy process, implementation and outcomes, affect collaboration and trust among social workers, teachers and police working with countering violent extremism? Using experimental methods on a nationally representative sample of 2310 Danish teachers, police officers and social workers, we show the effects of policy legitimacy on professionals who are given discretion in implemen…
Stability and Volatility in Cultural Models of Contention
How stable are the public's assumptions about the legitimacy of contentious tactics? Previous studies show that the public hold a set of assumptions about what counts as legitimate and illegitimate tactics. We enrich this literature by studying the stability of these assumptions through the case of partisan protesting in the United States. Leveraging panel data collected during the 2020 Black Lives Matter and anti-lockdown protests as well as two…
Career path preferences and personality among junior doctors: Results of a discrete choice experiment
In many areas of public sector work, managers are recruited from the ranks of professionals, but moving into positions with leadership responsibility can be daunting to many professionals. Still, we know very little about what makes public service professionals take on a leadership position. And how important is a leadership position compared with other job aspects? Drawing on person-job fit theory and a discrete choice experiment among 1,840 Dan…
Let the people’s will prevail: Self-uncertainty and authoritarianism predict support for populism
Recent years have witnessed a widespread rise of right-wing populism—an ideology maintaining that the will of the people is supreme, but is subverted by antagonistic elites. Drawing on uncertainty-identity theory, three studies (total N = 5,882) tested the hypothesis that uncertainty would only strengthen support for populism among low authoritarian respondents. Studies 1 and 2 were secondary analyses of American National Election Survey (ANES) 2…
Urban geographies of countering violent extremism: Spatial patterns in Nordic societies
While we know that radicalization is spatially concentrated in parts of countries and predominantly vulnerable neighborhoods, less is known about how citizens perceive countering violent extremism (CVE) policies, and whether their willingness to report concerns of radicalization follow similar patterns. Exposure to problems of radicalization, law enforcement, demographics and the context of neighborhoods potentially affect how geographies of CVE …
Perceived Legitimacy of CVE Policies and the Willingness to Report Concerns of Radicalization to Authorities in the Nordic Countries
Approaches to countering violent extremism (CVE) increasingly call upon ordinary citizens to report concerns regarding radicalization to authorities. However, knowledge about the factors determining their willingness to report remains limited. This paper addresses this void by asking under what circumstances members of the public are willing to report concerns of radicalization to authorities. The paper reports findings from a large-scale, compar…
Cultural Models of Contention: How Do the Public Interpret the Repertoire of Contention
The literature on contention tends to conflate contentious actions and audience's interpretation of those actions. This is problematic because interpretation is central to how contention unfolds and brings about social change. We theorise that interpretation is patterned by one or more cultural models of contention. These provide background assumptions about what actions count as political and what actions are legitimate. We show the fruitfulness…
Vulnerable and dominant: Bright and dark side personality traits and values of individuals in organized crime in Denmark
In this paper, we build on a robust literature on push and pull factors to focus on the personality traits and values of individuals involved in organized crime. We distinguish organized crime from other kinds of criminal activity and recruit a unique sample of non‐incarcerated individuals verified by the Danish National Police to be involved in organized crime. We use comprehensive standardized psychological assessments of their big five persona…
Recognising and responding to radicalisation at the ‘frontline’: Assessing the capability of school teachers to recognise and respond to radicalisation
Governments across the west have put teachers at the forefront of efforts to tackle radicalisation of young people based on their proximity to potentially vulnerable students. This has proven controversial, as critics claim that this securitises teachers’ work and that they cannot be expected to accurately identify and respond to extremism. Despite investment in P/CVE teacher training, research to assess teachers’ competence to identify signs of …
Pathways to violence: Do uncertainty and dark world perceptions increase intentions to engage in political violence
This paper develops and experimentally tests two pathways to intentions to engage in political violence. By distinguishing between self-directed and other-directed explanations of political violence, it presents the two pathways of uncertainty and dark world perceptions. In the first pathway, self-related uncertainty is projected onto hostile outgroups, motivating politically violent intentions. In the second pathway, perceptions of the world as …
Radicalization and violent extremism: Perspectives from research on group processes and intergroup relations
Radicalization and violent extremism leading to violent protests, repression, and terrorist attacks constitute important issues in our world. Social psychological group processes and intergroup dynamics play a key role in creating resilience against or facilitating the path towards violent extremism. The present body of work brings together and furthers our understanding of these factors by integrating insights from other fields, most centrally p…
