Achieving net-zero emissions through smart technologies
Adopting net zero is a crucial challenge of concern to the entire world, particularly the developing nations, which also suffer societal constraints and infrastructural limitations that complicate the entire process. Smart technologies (STs) have been identified to be able to provide alternatives that can make a difference by enhancing energy efficiency, reducing the emission of greenhouse gasses and enabling sustainable practices. The paper has …
Can Ally Work Mobilize Voice? Male Leaders' Ally Work on Women's Pro‐Group Voice
Organizations rely on members from relatively advantaged social groups to act as allies. Yet, whether these individuals' ally work enables or inhibits those from relatively disadvantaged social groups to engage in social change efforts remains unclear. We focus on male leaders' ally work and draw on intergroup relations research to theorize its consequences. We expect that the type of ally work male leaders engage in can differentially impact fem…
Hireability” prospects for known bystander reporters of sexual harassment
Bystander intervention has been promoted across organizations to combat sexual harassment and its deleterious effects. However, the career consequences of bystander reporters (e.g., their hireability prospects inside and outside the organization)—those who report sexual harassment on behalf of coworkers—are not well understood. Based on the social identity and person perception literatures, which suggest that recruiters are motivated to hire cand…
Organization-as-Platform Activism
Social activists sometimes engage in a form of workplace activism that involves using their employer organization as an unofficial platform to communicate social issue messages to external stakeholders. This type of activism follows a different logic from that of more-familiar citizen activism, in which citizens directly target society and its institutions, and that of organizational-change activism, in which employees aim to influence their empl…

Motivating sustainable behaviors by framing biodiversity loss as a public health risk
Earth’s biodiversity is being lost at an alarming rate. Researchers have consistently underscored the need to conserve biodiversity not only for the sake of the environment, but also to safeguard human health itself. Biodiversity loss is a chronic, largely abstract risk that is difficult for people to visualize tangibly. This can limit what people think they can do to help conserve it. However, experts regularly implore the wider adoption of more…
Diversity at a Critical Juncture
In 2015 we issued a call for papers for a Special Topic Forum (STF) on Diversity at a Critical Juncture in response to contextual shifts that raised questions regarding the assumptions, scope, and implications of prevalent theorizing on diversity in management. Four years later, societal trends have made this call even more urgent and relevant. Although these trends are both ominous and disruptive to the current state of knowledge, they also prov…
A Structural-Emergence Model of Diversity in Teams
The study of diversity in work groups and organizations has become a significant domain of inquiry. However, the overall consensus in this literature seems to be that a direct relationship between diversity and performance-based outcomes is tenuous at best. To break this impasse, we propose a structural-emergence model that emphasizes how the embedding structural context has substantial implications for the very meaning, salience, and content of …

The Role Of Context In Work Team Diversity Research
Integrating macro and micro theoretical perspectives, we conducted a meta-analysis examining the role of contextual factors in team diversity research. Using data from 8,757 teams in 39 studies conducted in organizational settings, we examined whether contextual factors at multiple levels, including industry, occupation, and team, influenced the performance outcomes of relations-oriented and task-oriented diversity. The direct effects were very s…
Bracketing team boundary spanning
There is growing recognition that teams do not function in a vacuum and that external boundary activities are important predictors of team performance, effectiveness, and knowledge sharing. In the past, researchers have focused on the effects of team composition or task characteristics as antecedents of critical boundary spanning activities. However, less effort has been directed at understanding how antecedents at multiple levels can simultaneou…
Do birds of a feather shop together? The effects on performance of employees' similarity with one another and with customers
Theories have suggested that employee diversity can affect business performance both as a result of customer preferences and through changes of relations within the workplace. We examine these theories with data from more than 700 retail stores employing over 70 000 individuals, matched to census data on the demographics of the community. While past theories predict that increasing the similarity between employees and customers will increase sale…
Diversity in social context
Prior research on demographic diversity in work teams has yielded mixed results, with the effects of team diversity ranging from positive to neutral to negative. This article shows that an improved understanding of the relationship between team diversity and team performance can be reached by considering the combined effects of team diversity and demographic social context. We hypothesized that three aspects of the social context would moderate t…
