Could do better: Research inclusion in organization and management studies and how not to disable deaf workers
Purpose Based on a dialogic discussion of an empirical case study narrative, the paper provides a “better practice” commentary to help hearing researchers include deaf workers as research participants. We argue that more attention should be paid to the concept of research inclusion in all organizational research in order to anticipate and operationalize research methods that allow for a full diversity of research participants to be included. Desi…
Work–Life Fragility, Dilemmas, and “Gambling” at the Intersection of Fertility Treatment and Employment
Infertility is a working age population issue, meaning that many individuals undergoing fertility treatment are also in paid work—having to navigate conflicts between two often “greedy institutions,” which can both bring precarity. Traditional approaches to examining the work–life interface, focusing mainly on temporal issues, fail to account for the multifaceted nature of conflict at the intersect of fertility treatment and work, including its e…
Reproductive capital: Theoretical foundations and empirical evidence from the workplace
Contextualizing theory through empirical data allows for a broader understanding of how socio-economic, socio-cultural, norms, and values influence individual and organizational behavior. This article critically examines the concept of "reproductive capital" and its interaction with other forms of capital: aging, biological, cultural, economic, social, and symbolic
Medical training pathways and underdoctored areas: A Qualitative Study of Doctors Working in Areas That Struggle to Recruit and Retain
Some areas struggle more than others to recruit and retain doctors to provide healthcare services. Often, these areas are rural, coastal, remote, deprived or a combination of all these factors, compounding difficulties in access to healthcare; we refer to these areas as 'underdoctored'. This paper aims to describe experiences of working in underdoctored areas, with a focus on exploring why doctors work in these places to highlight what might enab…
Assisted Reproductive Technologies and Work, Employment and Society: Extending the Debate on Organisational Involvement in/Responsibilities around Fertility and Reproduction
A relatively recent development in the field of work and employment is organisational provisions around employee fertility - notably policies and benefits related to assisted reproductive technologies, also known as fertility treatment. Work, employment and organisation scholars have only scratched the surface of this issue. This Debates and Controversies article takes an intersectional political economy approach to explore the opportunities, cha…
Enacting care amid power relations: The role of ‘veiled care’ in organisational life
Traditional understandings of care-giving assume care practices are clear to others and unambiguously altruistic, reflective of the selfless and humane bearing of care professionals. However, a range of organisational research has noted the complex and often contradictory ways in which enactments of care are interwoven into organisational relations of power and control. Through a narrative analysis of interview data, our paper focuses upon practi…
Potential parenthood” and identity threats: Navigating complex fertility journeys alongside work and employment
While many scholars have noted workplace inequalities generated by the presence of pregnancy and parenthood, this paper shifts the focus to explore the question: how do childless subjects negotiate between work identities and desired identities of parenthood? Drawing from empirical research interviews about navigating complex fertility journeys alongside work and employment, we show how themes of pregnancy and parenthood play out in the form of (…
Theorising the hospice gaze: A Foucauldian collaborative ethnography of a palliative day care service
Video “talks back” in a relational research approach
Purpose – The author argues for the use of unedited, fixed-camera-position video footage in relationally responsive research grounded in Bakhtinian dialogic theory. The purpose of this paper is to offer an empirical example of such a use, and shows how this contrasts with an ethnomethodological interactionist use of similar types of video footage. Design/methodology/approach – The empirical material is taken from an ethnographic study of a projec…
