Exclusion and labour control regimes
This article examines labour control in residential workplaces through a comparative study of traditional (colonial-era) and new tea plantations in Bangladesh. It extends Burawoy’s analysis of coercion and consent by showing how exclusion operates as a structuring condition of labour regimes. Traditional plantations rely on cumulative social, spatial, legal, and political exclusions that disconnect workers from alternative livelihoods, embed gene…
Workers that matter and work that counts organizing and accounting for value(s)
Special Issues are spaces of political action with the potential to activate new beginnings. As a group of academics, daily confronted with the lives of individuals who struggle for recognition across the societies in which we live, we came together with the intention of posing both timeless and timely questions to our communities: questions about how the value of work is defined, who is counted, and what kinds of work and workers are allowed to …
How equal is Norway? An analysis of migrant workers’ occupational health and safety in Norway
Globally, migrant workers often take ‘3-D jobs’ – dirty, dangerous, and demanding. In Norway, they mainly work in construction, manufacturing, and healthcare, often in low-wage positions. However, little is known on the occupational health outcomes of migrant workers. This study utilizes Statistics Norway’s (SSB) Living Conditions and Work Environment Panel Survey 2022, which includes 35,000 respondents, to explore how migrant status affects heal…
Neoliberalism, Informal Employment and Post-Communist Economies
This article examines the impact of neoliberal economic policies on workers in post-communist economies, with a particular focus on the rise of informal employment. Using the life story of David, a worker in the Czech Republic, we trace the trajectory of labour precarity from the 1990s to the present. During the 1990s, the rapid opening of the personal credit market –without adequate regulatory safeguards – led to a surge in household debt. At th…
Does Social Support Buffer the Effect of Negative Life Events on Mental Health Outcomes
Older adults play a significant role in society. They make valuable contributions to their families, communities, and economies. However, their mental health is often overlooked, and this can have consequences for their functioning, the societies in which they live, and those who depend on them. Social support’s beneficial role on mental health is well studied. However, the mechanism of social support’s beneficial role is often debated, with a wi…
Health Inequalities in Older Norwegians and the Mediating Role of Social Networks
This study aims to contribute to understanding how social networks serve as an intervening pathway leading to socioeconomic health inequality among older adults in Norway. Longitudinal survey data from the second and the third waves of the Norwegian Life Course, Ageing, and Generation Study were used in this paper. Hayes PROCESS was used to estimate the mediating effect of the contact frequency and the support potential of friends on the impact o…
The power struggles of executives and legislators in a kingship budget setting
Drawing on the power struggles of executives and legislators in a kingship budget setting, the study sheds light on the role of informal power in budget decisions and what makes one of the key actors more powerful than the other in the budgeting process. The study employs a qualitative case study collecting data through face‐to‐face interviews, observations, and documentary analysis. The paper advances the research stream of budget politics in pu…
Workplace Bullying and Intensification of Labour Controls in the Clothing Supply Chain
This article examines workplace bullying and the intensification of labour controls in the clothing supply chain. It appears that extreme forms of bullying are deployed to intensify labour controls, including locking workers in, frequent wage cuts, setting moveable targets and carrying out intense observations. The context of this study is surplus value-starved clothing factories in Bangladesh. Global supply chains' production regimes and the abs…
Labour Controls, Unfreedom and Perpetuation of Slavery on a Tea Plantation
This article examines labour controls in traditional tea plantations in Bangladesh. This study finds how social and economic exclusion through discriminatory labour laws and labour-manager relations rooted in the 'coolie' system have built a captive workforce separated from the mainstream workforce. This ultimately produces and reproduces slavery-laden labour controls. An opaque but punitive incentive system, sunset-sunrise working hours, maximum…
Public–private partnership in a smart city
Previous studies have overlooked how partnerships between public and private actors (PPPs) play out as an effect of cultural and historical conditions in the context of a smart city. Our analysis investigates the peculiar context of Japan, where smart city initiatives stem from a historically and culturally embedded “partnership” between government and businesses. Unlike other smart city settings, the adoption of a neoliberal logic of an all-embr…
Private management and governance styles in a Japanese public hospital
Participatory budgeting in a local government in a vertical society
This article examines a case of participatory budgeting in Japanese local government. The article demonstrates how cultural values interact with stages of budgeting (in our case, the co-planning or consultation phase of budgeting). We find three key stakeholders – councillors, administrators and citizens – have varying degree of participation in the budget process. While direct citizen participation has been limited and challenging, we find that …
Scandals from an island
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide an account of banking scandals in relation to corporate governance (CG) failures in an emerging economy, arguing that Anglo-American ideas of CG are misplaced in traditional settings. Design/methodology/approach Semi-structured interviews were conducted with key stakeholders. Observations of annual general meetings (AGMs) and the personal working experience of one of the researchers, along with docu…
Management Accounting Research and Structuration Theory
The article extends the critique of structuration theory from a critical realist perspective, in particular by demonstrating how its theoretical shortcomings are manifest in management accounting research. Examining of one of the most cited structuration-based accounting studies and other more recent structuration-based accounting studies, the article highlights what accounting researchers who have embraced a structuration lens may have ignored. …
Privatization in Bangladesh
The programme of state enterprise privatization pursued by the government of Bangladesh since 1975, largely under the influence and financial conditions of the aid agencies, has been subject to widespread debate. In 1991, at the suggestion of the World Bank, the government of Bangladesh formed the Privatization Board to ensure better outcomes of privatization. This article investigates whether firms privatized under the auspices of the Privatizat…
