Exploring the Role of Internal Communication in Facilitating Employee Ethical and Unethical Endorsements in an Organisational Crisis
Employees' communication with external stakeholders has a megaphoning effect that can easily enhance or damage an organisation's reputation during a crisis. It is essential for organisations to have employees' support and endorsement to successfully get through and recover from an organisational crisis. This study examines the impact of internal crisis communication and perceived organisational ethics on both ethical and unethical employee endors…

The current study proposed a model in which employee promotive and prohibitive …

Two worlds apart: A qualitative study of culture-led rural regeneration projects in China
The urban–rural gap remains to be one fundamental inequality in modern China; however, the symbolic boundary derived from such socioeconomic inequality is less examined. Centre on two parallel initiatives aimed at cultural empowerment for rural China—independent bookstores and public-subsidized libraries—this study tries to explicate the multidimensional nature of boundaries and emphasize the cultural mechanism of boundary reproduction under inst…
Learner repair during task-based peer interactions in an EMI classroom: A case study of a marketing class in a Chinese higher education setting
Current research on the in-class discursive realities in English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) classrooms has been mostly restricted to whole class scenarios, whereas student-student interactive discourse in task-based activities is largely ignored. This study explores peer interactions among university students in an EMI marketing course in China, specifically focusing on repair practices. The data mainly comprised transcribed recordings of 2…

For some employees, communicating via virtual technologies such as email, phone, video conferences or applications to work in teams can cause anxiety, which in turn may influence their decision to engage in organizational dissent. This study examines the impact…

An Investigation of the Mediating Role of Organizational Trust in the Relationship between Work Rumination and Organizational Dissent
Employees often spend a significant amount of time ruminating over their daily working experiences. Such rumination triggered by work events may have profound influences on employees’ behaviors and perceptions about their organization. The current study investigates how work rumination may alter employee dissent behaviors through the mediating role of organizational trust. Results from a sample of employees recruited through Qualtrics (N = 397) i…
Paradigm Repair and News Engagement: Exploring Bari Weiss’s Resignation from the New York Times
In July 2020, New York Times Opinion staff and writer Bari Weiss announced her resignation, accusing the newspaper’s problematic editorial preference. Her resignation ignited robust debates about professional norms and journalistic accountability among journalists, partisan elites, and the public. Drawing on insights from ethical crisis communication, journalistic paradigm repair, and schema congruity theory, this study used this case as a point …
Play against the informality? Institutional reliance and strategic adaption in Chinese cultural governance
The current Chinese Book Quota System derives from a traditional socialist model that integrates cultural governance, ruling party ideology and infrastructure management. Such a wartime legacy no longer suits demand from modern consumers, and yet bureaucratic management sustains the inefficient institution, which has accidentally fostered a countervailing informal market and in turn stimulates cultural policy changes. This article uses informal b…

Speaking up and out: Examining the predictors of prohibitive voice among teachers
Teachers routinely face dissatisfying work conditions and may express their frustrations to their peers. This study explores the extent to which causal attributions of work-related doubt, occupational commitment, and intention to quit influence teachers’ willingness to voice their concerns about their occupation. Through a survey of 210 teachers in the United States, we found that teachers with a personal control orientation were less likely to e…
An Exploration of the Relationships between Organizational Dissent, Employee Burnout, and Work-family Balance: A Cross-cultural Comparison between China and Finland
Exhausted employees who fail to achieve work-life balance are likely to withdraw their engagement and voice in organizations. The current study explored relationships between work-family balance, employee burnout, and organizational dissent utilizing a cross-cultural sample. Through an analysis of 203 individuals from China and 112 individuals from Finland, the following was found: emotional fatigue, a dimension of employee burnout, is negatively…
A Longitudinal Examination of Validity and Temporal Stability of Organizational Dissent Measurement in France
This study examines the extent to which the Organizational Dissent Scale (ODS) maintains validity and temporal stability over time in a French sample. A longitudinal panel study was conducted. The results do not support that the ODS maintains validity nor temporal stability over time. These results are not indicative of problems with the original measure; it could be that conceptually dissent is a different process with different understandings i…
Exploring the Relationships between Employee Burnout, Organizational Dissent and Work-family Culture in Russian Organizations
Employees who fail to balance work and life responsibilities are likely to experience job burnout and, ultimately, withdraw their engagement and voice in the workplace. The current study explored the relationships between employee burnout, work-family balance, and organizational dissent. More importantly, these relationships were tested in an under-researched and culturally unique context, Russia. Data collected from 232 full-time employees in th…
Social Desirability Bias among Prejudice Instruments An Integrated Threat
A considerable amount of research has examined the extent to which members of dominant cultures perceive minority groups as threatening their way of life. While various instruments measure these perceptions of threat, few researchers have empirically analysed the statistical properties of these scales. Specifically, studies have not adequately explored social desirability of threat scales. The current study investigates the extent to which one se…
The sculpture of tick-borne disease media coverage in the United States and China
Media’s ability to enhance the salience of certain topics for the public and affect governmental policy-setting processes is widely recognized. This is particularly evident in health communication, where newspapers are one of the most important sources of health information. This study compares media depictions of tick-borne disease in the United States and China. Both countries are experiencing an increase in tick-borne diseases and have vastly …
An exploration of organization dissent and workplace freedom of speech among young professional intra-urban migrants in Shanghai
This study explores the factors influencing the dissent behavior and perceptions of workplace freedom of speech among young Chinese professionals who are intra-urban migrants. It attempts to grasp the role of the Chinese household registration system, referred to as Hukou, in migrants’ professional and everyday life. Fourteen interviews were conducted with young, well-educated intra-urban migrants who possessed middle-income jobs but did not poss…
Automated data analysis to rapidly derive and communicate ecological insights from satellite-tag data: A case study of reintroduced red kites
Analysis of satellite-telemetry data mostly occurs long after it has been collected, due to the time and effort needed to collate and interpret such material. Delayed reporting reduces the usefulness of such data for nature conservation where timely information about animal movements is required. To counter this problem, we present a novel approach which combines automated analysis of satellite-telemetry data with rapid communication of insights …
