Mobilising tensions: Transnational union network formation in the Asia-Pacific region
Trade unions are an important actor in the social regulation of the transnational corporation. How and why trade unions engage with the continued rise of global corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives remains largely under-researched, particularly in transnational arenas beyond Europe. Transnational trade union networks are a concerted development intended to advance collective worker voice and influence, especially in contexts without …
Development and initial validation of a sexual and gender minority competency-based survey for health service professionals
155). Study findings supported a one-factor HCAF-SGM score, suggesting that health care providers view their competency regarding SGM individuals in a holistic manner, without differentiating between knowledge, attitude, and skill. The measure was found to be negatively associated with right-wing authoritarianism and positively correlated with specific social identities most salient to the topic of SGM health (i.e., health care professional and S…
Keeping It Quiet? The Micro-Politics of Employee Voice in Company Strategic Decision-Making
Employee voice in company strategic and governance decision-making in Anglophone countries commonly has few formal channels. This article's investigation of labour's (collective employees) interest expression in Australia and New Zealand finds that labour actors engage with company actors to craft a range of channels of expression and participation. In addition to actors' utilisation of formal institutional provisions for adversarial collective b…
Recalling the moral dimension: Transnational labour interests and corporate social responsibilities
The near‐exclusive privileging of the rational‐strategic action framework in employment relations shapes debate on the intersection of employment relations with claims for corporate social responsibilities (CSRs). Employment relations scholarship and trade unions are readily disposed to regard company claims regarding CSR as strategic market response. Prospects for widening the scope of debate come into view through further engagement with a mora…

Based on interviews with 22 women navigating their post-diagnosis life course, the article addresses participants' challenges in their relationships with paid employment, their responses and self-identity narratives. It finds that women strive to revis…
Education and sustainability: Reinvigorating adult education’s role in transformation, justice and development
Distinctively economic objectives for lifelong education, especially adult learning and education, feature prominently in policy-making agendas and educators’ practice in much of the world. Critics contend that humanistic and holistic visions of lifelong learning for all have been marginalised and neglected. The current turn of political attention to issues of planetary environmental sustainability and to global societal transformation and interc…
We, the people at work: Propositions for revitalizing industrial democracy through the use of Étienne Balibar's concepts
Current debates in social and political studies raise concerns about a 'democratic deficit' in society. Critical debates in work, employment and industrial relations raise similar concerns about intensified employer and managerial power and weak workers' voice in substantive decision-making in organizations and workplaces. This article proposes that consideration of philosopher Étienne Balibar's conceptions of post-national social citizenship, dr…

The Learning Worker, Organizations and Democracy
The modern cultural aspiration toward participatory democratic citizenship continues to be highly valued and striven for in the contemporary West. Although there is much recognition of democracy's many imperfections and everyday political practices that fall well short of democratic ideals, many social and political theorists argue for the continued applicability of models of democratic civil society to our present times (Archibugi et al., 1998; …
Organizations and Learning: A Critical Appraisal
Discussions about organizations and learning continue to attract critical interest. Since the emergence in the 1970s of the notion of the “learning organization,” notions of systems’ learning, knowledge management and lifelong learning have progressively entered into the debates. Earlier debates, which drew on education and psychology fields as well as organization and management studies, frequently explored plural objectives for learning occurri…
Gender Equality and Corporate Governance: Policy Strategies in Norway and New Zealand
Advancing gender equality in the labour market continues to be a policy objective in many OECD countries. Wide national variations are evident in strategies and accomplishments towards improving gender equality at all levels of the labour market, including senior management and corporate governance roles. This article compares policy strategies in Norway and New Zealand directed towards achieving gender equality in the governance of corporate ins…
Organizations, workers, and learning: New Prospects for Citizenship at Work
Extensive debates in many countries on knowledge-based economies and learning societies continue to raise critical questions. The European Union has most prominently articulated its aspiration toward achieving competitive knowledge-based economic advantage in the global economy. It proposes to accompany that economic agenda with aspirations to maintain a European social model of social citizenship for the population as a whole. However, at the sa…

Bureaucracy Re-Enchanted? Spirit, Experts and Authority in Organizations
Bureaucracy is challenged and examined from almost all quarters in organizational analysis. As part of wide debate over postmodern cultural theorizations there is now much debate over the viability and retention of bureaucratic forms of organization. It is often argued that bureaucracies have been displaced by more rapid-response entrepreneurial and strategic configurations. Yet we can observe examples of bureaucracy that deliberately select, rep…
Just a Temp: Women, Temporary Employment and Lifestyle
Women's continued high rate of participation in non-standard employment, especially temporary and part-time jobs, attracts much critical concern. Many social analysts of work regard non-standard employment as heightening risks of economic insecurity, workplace exploitation and social marginalization. Labour economists regard temporary and part-time work as comprising 'secondary'labour markets and workers in this sector as 'secondary earners'.Many…
The learning worker, organizations and democracy
A current turn of interest in notions of the ‘learning economy’ and the ‘learning society’ is fuelling discussions on promoting education, training and learning in contemporary organizations and workplaces. Although the education of workers has been variously theorized and practised throughout the 20th century, the current debates are marked by a prevailing economic perspective that places emphasis on constructing ‘learning organizations’ and on …
Sociology Sensing the Body: Revitalizing a Dissociative Discourse
Work, Non-Work and Resacralizing Self
Against a dominant sociopolitical momentum of increasing and unmitigated instrumental rationality that Weber foresaw pervading all spheres of life in modern industrial society are new social and cultural signs of contestation and counterpoint. Modern critical social analysts have argued variously for delimitations to technocratic and economic rationalities and these modern contestations to instrumentality and alienation remain apparent in contemp…
Come, Join Our Family: Discipline and Integration in Corporate Organizational Culture
This article critically examines primary processes and effects of the so-called "new organizational culture" that is organized on the principles and practices of Total Quality Management (and its variations) and increasingly practiced in corporate organizations in the 1990s. The paper specifically analyzes the effects of the organizational cultural practices of "family" and "team" on the employee and discusses their role in corporate discipline, …
Corporate Transformations: Designer Culture, Designer Employees and `Post-Occupational' Solidarity
This article argues that the new corporate culture currently being constructed in the corporate institution of work has wide social implications. The interplay of post-industrial technologies, new organizational practices and wider social influences is effecting changes in corporate production and culture. In particular, the integration of knowedge and work tasks and employee flexibility enabled by the `smart' technologies is generating new forms…
