Responses to occupational identity threats in sustainability transitions: A qualitative study of Dutch farmers
Sustainability transitions, especially phase-outs, disrupt occupational identities. • Identity threats evoke emotions of anger, sadness, fear, uncertainty, and hope. • Identity threats can undermine autonomy, competence, and relatedness. • Coping includes opposing threats, exiting, maintaining, and redesigning identities. • Anticipating occupational identity threats helps foresee responses to transitions. Addressing environmental challenges requi…
Coping with transition pain: An emotions perspective on phase-outs in sustainability transitions
(Too) high hopes? How Austrian energy community actors construct their roles in the energy transition
Energy communities (ECs), as forms of social innovation, have the potential to contribute to sustainability transitions in the energy system. Hence, policymakers place great hopes in ECs as drivers of the energy transition and impose 'transformative goals' on EC actors. However, earlier work revealed differentiated motives (e.g., personal gain, hedonism, economic reasons) on the part of these actors, with system transformation not always being th…
Lewin's field theory as a lens for understanding incumbent actors’ agency in sustainability transitions
Understanding incumbent actors' behavior is one of the current key targets in sustainability transitions research. Scholars studying incumbents' agency have demanded the inclusion of broader social-science theories that bridge different levels (i.e., individual, group) and enable the inclusion of a multitude of actors' drivers and motives into one coherent framework. The present article suggests that Kurt Lewin's field theory, an influential theo…
Collective rumination: When “problem talk” impairs organizational resilience
When adversity strikes, organization members often turn to others in order to vent their negative emotions and receive social support. While social interaction is commonly seen as a major resource for organizational resilience, dysfunctional social interactions and their negative effects on coping with and overcoming adversity are less well understood. This conceptual article develops theory on collective rumination—defined as repetitive and prol…
No need to hide: Acknowledging the researcher’s intuition in empirical organizational research
Experts on organizational research methods have begun to highlight the importance of researchers’ intuition (i.e. ‘direct knowing’) and have called for more genuine method sections that acknowledge its use. However, using intuition contradicts established research standards of traceability. Hence, when intuition was involved in the research process, researchers must choose between reporting its role, thereby risking the impression of lacking scho…
