  • Multi‐Level Triggers of Antiwoke Behaviour

    Open AccessRifat Kamasak, Deni̇z Palalar AlkanARTICLECanadian Journal of Administrative…2026

    This study examines how exclusionary diversity climates in antiwoke organizations foster hostility toward immigrant talent and lead to their underemployment and marginalization. Drawing on an integrative framework of institutional theory and social cognitive theory, we investigate how macro‐level sociopolitical forces and mesolevel factors trigger and reinforce such antiwoke dynamics. Our qualitative study finds that moral panic; broader anti‐imm…

  • Institutions, resource dependence and the dual nature of corruption in firm internationalisation

    Open AccessMaksim Belitski, Yelena Kalyuzhnova et al.ARTICLEHuman Relations2026References: 83

    Despite extensive research on institutions and firm internationalisation, the joint firm and macro-level effects of informal relationships, that is, corruption, on firm internationalisation, particularly within specific industrial contexts (resource-based vs. non-resource industries), remain underexplored. To investigate how firms internationalise under 2 boundary conditions – resource dependency and variations in institutional quality – we apply…

  • Problematising Sharenting of Supermoms in a Neoliberal Context

    Open AccessDeni̇z Palalar Alkan, Şafak Gündüz et al.ARTICLEGender Issues2024References: 16

    The representation of motherhood using digital platforms, which we call sharenting, can shape the socially constructed motherhood identity, i.e., supermoms in modern societies. Despite building a positive identity as mothers, supermoms may unintentionally violate their children’s privacy, instrumentalise, and even monetise the children. We examine sharenting and supermom identities as manifestations of neoliberal repositioning women as mothers an…

  • Passing as resistance through a Goffmanian approach

    Open AccessMustafa F Özbilgin, Cihat Erbil et al.ARTICLEGender Work and Organization2022Cited by: 10References: 22

    Passing and coming out are two divergent individual strategies historically associated with the LGBTQ+ community as they struggle to fit in with normative expectations at work and in life. While coming out has gradually become more common in organizations and national contexts that offer safeguards for LGBTQ+ individuals, passing remains an option where no such measures are available. Drawing on interviews with working‐class LGBTQ+ individuals in…

  • Regendering of dynamic managerial capabilities in the context of binary perspectives on gender diversity

    Purpose The interplay between gender and dynamic managerial capabilities is not well studied in the extant literature. This paper aims to explore how dynamic managerial capabilities, as prized qualities in the job market, are framed in gendered ways and how the gendering process disadvantages female and male workers for different reasons and harms the organisations, which use the managerial capabilities approach without proofing it for gender bia…
