Emergence of calling in the domain of creative work, and the role of context
Despite growing attention to calling and its benefits for workers and organizations, little is known regarding how calling emerges in the domain of creative work as a distinct type of nonstandard work, and how context shapes its emergence. To address this knowledge void, we offer a unique qualitative study of the career journey of Japanese manga artists who draw manga and view creative work as their calling. We show that manga artists' calling em…
Contesting corporate responsibility in the Bangladesh garment industry
In the developing economy of Bangladesh, local factory owners in the garment industry have felt great pressure to improve factory safety, but the costs for those improvements are not shared by the global apparel firms that wield immense influence over them. Consequently, we examine whether multi-stakeholder initiatives (MSIs), as vehicles of corporate social responsibility (CSR), offer platforms for democratic oversight or merely serve as new are…

In this article, we respond to this conundrum through an analysis of the c…

This article carries out an in-depth, critical examination of CSR as an emotionally tainted occupation in Japan. Its findings, substantiated by an analysis of 34 CSR workers’ rhetoric, help conceptualise ‘internal uselessness’. Th…
