Abstract

Given the increasing importance of migrations around the world, and the challenges that migrants face in entering the labor market, the process of socialization of migrants into organizations deserves more attention from management scholars. Indeed, societal discourses promoting equality and diversity often appear to be in contradiction with the unequal power relations migrants experience on entering the workforce. Drawing on a dialectic perspective and a qualitative meta-synthesis methodology, we show how the practices engaged in by organizations to socialize migrant employees are deeply embedded in and influenced by macro-social contexts that may place migrants at a disadvantage, giving rise to emerging tensions. We examine a range of contingencies that can mitigate the inequalities that migrants experience, and we reveal a variety of dynamic dialectical pathways surrounding migrant socialization practices through which they may be reproduced or transformed depending on the mutual relationships between situated conditions, emerging tensions and human praxes.
同化、融合还是包容?流动人口组织社会化的辩证视角
鉴于移民在世界各地的重要性日益增加,以及移民在进入劳动力市场时面临的挑战,移民融入组织的社会化过程值得管理学者更多关注。事实上,促进平等和多样性的社会话语往往与移民进入劳动力市场时所经历的不平等权力关系相矛盾。基于辩证法和定性元综合方法,我们展示了组织为移民员工社交而采取的做法是如何深深植根于宏观社会环境中并受到宏观社会环境的影响的,这些环境可能会使移民处于不利地位,从而引发新出现的紧张局势。我们研究了一系列可以缓解移民所经历的不平等的突发事件,并揭示了围绕移民社会化实践的各种动态辩证路径,通过这些路径,他们可以根据所处条件、新出现的紧张局势和人类实践之间的相互关系而被复制或转化。
