Analyses of our in-depth qualitative data led to articulating <em>sustainability-in-the-making</em>: an ongoing process where the agency of human and nonhuman collective assemblages produced organizational transformation and endured commitment to socio-ecological matters of concern. Our findings contribute to organizational sustainability literature by: 1- offering an ontological shift from the business case to <em>relational practices</em>, which enables focusing on emerging and evolving organizational transformations overlooked by the business case; 2- challenging the hierarchical conception of “scale” by illustrating how human and nonhuman actors in their own settings <em>composed collectives</em> and produced and expanded impact around matters of concern; and 3- showing the significance of dealing with <em>controversies</em> – disagreements and debates around particular matters of concern – in enduring commitment to socio-ecological issues.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47759,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Journal of Management","volume":"41 4","pages":"Article 101439"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145665443","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this type of frontline bureaucracy to take place, we identify two enabling conditions for bureaucratic and professional values to merge: healthcare professionals perceive the bureaucratic element as appropriate (make clinical sense, serve a specific end and involve key stakeholders) and effective (improve care coordination and support work relations). Our analysis shows that frontline professionals implement the bureaucratic elements to build a scaffold for collaboration. This type of bottom-up, micro-level bureaucracy aligns and breaks with a top-down, macro-level understanding of bureaucracy. Our study has theoretical implications for the understanding of hybrid bureaucracy in professional organisations and holds practical insights for how frontline professionals can simultaneously harness bureaucratic and professional values.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47759,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Journal of Management","volume":"41 4","pages":"Article 101435"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145665447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We contribute to critical studies on diversity networks by illustrating how the interplay of power, privilege and marginalization shapes the micro-politics of change within these networks. Based on a case study of one fathers’ network, we demonstrate how unique layers of privilege- where managerial power is closely tied to the privilege of high-status identity as white men and hegemonic masculinity- enables the fathers’ network board to use a distinctive combination of power forms to advocate for the marginalized position of involved fathers in organizations. Our findings show that advocating for involved fatherhood from a position of power and privilege enables a unique set of micro-political strategies: (I) Strategic topic positioning; (II) Positioning of the network as key partners for achieving organizational goals; (III) Taking ownership of the father-friendliness policy agenda.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47759,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Journal of Management","volume":"41 4","pages":"Article 101437"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145665441","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present studies aim to demonstrate that individuals in different occupations can have a different motivational composition behind their generative aspirations. We examined this using mixed methods among three groups: entrepreneur leaders, teachers, and control groups. We used the Loyola Generativity Scale (N = 117) and life story interviews (N = 90), in which we coded themes of agency and communion, and also included the economic indicators of the companies in an exploratory manner. The control group exhibits the lowest level of generativity, whereas both teachers and entrepreneurs demonstrate higher levels of generativity. Moreover, the life narratives of teachers primarily encompass communal themes, whereas the narratives of entrepreneurial leaders focus predominantly on agentic topics. However, both groups were equally adept at integrating the two motivational aspects. The findings offer empirical support for the notion that generativity may be organized based on varying motivations. Both agentic and communal motivations may indicate elevated aspirations for generativity.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47759,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Journal of Management","volume":"41 4","pages":"Article 101436"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145665448","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This qualitative vignette study empirically investigates how training in normative ethics influences strategic decision-making competencies, conceptualized through the lens of dynamic managerial capabilities, among executives in an executive education context. The study involved presenting two parallel vignettes depicting ethically-charged strategic decisions to executives before and after completing normative ethics courses with no intention to promote managerial competencies. Participants' responses were analyzed and categorized in terms of changes in their ability to sense opportunities and threats, shape organizational responses, seize opportunities, and reconfigure capabilities for continuous renewal and transformation. The results indicate that ethics education contributed to an overall increase in strategic competencies, particularly in seizing and reconfiguring capabilities, while the results for sensing and shaping are more mixed. Herewith, we provide some empirical evidence that ethics education has the potential to enhance strategic decision-making competencies, conceptualized as dynamic management capabilities. Overall, this study counters the narrow perspective that ethics training only develops ethical awareness. It demonstrates how ethics can be an integral part of management education aimed at holistically developing strategic leadership competencies to meet the organizational challenges of the 21st century.

The discourse on effectuation as a theory presents an interesting example which shows the challenges of discussing theory due to the different understandings of theory in entrepreneurship research. In this essay, we propose instead to examine the forms of theorising that entrepreneurship scholars engage in. Analysing 42 articles from the discourse on effectuation as a case of entrepreneurship theory, we show which forms of theorising are more prevalent than others, and which forms might be underexplored and could offer potential for future research. While we can and should continue to build on the knowledge about theory from other fields, this essay is an invitation to entrepreneurship scholars to take a step back and reflect on our own theorising in the field. With the three recommendations presented, we aim to provide a starting point for scholars to embrace the plurality of possible forms of theorising in entrepreneurship.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47759,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Journal of Management","volume":"41 3","pages":"Article 101427"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144997749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We show how in the midst of a highly volatile crisis, organizations dedicated to promoting evidence-based knowledge were able to coalesce around a common goal, despite prior failed attempts to create a form of collaboration. We call this process <em>meta-organizing on the fly</em> and trace its development over time through periods of emergence, shapeshifting and transition that imply different forms of identity work, boundary work and practice work. We contribute to the literature by showing how an environmental shock can alter the motivational landscape for meta-organizing suddenly and intensely, and we reveal the critical, yet paradoxical role of centralized leadership in enabling it to take form and potentially sustain itself. While inter-organizational rivalry may re-emerge over time, we suggest that meta-organizing on the fly nevertheless has the potential to lead to longer term transformation of organizational relations towards enhanced collaboration, and the recreation of other meta-organizational forms.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47759,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Journal of Management","volume":"41 3","pages":"Article 101431"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144997751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
