Importantly, non-physical violence often demonstrated in use of the power through managers' domination over employees, known as symbolic violence, may explain the lack of systematic and efficacious management of workplace violence. We take a qualitative approach to examine violence in aged care facilities in Australia by conducting semi-structured interviews with 60 participants. We employ Bourdieu's theory of practice (1977) and examine the social structure, the use of capital, and rules of the workplace to understand the use of symbolic violence toward nurses and PCAs, and subsequent impact on workplace violence. The study reports that HR departments are fundamentally ineffectual, and managers prioritise fiscal outcomes and fail to support nurses and PCAs, all contributing to symbolic violence. In effect, nurses and particularly PCAs have no choice but to allow managers to perpetuate symbolic violence because of the existential power imbalance. From the perspectives of workers, there is lack of systemic HRM and management responses to prevent and manage the effects of workplace violence. Our theoretical contribution to the HRM literature extends beyond the context of our study to more completely understand the tensions within Bourdieu's theory and the interconnections between the hierarchy, managers, HR departments and workers. By understanding such complexities, we shed new light on the process of how symbolic violence is used to dominate workers.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47916,"journal":{"name":"Human Resource Management Journal","volume":"36 2","pages":"305-316"},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2026-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147696355","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consistent empirical studies as well as cross-national mobilizations continue to highlight its pervasiveness and its negative impact on the victims and the workplace. While the prevalence of sexual harassment in the workplace is well documented, the related reporting remains extremely low. The current study aims to shed light on the multi-level power dynamics preventing the reporting of sexual harassment in the workplace. To do so, we adopt a critical lens coupled with the legal consciousness framework, which encompasses three key processes -naming, blaming, and claiming-that are pivotal in understanding sexual harassment reporting. Adopting a qualitative methodology, semi-structured interviews were conducted with HR managers in Lebanon. The findings show that power dynamics, at multiple levels (individual, organizational, and societal) prevent victims from reporting and reveal how relationality can foster silence by prioritizing group harmony over individual justice. Our main contributions lie in unpacking the multi-level power dynamics preventing reporting, and further fleshing it out in relation to naming, blaming and claiming. From a practical perspective, our findings highlight the need for context-specific, intersectional interventions that challenge internalized norms and for the engagement of external stakeholders to foster inclusive, ground-level responses to sexual harassment.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47916,"journal":{"name":"Human Resource Management Journal","volume":"36 2","pages":"286-304"},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2026-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147696371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By applying and extending the job queues/labour queues framework to two case studies (an hotel and a residential care facility), we show that contracts and conditions are influenced not only by operational and competitive considerations but also, importantly, by employers' control strategies and tools, including contract form. The hotel's enforced new recruitment strategies following the Brexit vote led to contract changes that were informed and legitimised by the employer's stereotyped perceptions of their targeted workforce group's behavioural characteristics. Furthermore, regular contracts in care and salaried contracts in the hotel were converted into precarious work by requiring acceptance of long or varied hours for low pay. Far from being routine, control and hiring strategies in low wage sectors are complex and dynamic but still constitute different ways of extracting maximum labour for little cost. Consequently they also often fail to deliver on all employer objectives.</p>","PeriodicalId":47916,"journal":{"name":"Human Resource Management Journal","volume":"36 2","pages":"181-191"},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2026-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1748-8583.70016","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147696361","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Surprisingly, corresponding empirical studies are rare, offering scarce insights into FLMs' HR implementation behaviour. In response, we propose that FLMs' <i>calling</i> can predict their <i>balancing act in</i> HR <i>implementation</i> through the mediating link of <i>instrumentality in</i> HR <i>involvement.</i> We also hypothesised that a positive two-way interaction between HR consistency and HR I-deals has a strong effect on team performance.

Our study contributes to the field on several fronts. We cast light on FLMs' rationale and motivation for HR involvement, demonstrating that FLMs have valid reasons to undertake HR responsibilities. Our investigation into the mediating role of FLMs' instrumentality in HR involvement reveals that FLMs view HR duties as a core part of their job, rather than a barrier to their operational priorities, allowing them to pursue self-fulfilment while serving their team. Moreover, we challenge the exclusive pursuit of either HR consistency or HR I-deals. We present evidence that both coexist and generate synergy in enhancing team performance.

Two residential aged care facilities from an Australian not-for-profit aged care organization comprised the intervention group and two similarly sized facilities comprised the comparison group, who underwent no intervention. Drawing on well-being and involvement HRM theories, the intervention featured a participatory approach that actively involved frontline workers in identifying sources of high demands and providing work redesign solutions to be implemented by management. During the study, changes in national funding policy resulted in an increase in staffing across all facilities. However, results showed that intervention facilities experienced a statistically significant reduction in employee-reported time pressure and emotional demands whereas no such changes occurred in the comparison facilities. There were also indications of a reduction in leave without pay, although no clear impact on turnover or well-being.

As such this research explores the impact on workload on this highly integrated group and their ability to work effectively. Through an online survey with both closed and open-ended questions, this study investigates the impact of increased workload on employee silence and its potential adverse effects on engagement and the intention to leave of this critical workforce - allied health professionals. The survey sample consisted of 1160 participants, including radiographers, psychotherapists, and occupational therapists, with 334 participants providing comments in the open-ended questions. We discovered that trust in management significantly moderates the detrimental effects of workloads on these variables, particularly the intention to leave. The findings of this research contribute to the human resource management (HRM) literature in two significant ways. First, our study enhances the employee silence literature by addressing issues under management's purview for control and change. Second, it advances our understanding of protective resources that can mitigate the negative consequences of workloads on employee silence, thereby bolstering engagement and retention intentions. It is important for an HRM audience as we argue that perceived workload expectations impact employee voice systems negatively where there is an erosion of trust with management.
