Identity regulation research has largely focused on how organizational discourse shapes worker identities. Yet, in platform labour, control is increasingly enacted through algorithmic systems that allocate tasks, monitor performance, and assign reputational scores in real time. Drawing on interviews with delivery partners and platform managers, supplemented by multi-source data, we examine how such systems shape the identities workers are encouraged to adopt or avoid, and how they engage with these processes. We make two key contributions. First, we theorize algorithmic identity regulation as a computational, sociomaterial, and affective form of normative control, whereby digital infrastructures continuously evaluate, rank, and allocate work, recalibrating workers’ identities through ongoing cycles of recognition, visibility, and devaluation. Second, we show how algorithmic identity regulation reshapes dignity at work by rendering recognition continuous, depersonalized, and datafied, making workers’ sense of worth increasingly contingent on algorithmic evaluation. In doing so, we show that algorithmic control not only manages work but shapes how workers define their value, worth, and place in the labour process.","PeriodicalId":48433,"journal":{"name":"Human Relations","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2026-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148979503","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}

In this era of pervasive technovation, the traditional separation between professional and personal lives is undergoing a qualitative ontological collapse. Moving beyond the ‘boundary-blurring’ narrative, we theorise the generative mechanism behind this collapse: the sociomaterial entanglement of technological affordances, neoliberal organisational norms, and worker habitus. Drawing on a qualitative study of 42 UK professionals that uses the Gioia methodology, we analyse how hyperconnectivity reconfigures the work-life interface into a state of indistinction. Our findings reveal that employees adopt deliberate integration not as a preference but as a structural survival strategy within a high-responsiveness culture, facilitating the neo work-life domain. We conceptualise this neo work-life domain as a unitary, nomadic space where roles are perpetually concurrent and structured by an internalised professional habitus. Living within this neo work-life domain produces deeply paradoxical outcomes: While providing vital ICT resources, it generates compounded technostress, an environment where simultaneous stressors overwhelm cognitive recovery. Because compounded technostress triggers acute psychological risks, our primary theoretical contribution proposes that contemporary labour has fundamentally shifted from boundary management to attention management. We define ‘attention management’ as the cognitive filtering of role simultaneity and argue that it represents the final contested terrain of modern work. We conclude by highlighting the UK’s institutional ‘void’ and underscoring the urgent need for structural interventions, such as a statutory ‘right to disconnect’, to protect cognitive autonomy in a borderless neo work-life domain.","PeriodicalId":48433,"journal":{"name":"Human Relations","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2026-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148909136","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}

However, knowledge remains fragmentary and siloed. Scholars lack a full understanding, hampering their ability to navigate the increasingly complex socio-political landscape surrounding gender. We address these problems through a hybrid systematic-critical review approach that interrogates the empirical literature via a talent lifecycle and career sustainability perspective. Our review of 96 studies shows that gender-diverse workers face discrimination at every stage of the employee lifecycle, predominantly driven by prejudicial attitudes, as well as significant challenges across personal, workgroup, organisational, and industrial contexts. However, studies also emphasise how robust anti-discrimination legislation, informed human resource professionals, strong leadership, and supportive organisational climates can make gender-diverse workers’ careers more sustainable. The review also identifies persistent methodological, theoretical, and disciplinary orthodoxies, suggesting that more innovative research designs and interdisciplinary inquiry could be developed. Building on these insights, we present an integrative conceptual model and future research agenda that provides important avenues to significantly advance the field. By centring gender-diverse workers’ collective dignity and right to a fulfilling career, this review offers a career sustainability agenda for rethinking inclusion, work, and employment amid intensified contestation over diversity, equity, and inclusion.","PeriodicalId":48433,"journal":{"name":"Human Relations","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2026-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148898908","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}

Drawing on Bourdieu’s theoretical ideas, this study explores how professionals navigate internal activism around climate issues inside professional service firms (PSFs). Based on 58 interviews with mainly management consultants involved in internal climate activist groups, we identify three practice configurations: integrating activism for career progression, leveraging activism through career leadership and separating activism from organisational career for societal purpose . These configurations are shaped by field-level norms and by professionals’ dispositions, and are underpinned by two mechanisms, namely capital accumulation and capital conversion , through which professionals build and translate activism-related career capital. We demonstrate how the PSF field rewards commercially compatible forms of activism, while more resistant forms remain unrecognised in career terms. In doing so, we develop career-based mechanisms that explain why internal activism is commonly channelled into incremental rather than transformative forms, and highlight how, when pursued as an individual career project rather than collective action, internal activism is vulnerable to co-optation and can reinforce the very field structures it seeks to challenge.","PeriodicalId":48433,"journal":{"name":"Human Relations","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2026-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148809981","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}

In this paper, we explore how Erotic Stories, a provider of feminist audio pornography, prefigures sexual emancipation by providing alternative sexual scripts focusing on consensual sex. Drawing on conceptual prefiguration, we trace how consent is imagined and actualized and what divergences between the two reveal about the norms being (re)produced. Our contributions are threefold: First, we expand the scope of alternative organizing to include prefiguration of intimate relations; second, we show how conceptual prefiguration operationalizes the organizational commitment to staying unfinished; and third, we develop norm-critical prefiguration as a processual and reflexive approach to alternative organizing. Norm-critical prefiguration offers a mechanism for alternative organizing to continuously reflect and revise the norms produced, thereby avoiding alternative norms to ossify into new hegemonies. We conclude that to prefigure intimate relations in less hegemonic ways, organizations must diversify the voices that shape the imaginary and continuously expand it, so that striving for utopia remains open, expansive, and generative of ongoing social transformation.","PeriodicalId":48433,"journal":{"name":"Human Relations","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2026-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148717275","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}
