While the external frontiers of capitalist accumulation are traceable to identifiable corporations, internal frontiers involve ambiguous work and organizational relations. We draw on fieldwork at a settlement near a waste landfill in Ahmedabad, India. We weave research on infrastructures with organizational studies of violence to examine the (re-) production of these internal frontiers. We show how the state and private actors inflict socio-economic ruination and govern through infrastructural violence – such as exclusions from public infrastructures, proliferating private infrastructures and exposure to toxic infrastructures – to produce the internal frontier. Residents endure life through the reparative infrastructural work of salvaging and patching infrastructures. We contribute to organizational research on violence by highlighting the under-theorized internal frontiers of global capital that comprise large swathes of the population. Furthermore, using infrastructure as an analytic lens, we open new terrains of inquiry into work and organizing in the capitalist mode of production. We show how reparative infrastructural work at the internal frontier transgresses Global North-centric formulations of work. We advance nascent organization studies on majoritarian political formations.","PeriodicalId":48433,"journal":{"name":"Human Relations","volume":"116 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143915967","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}

We develop a model based on appraisal theories of emotion, with results from two experimental studies and a multi-wave survey study supporting our notion of the need for a more balanced view. First, SFS is positively linked to employees’ feelings of gratitude (a positive emotion) and indebtedness (a negative emotion). Second, gratitude mediates the link between SFS and approach job crafting. Yet—arguing that a key feature of SFS is that it empowers employees to temporarily disengage or withdraw from some work-related tasks—we also find that indebtedness mediates the link between SFS and avoidance job crafting. Third, considering employees’ work-family conflict (WFC) as a contextual factor that moderates the effects of SFS, we find that WFC conditions the indirect effect of SFS on avoidance job crafting via indebtedness. With these insights, our balanced view of SFS offers a more comprehensive assessment of employees’ lived experiences associated with the receipt of SFS.","PeriodicalId":48433,"journal":{"name":"Human Relations","volume":"108 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143862878","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}

Counter to the trend of the general workforce becoming more age-diverse, executives appear to have become more age homogenous and increasingly older at appointment. This is despite increasing frequency of CEO succession episodes, which represent opportunities for demographic change at the top. Combining insights from upper echelons theory, homosocial reproduction theory, and executive succession research, we examine age homophily as an underexamined response to appease some of the disruptiveness surrounding CEO succession episodes. Exploiting CEO succession as a theoretical context for change and an empirical identification strategy, we construct a sample of 391 successions in 297 Standard and Poor’s 500 index companies from 2000 to 2020 and apply a hierarchical linear modeling specification to test hypotheses. We find general support for the notion that age profiles of departing CEOs and incumbent top management teams (TMTs) tend to be reproduced across succession episodes. However, some intriguing patterns emerge when accounting for the origin of the incoming CEO. Notably, some of these general tendencies may be reinforced under outsider CEO successors—counter to the usual expectation for upheaval prompted by outside CEO appointments. We discuss implications for theory and practice.","PeriodicalId":48433,"journal":{"name":"Human Relations","volume":"68 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143851020","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}

Given AI has rapidly evolved since the initial release of ChatGPT in 2022, researching how AI’s capabilities impact organizations and how researchers make use of AI tools can be likened to a moving target. In this editorial essay, we explore the implications of the introduction of AI in the context of academic research, both as the subject of investigation (i.e., research on AI) and as a research tool to facilitate academic writing, data generation, or the peer review process (i.e., research with AI). Specifically, concerning research on AI, we consider issues around clarity regarding both existing definitions and concepts in the AI literature and how these are influenced by the rapid technological evolution of AI’s capabilities. In regard to research with AI, we reflect on the advantages and disadvantages of the use of AI as a research tool and discuss the Human Relations AI Usage Policy . Overall, our aim is not to be overly prescriptive on how to conduct research on and with AI but to encourage authors to reflect on how to best capture AI as a moving target in the context of their research endeavors.","PeriodicalId":48433,"journal":{"name":"Human Relations","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143822653","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}

Based on the time-scarcity perspective, scholars have reached a consensus that time spent commuting is generally draining for employees. This raises an important question: Do all employees have negative reactions to longer commuting times? Challenging this view, we use a temporally based chronotype fit perspective to argue that time spent commuting is less fatiguing for some people compared to others. We propose that at the within-person level, morning (evening) commuting time negatively relates to work (family) role performance via fatigue at work (home). The chronotype moderates the within-individual effects of time spent commuting on fatigue and performance at work and home. The harmful effects of time spent commuting on fatigue and performance are attenuated for persons with a biological preference for evening activity. These effects stand in contrast to previous research that predicted workplace advantages for those individuals with a biological preference for morning activity. We also propose the spillover effects of fatigue at work on fatigue at home and of work role performance on family role performance. Two experience sampling method surveys largely support our hypotheses.","PeriodicalId":48433,"journal":{"name":"Human Relations","volume":"61 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143775405","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}

This special issue focuses on developing this intersection by advancing process and practice theory research on entrepreneuring. Entrepreneuring is a concept that captures the processuality and relationality of entrepreneurship, and its emancipatory potential, that occurs amidst existing organizational conditions of work. Entrepreneuring thus poses hitherto missing questions relating to how new forms of work are actually enacted in concrete practices, the tensions from which it emerges and that it triggers, the ambivalence it conveys, and the metamorphoses it goes through. In turn, entrepreneuring conceives of work as fluid and permeated by open-ended possibility, providing space for scholars of entrepreneurship, work and organization to come together to ‘imagining-with’ practitioners alternative political, social, technological and ecological futures that have yet to come into being. The articles in this special issue illuminate the various processes and practices of entrepreneuring at work and provide novel conceptualizations, vocabularies and methodologies that can advance this budding but increasingly important domain of research and practice.","PeriodicalId":48433,"journal":{"name":"Human Relations","volume":"102 4 Pt 1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143736524","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}

Rejecting the predefined and normative conception of alternativity that guides much CMS literature, we suggest viewing alternatives as constituted through ever-changing processes of making and breaking dominant orders. This perspective moves the study of alternatives forward by allowing researchers to discover alternativity in unexpected places and appreciate the constitutive intertwinement of ‘the alternative’ and ‘the mainstream’. Most importantly, however, it helps us study the organizational evolution of alternatives and their ongoing struggle to remain deviant. We demonstrate the analytical utility of our approach through a comparative study of two political parties: Independents for Frome (IfF) in the UK and Alternativet in Denmark. Building on this analysis, we explore how and why one organization appears to be thriving while the other seems moribund. We further outline three ‘liberating tactics’ that alternatives may use to remain unfinished and thus alternative: reiteration, compartmentalization, and alliancing. In conclusion, we discuss what it might mean to study alternatives in a processual manner and point to future avenues of research.","PeriodicalId":48433,"journal":{"name":"Human Relations","volume":"52 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143546415","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 from the social information processing theory perspective, we introduce three distinct types of supervisor–supervisee dyadic cognitive influences (i.e. attention-shifting, role-sending, and role-modeling mechanisms) to explain the trickle-out effects of abusive supervision on customers. We hypothesized that an abused employee’s perception of acceptability of norm violations, role ambiguity, and role-modeling influence mediates the effects of abusive supervision on customer-directed sabotage. Furthermore, we developed a process-moderated mediation model to explain how different levels of psychological and physical proximity shape these effects. Across two studies in distinct face-to-face service contexts, we found that the perceived acceptability of norm violations (Study 2), role ambiguity (Study 1 and Study 2), and role-modeling influence (Study 1 and Study 2) trickle out the effects of abusive supervision on customers. Interestingly, these trickle-out effects via role ambiguity and role-modeling influence are intensified when employees are psychologically close to their supervisor but physically distant from customers, but under these moderation mediation conditions, the trickle-out effect via perceived acceptability of norm violations has been weakened. Our findings offer new insights into how abusive behaviors ripple through service organizations, affecting not just internal dynamics but external customer relations as well.","PeriodicalId":48433,"journal":{"name":"Human Relations","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143528294","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}

This article uses feminist materialism to develop a more-than-human understanding of entrepreneurship, drawing empirically on qualitative data collected from a study of artisanal bakeries. I show how practices of craft, that rely on embodied proximity to materials and care(ful) making, require bakers to engage affirmatively with and become relationally dependent upon the microorganisms needed to make bread. The heterogeneous elements of artisanal bread making become connected and acquire agency through fermentation, which alerts bakers to invisible life forces they do not control and must treat with care. Through empirical insights of proximity, connections and collective agitation, fermentation offers a transversal metaphor for thinking differently about what entrepreneurial bodies can do. The article contributes to understanding craft entrepreneuring as a vital, self-organizing, emergent process of meeting with and extending care to others. By drawing attention to the more-than-human relations of artisanal bread making, it demonstrates the ethical possibilities of an entrepreneuring that remains open, attentive and curious towards others and the capacities of matter, as a basis for collective future-making.","PeriodicalId":48433,"journal":{"name":"Human Relations","volume":"211 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143528296","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}
