Rather than focusing on employees’ direct experiences with unpredictable and inconsistent leaders, prior research has primarily measured changes in specific leader behavior over time or the interactive effects of seemingly opposing leader behaviors. Yet, this is not the same as perceiving that a leader has a consistently erratic style. Here, we conceptualize and systematically operationalize capricious supervision , defined as an employee’s perception of their leader’s frequent changes in decisions and treatment toward them. Across three studies with five employee samples, we develop a scale of capricious supervision (Study 1) and establish its discriminant and predictive validity by differentiating it from abusive supervision, justice variability (Study 2), and ambivalent leadership (Study 3) and examining its impact on employee outcomes (Study 3). Grounded in the stressor-strain model, we find that employees experiencing capricious supervision perceive their work as uncertain and frustrating, leading to emotional exhaustion, poor sleep quality, and counterproductive work behavior. Together, we provide a clear understanding of capricious supervision as a distinct leadership style, opening a conversation on its role in the workplace.","PeriodicalId":48433,"journal":{"name":"Human Relations","volume":"72 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145260781","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, research on the socialization process of high-performing newcomers is relatively scarce, especially regarding how these employees actively integrate into a new work environment. To address this gap, we integrated social influence theory and role expectation theory to examine the distinct reactions of leaders and coworkers to high-performing newcomers’ showing vulnerability. The results from 211 high-performing newcomers and their colleagues reveal that when high-performing newcomers exhibit vulnerability toward their leaders, it leads to a negative impact on the leaders’ perception of their ability, then results in decreased proactive support from the leaders. Notably, this mediating effect is negatively moderated by leader perfectionism. However, when high-performing newcomers display vulnerability toward their coworkers, it negatively influences the coworkers’ perception of potential threat, consequently leading to an increase in proactive support from them. This mediating effect is further negatively moderated by the group competition climate. Moreover, the research provides empirical evidence supporting the profound socialization impacts of proactive support from leaders and coworkers, affecting job performance, social adjustment, and promotability. In summary, this study has significant theoretical and practical implications for newcomer socialization, interpersonal influence strategies, authentic self-disclosure, and high-performing employee literature.","PeriodicalId":48433,"journal":{"name":"Human Relations","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145246391","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}

Utilizing an ethnographic methodology and drawing upon Goffman’s work concerning dramaturgy and secrecy, we answer this question. We discover how fathers employed within the high-pressure UK legal profession develop a suite of strategic tactics to mislead colleagues into assuming that they are not fathers at all. We untangle and reveal how fathers achieved these impressions, highlighting the complex nature of covering and counter-uncovering moves that men used to conceal their paternity. We show how, when performing on the organizational front stage, fathers adopt the role of job-oriented ideal-worker, casting fathering, in Goffmanian terms, into the shadows as a dark secret (Jaworski, 2021). As a result, men restrict ‘involved fathering’ to the backstage of their home settings. In offering new perspectives on the choices that fathers make in relation to how they navigate the contradictory ideals of traditional and involved fatherhood, our paper challenges prevailing notions of workplace fatherhood, illuminating how fathers experience and respond to workplace glorification of the ideal-worker image, with important implications for theory and future research on work and family, and fathering practices.","PeriodicalId":48433,"journal":{"name":"Human Relations","volume":"126 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145254630","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 study shifts focus to employers, exploring how their practices address recruitment challenges. Our qualitative investigation of 39 Australia-based employers identifies two sets of barriers—proximal and distal—and the corresponding practices employers adopt to overcome them. We find that these barriers differ in the assumed scale, locus of influence, and the nature of impact. Through a practice theory lens, we demonstrate how employers’ responses to these barriers have the capacity to reproduce or alter the socio-structural conditions in which refugee employment takes place. While most employers focus on adaptive practices targeting proximal barriers, transformative practices aimed at tackling the distal barriers play a key role in rectifying structural disparities in the recruitment of disadvantaged groups. Our study advances refugee employment literature by demonstrating how employers’ assumptions around the barriers can deter employer engagement and limit impact. We highlight the managerial implications by demonstrating how employers can drive meaningful change in areas traditionally considered the domain of other actors, effectively addressing challenges in the employment landscape.","PeriodicalId":48433,"journal":{"name":"Human Relations","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145072539","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 research explores the dynamic triggers of BLM as an activated mental state, moving beyond static individual differences. Based on threat rigidity theory, we propose that time pressure can drive people to adopt BLM by fostering local processing—a narrow focus on immediate tasks. We further suggest that temporal leadership can moderate the relationship between time pressure and local processing, thereby mitigating subsequent BLM. Through three studies, we test this model: Study 1 uses a lab experiment with eye-tracking to confirm time pressure’s causal effect on local processing ( n = 120); Study 2, an online experiment, establishes the causal link between local processing and BLM by manipulating local processing ( n = 300); and Study 3, an experience sampling study with 101 employees over 10 workdays, validates the complete theoretical model. Our findings reveal how time pressure shapes BLM through local processing and highlight temporal leadership as a practical buffer. We discuss implications for managing workplace time pressure and propose future research directions to deepen understanding of the state-like nature of BLM in organizations.","PeriodicalId":48433,"journal":{"name":"Human Relations","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145072517","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}

To address this issue, we examined the Indian beauty salon occupation, which has long faced core occupational stigma due to physical, moral, caste-based taints, and low occupational prestige. By drawing on published celebrity beautician interviews and conducting semi-structured interviews with salon owners and customers, we found that modifying stigmatized occupational elements and conveying these modifications to society play a crucial role in occupational destigmatization. Specifically, occupational members crafted the core-stigmatized elements of the beauty salon occupation—people, purpose, and processes (3Ps)—with the support of the relevant stakeholders. Changes were then communicated to society through direct interactions and social media, challenging caste-based associations and branding the occupation alongside non-stigmatized, high-prestige occupations. Together, these activities help address the root cause of stigma and disseminate occupational knowledge beyond caste boundaries. Our work theoretically extends the destigmatization literature by framing destigmatization at the occupational level, offering new insights into how core-stigmatized occupations reshaped societal perception and address intractable stigma, such as those linked to caste.","PeriodicalId":48433,"journal":{"name":"Human Relations","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144898965","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}

Building on the literature on embodied identity work, we conducted 31 interviews with professional mothers in Finland to explore this question. We illustrate how mothers engage with the body and material objects to shape identities while being shaped by the agentic, symbolic and affective power of materiality. We emphasise the agency of materialities, such as aching flesh, affective makeup and everyday materiality, not only in shaping the body’s surface but also in influencing the sense of self. The identity of professional mothers is thus reconfigured through the dynamic interplay of agential flesh, objects and sociocultural forces. We contribute to discussions on the agency of materiality in embodied identity work by theorising its stigmatised, ‘fleshy’ aspects and emphasising matters ‘out of place’ and ‘out of control’, alongside bodily dysfunctions that often remain unspoken. We additionally illustrate how motherhood may facilitate subtle micro-resistance to normative expectations, thereby allowing women to challenge dominant views of their professions and organisations as rational, disembodied and fleshless – where materiality is treated as discursive rather than lived.","PeriodicalId":48433,"journal":{"name":"Human Relations","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144901384","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}

To investigate how firms internationalise under 2 boundary conditions – resource dependency and variations in institutional quality – we apply the Heckman-type selection bias and use 186,027 firms spread across 137 countries, with data collected through multiple firm surveys conducted by the World Bank Enterprise Surveys between 2006 and 2024. Our empirical findings demonstrate the double-edged sword of corruption. While it positively affects firm exports by mitigating bureaucratic procedures at the managerial level, the effect on exports turns negative as it increases uncertainty and operational costs at the macro-level.

We address this question by drawing on a study of Latin American sustainability professionals who, while spending time in Amazonia, experienced a fundamental ontological shift in the way they understand their relationship with nature. Our theoretical contribution lies in elaborating a phenomenologically oriented relational ontology, which means paying attention to how our bodies/emotions/senses can help us understand our relationship with nature in more embedded and existential ways: as human/subject–nature/subject where both have agency. This extends current relational ontologies by elucidating how feeling nature in the depths of our being can be transformational in how we understand and act upon our ecological responsibilities. We draw on Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology as philosophical positioning and interpretative phenomenological analysis as the research method. Four experiential themes highlight how our research participants’ understanding of their relationship with nature changed from separation (human/subject–nature/object) to intertwinement, and impacted their personal and professional lives in significant ways. Experiencing life in this way brings a sense of respect and responsibility for nature that we hope will resonate and encourage readers to think differently about our relationship with nature.","PeriodicalId":48433,"journal":{"name":"Human Relations","volume":"81 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144702072","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}
