Identity as a Foundation for Human Resource Development (Routledge Studies in Human Resource Development)
by Kate Black Russell Warhurst Sandra CorlettHuman Resource Development (HRD) involves the design, delivery and evaluation of learning and/or training interventions within organisations to improve the work performance of individuals and groups. This edited collection will demonstrate the potential of identity theorising for problematizing and reconceptualising HRD activities. Identity will thus be established as a foundation for enhancing HRD policy and practice. While identity has emerged as a key focus for theoretical debate and for empirical research within management and organisational studies, the potential of identity as a new paradigm for understanding learning and for examining HRD more broadly is still emergent. That identity has such potential can be seen in the increasing recognition that training and development for many contemporary occupations represents nothing less than a "project of the self". Identity as a Foundation for Human Resource Development will complete a gap in the market providing sound, single source, theoretical foundations from the latest trends in identity theorising, now a key area of organisation studies, and apply these to HRD policy and practice. The emphasis throughout will be on informing HRD policy and practice, research and education the book includes a chapter on resources and techniques for HRD educators. In short, the book will "put identity to work" for HRD scholars. The intended audiences are Human Resource Development scholars, academics, students and professionals, this exciting new volume will provide a thoughtful theoretical analysis and operational practise for modern HRD.
Identity at Work
by Eric OlmedoThis book investigates the interface of ethnicity with occupation, empirically observed in luxury international hotels in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It employs the two main disciplines of anthropology and sociology in order to understand the root causes and meaning of ethnicity at work within the hospitality industry sector. More specifically, it observes social change in a multi-ethnic and non-secular society through an ethnographic study located in a micro organisation: the Grand Hotel. At the individual level, this research shows how identity shifts and transformation can be mediated through the consumption and manipulation of food at the workplace. In addition, it combines an ambitious theoretical discussion on the concept of ethnicity together with empirical data that highlights how ethnicity is lived on an everyday basis at a workplace manifesting the dynamics of cultural, religious and ethnic diversity. The book presents the quantitative and qualitative findings of two complementary surveys and pursues an interdisciplinary approach, as it integrates methodologies from the sociology of organisations with classic fieldwork methods borrowed from ethnology, while combining French and Anglo-Saxon schools of thoughts on questions of identity and ethnicity. The results of the cultural contact occurring in a westernised pocket of the global labour market - in which social practices derive from the headquarters located in a society where ethnicity is self-ascribed - with Malaysian social actors to whom ethnicity is assigned will be of particular interest for social scientists and general readers alike.
Identity at Work
by John ChandlerThis insightful book draws on a range of contemporary and classic studies to explore the connection between the personal experience of work and the wider social structures in which it takes place. Identity at Work examines key social identities relevant to the workplace, such as those based on gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity and race, disability, age, occupation, class and organizational membership. Using research from a wide variety of countries and academic approaches, this book provides a readable and engaging introduction to the issues, exploring how people experience work, understand and present themselves at work, and relate to others. Providing an accessible investigation of work and identity, this text will be valuable to students looking at organizational behaviour, HRM, diversity management and the sociology of work.
Identity, Meaning, and Subjectivity in Career Development
by Julie GedroThis book closely interrogates the construct of identity and the role it plays in career development. It provides guidance for HRD practitioners and researchers who create career development programs through a typology of different categories of identity, such as demographics, life events, and career histories. The book presents a framework for considering and addressing career development from a critically reflective perspective of identity as a result of choice, chance, and adaptation. It offers a comprehensive understanding and awareness of tacit, nuanced, and stigmatized issues that were once shameful but have now become more socially acceptable. As a result, HRD practitioners can design programs and resources that have a richness and relevance that might heretofore be lacking. The book also offers guidance for individuals as they take charge of their own identities and career trajectories in an increasingly complex and unpredictable working environment.
Identity, Pedagogy and Technology-enhanced Learning: Supporting the Processes of Becoming a Tradesperson (Professional and Practice-based Learning #27)
by Selena ChanThis book gathers work from over a decade of study, and seeks to better understand and support how learners become tradespeople. The research programme applies recent concepts from neuroscience, educational psychology and technology-enhanced learning to explain and help overcome the challenges of learning in trades-learning contexts. Due to the complex and multifarious nature of the work characterising trade occupations, learning how to become a tradesperson requires a significant commitment in terms of time, along with physical and cognitive effort. All modalities (visual, aural, haptic etc.) and literacies (text, numerical, spatial etc.) are required when undertaking trade work. Manual dexterity and strength, coupled with the technical and tacit knowledge required for complex problem solving, not to mention suitable dispositional approaches, must all be learnt and focused on becoming a tradesperson.However, there is a substantial gap in the literature on 'how people learn a trade' and 'how to teach a trade'. In this book, contemporary teaching and learning approaches and strategies, as derived through practice-based participatory research, are used to highlight and discuss pragmatic solutions to facilitate the learning and teaching of trade skills, knowledge and dispositions. The approaches and strategies discussed include the implementation of technology-enhanced learning; project-based inquiry/problem-based learning; and recommendations to ensure learners are prepared for the future of work.
Identity, Power and Influence in the Boardroom: Actionable Strategies for Developing High Impact Directors and Boards
by Meena ThuraisinghamOver the last decade, the role of the board of directors in deciding on potentially value-creating decisions has gained greater prominence. Following extensive board research into the origins, reasons, effects and consequences of boardroom influence of directors, this book prepares directors for playing a more influential role in shaping such decisions. Boards are only as effective as the relationships their members have with each other. Despite this, many of the published guides on board work do not focus sufficiently on the human dimension of governance, nor has there been a comprehensive understanding of the effect that group membership has on the decision behaviour of the individual director, or vice versa. The author offers the reader actionable strategies to successfully navigate the complex dynamics that are inevitable when a group of powerful individuals with strong individual identities has to work together. Without a realistic understanding of the silent risks that a suboptimal dynamic may pose to the processes of making critical decisions, boards may find their decision outcomes compromised. Despite the best intentions, such dynamics can have a chilling effect on an individual director’s contribution, marginalising or diminishing the value of their contribution and their influence on the board. This book will be a valuable resource guide for aspiring and experienced company directors wishing to strengthen their effectiveness in the advisory role and develop a more influential voice in shaping the strategic direction of their companies.

Identity-Based Leader Development
by Herminia Ibarra Scott A. Snook Laura Guillen RamoAre leaders born or made? In other words, are leadership skills innate or can they be taught? The consensus is that leaders are made-but that people start with different levels of innate ability. Using this assumption as a jumping-off point, the authors of this chapter argue that the development of leadership skills is directly linked to a person's self-concept or identity. In exploring this identity-based model of leadership development, they discuss the key transitions and experiences that shape leaders' careers, such as taking a significant (and role-changing) step up the organizational ladder. They suggest that helping people make "identity transitions"-allowing them to shed outdated identities that hinder change and creating opportunities for them to practice (and make mistakes with) new identities is a key component of leadership development-and one that invites further research. This chapter was originally published as Chapter 22 of "Handbook of Leadership Theory and Practice: A Harvard Business School Centennial Colloquium."
Identity-Trajectories of Early Career Researchers: Unpacking the Post-PhD Experience
by Cheryl Amundsen Lynn McAlpineThe book asks how we can make sense of career paths for PhD graduates, something that has rarely been systematically studied. It offers a coherent synthesis of the empirically-based insights that arose from the experiences of 48 early career researchers, who were participants in a 10-year qualitative longitudinal research program. The book has the power to inform other researchers’ conceptual and methodological approaches to the study of post-PhD career trajectories. The authors draw on the conceptual lens of ‘identity-trajectory’, which emerged from their research program, to examine the decision-making processes underpinning the careers of PhD graduates, whether contingent researchers and teachers, assistant professors within the academy or professionals elsewhere. The book highlights the role of personal agency in negotiating academic and non-academic work and careers within broader personal lives. It will be compelling reading for researchers and students working in the areas of Education and Sociology, particularly those with an interest in examining career development and decision-making.
Identity: Transforming Performance through Integrated Identity Management
by Mark RowdenMark Rowden's first book, The Art of Identity was internationally recognized as a seminal work on the creation and definition of corporate identity. This much-revised and extended edition, simply titled Identity, offers further crucial knowledge about how to integrate identity into the wider commercial and financial objectives of the organization. Rowden's radical approach dispenses with common branding misconceptions and explains how to interrogate your strategy and objectives as never before through the relative weighting of three key 'averages': product, distribution and identity. He demonstrates how, by re-examining market position and values on this basis, you can redefine the content and focus of your identity, grading all visual and behavioural communications - an approach called, show tell do - into critical priorities, and then distill key values into firmwords, against which all communications can be rapidly focused as well as measured. The real examples in this book demonstrate firmwords in action. Later chapters illustrate issues of style, colour, names, logos, typefaces, structure, and how the challenges of fashion can be met. Identity also argues a new methodology for managing the creative process between the organization and its creative suppliers.

Sie gehen der Frage nach, ob und wie sich diese Konzepte durch moderne Arbeitsformen und Organisationstypen wie Projektarbeit, Matrixorganisationen und Netzwerkstrukturen verändert haben. Einen weiteren Schwerpunkt der Beiträge stellen die kurz- und mittelfristigen Auswirkungen dieser Veränderungen auf Mitarbeiter und Führungskräfte dar.Die Stiftung der Schweizerischen Gesellschaft für Organisation und Management SGO sowie die Hochschule für Soziale Arbeit der Fachhochschule Nordwestschweiz unterstützten diesen Tagungsband.
Identitätsbasierte Luxusmarkenführung
by Christoph Burmann Jörg Meurer Verena KönigNach heutiger Auffassung folgt die Führung von Luxusmarken anderen Gesetzen als im Premium- oder im Basismarkensegment, denn bei Luxusmarken rühren Faszination und Begehrlichkeit aus ihren mythisch aufgeladenen Markenidentitäten. Diese Markenidentitäten zu kreieren und die Marke auf der Basis dieser wesensprägenden Eigenschaften exklusiv und nachhaltig zu steuern, stellt eine zentrale Aufgabe im Luxussegment dar. Luxusmarken genießen eine ungebrochen hohe Nachfrage, müssen sich aber auch neuen Herausforderungen stellen, wie z.B. Vertrauenskrise, Social Media, Green Luxury. Renommierte Autoren nehmen Stellung zu den Herausforderungen der Luxusmarkenführung und gewähren aus der Perspektive von Wissenschaft und Praxis in zugänglicher Weise ansprechende Einblicke.

Identitätskonstruktionen in der Aktivgesellschaft: Biographische Positionierungen im arbeitsideologischen Diskurs (Transformation des Sozialen – Transformation Sozialer Arbeit #10)
by Anna Kristina SailerAnna Kristina Sailer nimmt auf Basis einer narrativen Analyse die Identitätskonstruktionen junger Erwachsener in der Aktivgesellschaft in den Blick. Der Begriff der Aktivgesellschaft umschreibt dabei das veränderte Verhältnis von Individuum und Erwerbsarbeit. Dabei geht die Autorin davon aus, dass sich durch die aktivierende Arbeitsmarktpolitik eine arbeitsideologische Zuspitzung ergeben hat, die sich sowohl in einem verschärften Diskurs als auch in den Identitätskonstruktionen der jungen Erwachsenen widerspiegelt. Diskurs, Ideologie und Identität werden dabei als wechselseitige Konstitutionsbedingungen verstanden, denn vor dem Hintergrund des arbeitsideologischen Diskurses positionieren junge Erwachsene sich selbst und andere und werden zugleich von anderen (fremd)positioniert. Die Zielgruppe der jungen Erwachsenen ist dabei besonders von arbeitsideologischen Anrufungen betroffen, da sie in der Statuspassage des beruflichen Übergangs von der (Hoch)schule in den Beruf ihre Aktivierung und Eigenverantwortung in besonderer Weise unter Beweis stellen muss. Durch eine Kombination von biographischen Fallrekonstruktionen und Metaphernanalysen verdeutlicht die Autorin in ihrer Studie, wie sich junge Erwachsene im biographischen Interview im Sprechen mit arbeitsideologischen Diskursen vernähen, wenn sie Identität konstruieren und zeigt dabei auf, wie arbeitsideologische Anrufungen letztlich auch die Handlungsfähigkeit junger Erwachsener in der Aktivgesellschaft beeinflussen.

Ideology and Rationality in the Soviet Model: A legacy for Gorbachev (Routledge Revivals)
by Stefan Hedlund Kristian GernerFirst published in 1989, Ideology and Rationality in the Soviet Model assumes that since the October Revolution the development of the Soviet Union has essentially been a process of trial and error. Economic rationality has been sacrificed to political expedients, and the cultural sphere has been put to use as a legitimating and rationalizing device. This book analyses the internal logic of this process from the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution to Gorbachev’s ‘revolution from above’, including coverage of the Stalin, Khrushchev and Brezhnev eras. The book focuses on the structural determinants of the Soviet Model, thus seeking to reveal the specific rationalities that characterizes ‘Soviet man’. Its conclusion casts serious doubt on the likelihood of new policies defeating seven decades of Bolshevik rule and social indoctrination. It will be of interest to students of economics, political science and history.
Ideology and Shop-Floor Industrial Relations (Routledge Revivals)
by P. J. Armstrong J. F. Goodman J. D. HymanFirst Published in 1981, Ideology and Shop-Floor Industrial Relations is based on data obtained in observational research amongst managers, shop stewards and workers, examines the informal processes by which accommodations are or are not, reached by managers and workers. Since the publication of the Donovan Report industrial relations research has increasingly moved away from studies of formal procedures and institutions and focused more on informal custom and practice. In this book, the authors develop a theory of workplace rule making, and argue that it is in negotiations over such detailed and often minor daily industrial issues that the relationship between capital and labour is worked out. This book is a must read for scholars of industrial economics and management studies.

It will be of interest to anthropologists, students of political science and specialists in Latin American studies.
Idiosyncratic Deals at Work: Exploring Individual, Organizational, and Societal Perspectives
by Smriti Anand Yasin RofcaninIdiosyncratic deals (I-deals) are individualized work agreements negotiated between employee and employer. Examples include working from home, shortened work days and/or weeks, and taking on responsibilities not enumerated in the job description. I-deals fulfil unique employee needs that lay outside the employer’s standard offerings, and engender a wide range of positive outcomes for both parties, such as employee well-being, work-life balance, career development, and enhanced job performance and citizenship behaviors. I-deals have the potential to be a strategic HR device for addressing the changing needs and preferences of employees, employers, and the wider society in the post-pandemic era.This new collection provides a holistic, integrated and interdisciplinary overview of i-deals from leading scholars in the area. In addressing topics such as the sociological impact of i-deals, issues of power, privilege and fairness, and HR differentiation, this volume examines i-deals at the individual, team, organizational, and societal levels. The book will be useful to scholars and practitioners alike by offering a nuanced understanding of i-deals in workgroup settings, extending research on this relevant topic, and offering managerial prescriptions for institutionalizing i-deals as a global strategic human resource management device.
