Counterproductive work behavior toward the organization (CWB-O) or supervisor (CWB-S) is commonly treated as a consequence of psychological contract breach (PCB). However, drawing from Self-Consistency Theory, the authors in this article argue that the PCB–CWB relationship is recursive through two mediating mechanisms: self-identity threat and organizational cynicism. Furthermore, the authors predict that the relationship between feelings of violation and CWB-O (or CWB-S) would depend on the extent to which the victim attributed blame to the organization (or supervisor). Using weekly and daily survey data, the study found that identity threat was a stronger mediator for recursive CWB–PCB relationships. Moreover, it was found that PCB related positively to violation feelings, which in turn related positively to CWB-O and CWB-S over time. As predicted, the former was moderated by organizational blame attributions, whereas the latter was moderated by supervisor blame attributions. The authors discuss the theoretical implications and propose novel practical implications based on these reciprocal findings.

Perceived identity threat and organizational cynicism in the recursive relationship between psychological contract breach and counterproductive work behavior

感知身份威胁与组织犬儒主义在心理契约违背与反生产工作行为递归关系中的作用

This study examines how organizational context affects employee reactions to perceived psychological contract breach. Using Conservation of Resources and Social Comparison theories, the authors develop competing hypotheses regarding the potential exacerbating vs. buffering effects of organizational context on the relationships between psychological contract breach and job security satisfaction, job satisfaction, work–family conflict, and burnout. They collected a multi-source, multilevel data set composed of faculty and departmental administrators at a university experiencing repeated budget reductions. It was found that psychological contract breach was related to detrimental job outcomes (i.e., decreased job security satisfaction and job satisfaction, increased work–family conflict, and burnout). However, this relationship was stronger among faculty in departments reporting low rather than high departmental budget cuts, thus supporting Social Comparison theory rather than Conservation of Resources theory. Social comparison matters when it comes to psychological contract breach.

Organizational context and employee reactions to psychological contract breach: A multilevel test of competing theories

组织情境与员工对心理契约违背的反应：竞争理论的多层次检验

This article engages a moral economy (ME) approach with mobilisation theory (MT), using Sayer’s concept of lay morality to examine how solidarity was articulated and developed during a hunger strike. It argues that subjective moral evaluations and the historical context influenced solidarity and the outcomes of the strike. To explore this, a theoretical engagement between ME and MT found that solidarity was based on strong moral evaluations by workers and union leaders within a historically informed moral economy. The article confirms the analytical value of theoretically engaging ME and MT to provide a more fertile ground for understanding solidarity.

The moral economy of solidarity: A study of the 2017 hunger strike in Mauritius

团结的道德经济：毛里求斯2017年绝食抗议研究

Research has overlooked management’s role in silencing workers, particularly in the context of physically and digitally mediated work. Given the rise of such work, it is imperative to study how workers experience and respond to managerial silencing. Based on 49 in-depth worker interviews in Nigeria, this study identifies key factors contributing to managerial silencing, including how external environmental perceptions and a lack of individual agency amplify this phenomenon. Platform workers employ collective organising and social media to voice their concerns, while agency workers rely on non-confrontational mechanisms and peer support. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.

Workers’ resistance to managerial silencing: A comparative study of temporary agency and platform workers’ voice in a developing context

工人对管理性沉默的抵制：发展中背景下临时机构工人和平台工人发声的比较研究

In recent decades there has been a perceptible rise in employment precarity across professions, industries, institutions and economies, including for managerial grades. In this article the authors contend that this emanates from an implicit neoliberal governance agenda promoting deepening career uncertainty amidst transformative digital innovation and radical corporate restructuring. Among the effects of such changes have been managers experiencing longer working hours, greater work intensification and worsening work–life balance. The authors argue such effects have been particularly acute for women and notably under the institutional (economic, political and social) constraints of the coronavirus pandemic. Presenting quasi-longitudinal information from three qualitative studies (based on data collected variously in Japan, the UK and USA in 2002–2006, 2015–2019 and 2020–2021) the article considers not only women managers’ experiences of work since the millennium, but also their occupational prospects for the future. The authors conclude that under neoliberalism the enduring interaction of organizational restructuring, precarious employment and work intensification will continue to affect adversely the equilibrium between women managers’ personal lives and their professional work, given many confront increasing demands of corporate availability and work-related connectivity whilst simultaneously dealing with significant parenting and care responsibilities.

Organizational restructuring, precarious employment and work intensification: Women managers’ experience of work under neoliberalism

组织重组、不稳定就业和工作强化：新自由主义下女性经理的工作体验

This article applies the concept of a ‘moral economy’ to the actions of the rich and powerful. The author focuses attention on business owners and provides a case study of a late nineteenth-century provincial businessman and his dismissal of two long-serving employees, an act which caused outrage in his community. The author questions how the morality of employment, job rights and dismissal developed subsequently and sketches developments up to the 1960s. The article then provides a more speculative discussion of the effects of changes in corporate law on corporate behaviour and suggests they have had a tendency to produce a moral irresponsibility in the behaviour of corporate officers.

The moral economy of the rich

富人的道德经济

This article offers a critical commentary upon historian EP Thompson’s pioneering research, carried out between the 1960s and 1980s, into the notion of moral economy. It addresses the main features of Thompson’s moral economy, his methodology and his profound, but also contested and ambivalent legacy to subsequent scholars. Set within the specific historical context of eighteenth-century England, Thompson’s moral economy revealed in new and original ways the often strained and conflict-ridden relations and actions between the working population and its rulers around the marketing of food and the price of bread. Thompson paid particular attention to food riots. They clearly illustrated the conflict, between, on the one hand, the traditional regulatory customs of some of the ruled and their supporters and the ‘free-market’ innovations of increasing numbers of their rulers. Thompson offered a historical-materialist reading of moral economy, situated in social contexts, relations and actions as well as in values and norms. Having addressed key empirical and methodological issues, the article proceeds to a critical examination of Thompson’s legacy. This covers the deep and widespread influence of Thompson’s moral economy, academically and geographically, its weaknesses as well as strengths and the ways in which he responded to reviews. In the last section, ‘Moral economy at the crossroads’, the article outlines and comments upon some of the key characteristics of the recent and ongoing single-, multi- and cross-disciplinary proliferation of studies of moral economy. It concludes by briefly indicating the ways in which future research into moral economy may fruitfully develop.
