The good, the unconscious, and the dynamic: rethinking disidentification at work
No full textDisidentification refers to an individual’s perceived sense of separation from: (a) personal characteristics or traits (personal disidentification, e.g., not identifying as a smoker); (b) a role or relationship (relational disidentification, e.g., not identifying as a leader); and/or (c) a group (social disidentification, e.g., not identifying with an organization) (Elsbach, 1999). Together, identification (a sense of oneness) with and disidentification (a sense of separation) from targets shape an individual’s identity (Stone, 1962). Existing research has predominantly focused on the detrimental consequences of disidentification, ranging from boycott and public disparagement (Elsbach and Bhattacharya, 2001; Pratt, 2000) to workplace deviance (Bolton et al., 2012) and organizational crimes (e.g., Vadera & Pratt, 2013). However, the overwhelming focus on negative outcomes has contributed to disidentification’s receiving less scholarly attention compared to identification (Kalkman, 2023; Kreiner & Ashforth, 2004). The papers in this symposium seek to reinvigorate research on disidentification by addressing key limitations: its prevailing characterization as dysfunctional, the lack of consensus on its definition and mechanisms, and the limited exploration of its temporal dynamics (Ashforth, Harrison, & Corley, 2008).

A green wage premium?
Get PDFMany governments have set ambitious climate goals that require a shift away from fossil fuel-intensive industries toward climate-neutral jobs. We use rich administrative register data to estimate green wage premiums in the presence of nonrandom sorting of workers across firms. On average, green firms pay statistically significant and economically meaningful wage premiums, consistent with a pattern of rent-sharing in high-revenue, highly innovative green firms. The premium is larger for non-college workers and those in low-skilled occupations. However, the average estimated wage premium for high-carbon firms is roughly twice as large as the green wage premium. This finding suggests that while the expansion of high-wage green firms may help mitigate the earnings losses associated with decarbonization, it is unlikely to fully offset them
The dream progressive voivodship
No full textDrawing on the tradition of the Law and Literature movement, this chapter presents a fictional narrative centered on a multiethnic group of friends in the Pomeranian (Pomorskie) voivodship after the constitutional reform proposed in this volume. Set against the backdrop of Gdansk, the historic capital of the voivodship, the story describes the protagonists engaging in a discussion about how the lives of ordinary people have transformed in a region traditionally dominated by more liberal, pro-European parties. With newly decentralized powers granted by the reform, the region now has the opportunity to reinforce its progressive tendencies, shaping a new chapter in its political and social landscape
Dignity, properly used, could be a useful construct in AI ethics
Get PDFRueda et al. argue that the concept of dignity is problematic for AI ethics due to its complexity, ambiguity, and biased usage. While agreeing on many points, we propose that adding the necessary precision to the use of the term is neither difficult nor onerous. Further, doing so may allow understanding of the factors that promote dignity affirmation, match the multifaceted nature of AI systems themselves, and promote pragmatically better design outcomes than will be likely if the idea is avoided in AI ethics discussions
The European Union and the Syria conflict: The cost of policy incoherence
No full textWhat role did the European Union (EU) play in the early stages of the Syria conflict, and what can it tell us about EU actorness in an increasingly multipolar world? With the reluctance of the United States to lead, and stalemate at the United Nations, the stage seemed set for the EU to justify its ambitions to be a global actor on a par with the USA. Prior to the outbreak of the Syrian war in 2011, the EU had developed various instruments of external action that focused on conflict prevention, human security, and refugee protection programmes - all of which were available for implementation and which would have served to highlight the EU's distinct contribution in world affairs. This chapter argues that the EU lacked coherence in its early response to the Syrian crisis, and failed to offer an alternative to the geopolitical impasse between regional and international actors. Drawing upon Chartlotte Bretherton and John Vogler's framework for institutional actorness, the chapter evaluates EU policies towards the Syrian conflict through the lenses of opportunity, presence, and capability, highlighting member state divisions, structural incapacities, and role confusion as key explanatory factors
Decoding Latin America: key insights for understanding climate action in the region
Get PDFThis report, co-produced with the Centre for Economic Transition Expertise (CETEx), decodes the landscape of political and economic climate action in Latin America by providing a synthetic overview of 10 Latin American countries as of early November 2025: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico, Panama, Peru and Uruguay. It is designed to inform policymakers, researchers and finance actors who intend to engage with stakeholders from the analysed countries during the 30th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP30), which will take place in Brazil from 10 to 21 November 2025
How the Great Recession affected millennial education and careers
Get PDFIn 2025 the proportion of young British people aged 16 to 24 who were not in education, employment or training was at its highest since 2014. How much impact do educational choices made at that age have on future careers? Chiara Cavaglia and Sandra McNally show how investment in post-16 education can improve career prospects
What makes national climate action investable?
Get PDFThe COP30 summit in Brazil marked a key moment for countries to restate their climate commitments and announce new 2035 targets. Focussing on national climate plans, Carmen Nuzzo and Antonina Scheer discuss the value of evidence-based ASCOR research in informing investor-sovereign engagement and showing how governments can drive investment in climate action
When social media meets food culture: Kuwait's health growing public challenge
Get PDFA silent public health crisis is boiling under the surface in Kuwait. In recent years, the country has witnessed a sharp rise in nutrition-related diseases such as diabetes, obesity, and hypertension. Data from multiple international agencies point unequivocally to worsening health conditions associated with eating practices. The World Obesity Atlas 2024 reports that more than 75% of adults in Kuwait are overweight, with nearly half classified as obese. Likewise, the World Health Organization’s Global Report on Hypertension (2023) shows prevalence rates above 40% – far exceeding the global average of 30%
