Theoretical Insights into the Practices of Revealing and Concealing Gender within Organizations
No full textIssues of visibility and invisibility are becoming increasingly apparent in gender research in organizations. This book will not only further develop current theoretical ideas around being seen and unseen within organizations, but will also provide us with the opportunity to problematize the concepts of visibility and invisibilit
Group Coaching for Leaders in Transition to Senior Leadership Positions
Full text linkThis study explores how group coaching can support leaders in transition to senior leadership positions, and develops a theoretical and practical framework to inform group coaching practice. Leader transitions are not measured, though they may be a factor in leadership failure, as transitions are known to be difficult at senior levels. The preparatory phase of the research triangulated the secondary data and updated understanding of the challenges facing leaders in transition, and how dyadic coaching supported them. This was based on interviews with leaders and coaches, and it guided the development of a group coaching programme. The action phase of the study involved the application and exploration of an online group coaching programme, through two cycles of action research. This was followed by a reflexive thematic analysis of the data.
Findings reaffirm how leaders can experience a disorienting and tumultuous period in transition, based on the nature of the roles they step into, the context within which they are leading and the psychological challenges associated with personal transition. Group coaching served to normalise these challenges and resource senior leaders. Outcomes included clarity around what it meant to be a senior leader, how to relate to and engage with others, and how to lead in a senior position.
Theoretical contributions to knowledge relate to how group coaching works, through the identification of three sequential steps: co-creating a safe and productive space to work in, offering many relevant inputs into the space, and leaders processing these inputs. Contributions to practical application include a two-part framework which outlines how to establish a group coaching programme and what this involves for the coach. The study also contributes to knowledge about senior leader transitions by updating understanding of the challenges leaders face, clarifying the process of transition, and summarising the basis of the coaching inquiry. Further contributions include how group coaching can support leader and leadership development. This research confirms knowledge that may be obvious to those working and researching in the field of senior leader transitions, groups and coaching. However, it offers novel insight into how group coaching works, the impact of the challenges of contemporary senior leadership, and how leaders coming together for their own development can also develop leadership in organisations.

Gender and Emotions: Introduction
No full textGendering Emotions in Organizations is an edited collection that explores the connections between gender and emotion in organizations. In its examination of these connections, this book focuses on two specific areas: emotional labour and the gendered nature of the expression of feelings at work
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
