Abstract:

Frequently the world of innovation and discoveries give credit to eminent works of fiction for glancing into the future. Fiction writers are the unacknowledged legislators of the world, who reveal truth that reality obscures. Science related to the workplace has started looking backward to move forward and we have examples of ideas like servant leadership & organizational existentialism that emerged out of work of fiction. In light of the emerging discourses on the workplace and anticipated worldview of the post pandemic world, an uncertain future is looming over mankind with automation of

Abstract:

Not only is the workplace a significant site of the social construction of feminine and masculine identities but in an increasing range of service sector occupations, a gendered bodily performance is a significant part of selling a product. In this paper, we draw on Butler's notion of gender identity as a regulatory fiction to investigate the consequences of the specificity of embodiment and gendered performances. Drawing on three case studies in the City of London, we explore the differential fictions constructed by men and women engaged in interactive service work in a professional capacity

Abstract:

This paper discusses the relationships between fiction and working lives by exploring the roles of empathy and sustainability in how people read and perceive fiction in relation to their own private and working lives. The paper problematizes some notions manifesting within these relationships by discussing how ideology infiltrates both the understanding of concepts themselves as well as how they relate to each other. Hence, it thereby discusses how the individual experience of fiction has an effect on behavior but is influenced by ideological beliefs about society which are largely implicit to

Background and Aim.Gamification is growing in popularity in education and workplace training, but it is unclear which game elements are conducive to learning. The theory of gamified learning suggests that one type of gamification, the addition of game fiction/narrative, can be used to improve learning outcomes, and the Technology-Enhanced Training Effectiveness Model (TETEM) suggests individual differences impact the strength of this effect. From this theoretical basis, this study gamified a training module with game fiction in order to improve outcomes over the original training. Results and

The figure of the entreprise functions both as a fictional representation of the post-Fordist workplace environment in companies such as France Télécom, and also as a means of tackling wider issues of work and social organisation in an era of neoliberal managerialism.

Extending beyond the workplace, the drive for maximal efficiency is shown to generate unstable forms of subjectivity that are structured around thermodynamics, the body’s use of energy. Th

ABSTRACT: The French office novel is unique in emphasizing the irregular and destructive experience of time in corporate life. One of the more distinctive aspects of this genre is its obsession with death and dying. Treating these two obsessions together, this article introduces a new concept, necrotemporality . Necrotemporality is a mode for conveying the urgent ways in which time may be felt as a propulsive, corrosive slide towards annihilation. With this in mind, the article reads Alexandre Lacroix’s L ’ Homme qui aimait trop travailler as a novel that illustrates the entanglements between

Abstract:

Petroleum, a 2004 novel by Swiss-Gabonese writer Bessora, takes place almost entirely on the Ocean Liberator, a ship extracting oil off the coast of Gabon. I argue that the Ocean Liberator operates as what Marc Augé calls a non-place, a place that cannot be defined in terms of history, identity, or relations. Non-places, frequently under neither national nor international supervision, facilitate the creation of a precarious international labor force. I furthermore underline the relation among the non-place workplace, environmental degradation, and the choice of detective fiction. Petroleum is

Abstract:

The Information Technology (IT) sector is witnessing a notable surge in the adoption of cutting-edge technologies such as the metaverse to address recruitment challenges and attract top talent. Originating from science fiction, the concept of the metaverse has transitioned into reality, driven by advancements in virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and other immersive technologies. Its initial applications in online gaming and virtual worlds have paved the way for immersive experiences across diverse sectors, encompassing entertainment, education, healthcare, retail, and real estate.

<em>It is Remarkable to note that Untouchability is one of the greatest evils our country has been facing from the time Immemorial. The Pathetic picture of the Untouchables who are deprived of gaining Knowledge, has no right to go to the temple, no liberty to listen to the Incantations of the Vedas or great Scriptures, deprived of the right of reading and studying the language Sanskrit, which is supposed to be the richest language of the world. So one of the causes of the degeneration of Sanskrit language is Untouchability and perhaps this is why many great personalities, have given a scathing

Abstract:

When Pierre Christin and Jean-Claude Mézières penned the inaugural story of the science fiction comic series Valérian et Laureline in 1967, they did not expect the series to continue for four decades nor to create the transnational, transmedial impact that it did, from France to the USA – and even Japan. Valérian et Laureline was launched in the second half of the 1960s, a tumultuous time in many Western nations, with major social changes such as Civil Rights legislation and women entering the workplace as never before, but also a time of significant technological advances, notably the space r

Abstract:

The mental health crisis in the United States spotlights the need for more scalable training for mental health workers. While present-day AI systems have sparked hope for addressing this problem, we must not be too quick to incorporate or solely focus on technological advancements. We must ask empirical questions about how to ethically collaborate with and integrate autonomous AI into the clinical workplace. For these Human-Autonomy Teams (HATs), poised to make the leap into the mental health domain, special consideration around the construct of trust is in order. A reflexive look toward the m

Abstract:

Traditional meetings involve extensive sitting, which negatively impacts the health of attendees. Understanding how technology can facilitate integrating physical activity into the workplace, such as in walking meetings, is vital to improving workplace wellbeing. To that end, we applied a mixed-method approach to explore requirements and opportunities for walking meetings. We conducted an online questionnaire and a series of interviews with early adopters of walking meetings and created design fictions based on their feedback. We evaluated the design fictions with a second questionnaire and ga

Abstract:

While there are many feasible reasons for employers to process employee health data, the protection of such data is a fundamental issue for ensuring employee rights to privacy in the workplace. The sharing of health data within workplaces can lead to various consequences, such as losing a sense of privacy, stigmatisation, job insecurity and social dumping. At the European level, the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR) and EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)–two interconnected instruments–offer the most enforceable protection of employee health

Abstract:

This article explores how television dramas function as a cultural forum on the workplace power dynamics of US tech startups. Focusing on the limited series, Super Pumped and WeCrashed, which are about Uber and WeWork, the authors analyze how relations of race, class, and gender/sexuality emerge in these narrativized techworlds via several “figures,” including white male founders/CEOs or “millennial messiahs,” “female fixers” that range from executives to silent service providers, and the “corporate board.” These figures are important because they circulate across fictional and non-fictional c

Abstract:

Focusing on the ‘fictions’ between the ethnographer and her informants, this article deals with the delicate chemistry of fieldwork through an account of three field studies. The first explores power struggles in a bank in Marseilles; the second looks at issues related to political and economic transition in Romania through as seen through the lens of a metalwork factory; the last analyses ‘modernisation’ in the public sector in Marseilles. These studies highlight some major questions raised in the field of reflexive anthropology, including the nature of the ethnographer/informant relationship

We investigated whether the emotional framing of climate change communication can influence workplace pro-environmental behavior. In three quasi-experimental studies, we examined whether emotional displays in climate change communication affected participants’ subsequent workplace pro-environmental behavior. In Studies 1 and 2, undergraduate and master’s students viewed a fictional news video about climate change, where the newsreader displayed one of five emotions: sadness, fear, anger, contentment, and hope. The dependent variable was recycling behavior following the viewing. In Study 3, off

Abstract:

This article investigates the ‘glocalization’ of the US TV popular drama series The West Wing, while focusing on one (in some ways) exceptional episode . Because politics is inherently linked to language, discourse and communication, I will take an approach from the perspective of critical discourse analysis (the discourse-historical approach), with a particular focus on elements of argumentation theory and rhetoric, and combine this with media studies. More specifically, I attempt to illustrate how a thorough understanding of the topoi operating within the complex dialogues and interactions h

Abstract:

The phrase affirmative action (AA) has been in use in Australia for two decades, mainly in the context of improving the profile of women in the workplace. Federal legislation was enacted in 1986 but the formalistic focus on the preparation of plans, numerosity and the lodgment of reports has deflected attention away from the elusive substance of AA. The procedural veil will be lifted to focus more closely on the nature of the substance, with particular regard to managerial positions. It will be argued that the construction of femininity and masculinity, through what are termed ‘the fictive fem
