Racial Biases in the Publication Process: Exploring Expressions and Solutions
Racial inequality and systemic racism are focal points of attention in many countries around the world. In the United States, for instance, these issues have come into sharp focus through responses to police violence against Black Americans and growing concerns with hate crimes against Asian Americans amidst racial rhetoric sparked by the COVID-19 pandemic. Racial biases are far from new, however.
The Paradox of Family Structure and Plans after Work: Why Single Childless Employees May Be the Least Absorbed at Work
We thank our editor Carol Kulik for her gracious and invaluable guidance on this manuscript. Our three anonymous reviewers also contributed thoughtful and useful feedback. We thank Nora Madjar, Racheli Perl, Ashleigh Rosette, and Nancy Rothbard for their helpful comments offered in the early stages of this project, and we thank Kristopher Preacher for directing us to multilevel structural equation modeling analysis.
Five Ways to Hold the Right Kind of Attention
No matter how talented or accomplished you are, you cannot always count on attracting and retaining the attention of others. Too many options compete for everyone’s attention, and they multiply with each passing day. It will be more and more challenging to rise above the noise and hold onto the attention of those who matter to you. Attention provides leverage. The more people we can attract and motivate to join us on a challenging quest or initiative, the more impact we are likely to achieve.
Why Black Employees Hesitate to Open Up About Themselves

Being one’s true self, disclosing elements of one’s personal life, and forming social connections are easier within one’s own group than they are across a demographic boundary.

If Your Boss Has a Lot of Integrity, You May Be More Likely to Compromise Yours
The idea that leaders should follow a set of sound principles and support policies that reflect their own values is a widely held standard, and for good reason. But there is a downside to integrity. In our research, we have found that when leaders behave with high integrity, their followers may compromise their own. They create a façade of conformity, suppressing their own values and views and pretending to share the organization’s values in order to survive and succeed at work.
Married with children: How family role identification shapes leadership behaviors at work
In this paper, we explore the question of how an employee's family role identification, as driven by family structure (marital and parental status combined), affects their leadership behaviors at work. Using survey data from working professionals and executives pursuing a Master of Business Administration degree, we found that, as expected, those respondents who were both married and had children reported higher levels of family role identification relative to other respondents.
