May I serve you? Navigating the employee embeddedness challenges in Indian social enterprises through servant leadership
Authors: K.S. Nivedhitha , G Angelin Vilma 
Published: January 2025

PurposeWhile servant leadership is widely recognised as a key factor in driving employee performance and various psychological outcomes, there remains a notable gap in understanding how it influences employee embeddedness through fostering harmonious relationships, particularly within energy-centric social enterprises. This study seeks to address this gap by investigating how servant leaders’ behaviours can effectively cultivate harmonious relationships, ultimately leading to increased employee embeddedness within organisations. Additionally, this study introduces a novel aspect by examining how an individual psychological trait, specifically a propensity for risk-taking, may influence the indirect effect of servant leadership on employee embeddedness.Design/methodology/approachTo test this model, data from 309 respondents was collected through a three-wave survey design. The simple mediation analysis was performed using the PROCESS macro-Model 4, and the moderated mediation analysis was performed using the PROCESS macro-Model 8.FindingsThe findings indicate that harmonious passion serves as a significant mediator between servant leadership and employee embeddedness. Notably, this relationship is amplified among individuals with higher levels of the risk-taking trait.Originality/valueThe study addresses the research gaps in the interplay between individual traits and the psychological effectiveness of servant leadership in inducing harmonious passion, leading to socio-emotional outcomes such as employee embeddedness. Further, by addressing the issues related to employee retention in social enterprises, this research helps social entrepreneurs create a desirable societal impact without experiencing human resource hurdles. By doing so, this investigation significantly contributes to the research community, practitioners and society at large.
Understanding the role of gender diversity in ESG misconduct. The moderating effect of gender equality policies
Authors: García-Meca Emma , Martinez-Ferrero Jennifer 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
This paper aims to investigate whether gender-diverse boards and top management teams (TMTs) reduce undesirable environmental social governance (ESG) behavior and whether a critical mass of women in leadership is necessary to influence this outcome. In addition, the authors study whether differences in the levels of national commitment to gender-equality policies affect the effectiveness of gender-diverse boards and management in curbing ESG misconduct.

Design/methodology/approach
This study examines the role of women directors and women executives in ESG misconduct using a European sample of analysis of 2,994 firm-year observations from 2015 to 2020.

Findings
The authors find that gender diversity effectively prevents ESG misconduct only in countries with strong national policies supporting gender equality. Specifically, women directors and executives significantly reduce ESG misconduct in these countries, demonstrating the complementary role of gender diversity and national equality policies. In addition, female chief executive officers are more likely to curb negative ESG practices in firms operating within gender-equal corporate environments, noting that female chief executive officers are not effective in reducing irresponsible ESG behavior when they are not supported by a critical mass of women directors or executives.

Practical implications
This paper finds novel evidence that the influence of female representation on ESG misconduct is not linear but conditional on the level of female proportion; women in the minority (usually under 3) can scarcely influence group decisions because their specific female attributes are only evident when the visibility and legitimacy of the female group are high enough. Firms led by female chief executive officers seem to reduce ESG misconduct, especially when their chief suites are above a critical threshold. But queen bee female chief executive officers are not effective in reducing adverse ESG activity if their boards and TMTs are not gender diverse; the joint effect of women in different hierarchical positions contributes to decreasing ESG failures.

Social implications
These findings are useful for policymakers because they show that although there is growing social concern about business gender equality and increasing regulatory efforts through soft/hard gender quotas, stakeholders will not completely benefit from firm gender diversity without national support for gender equality.

Originality/value
This study contributes to the sustainable development literature by examining the direct effects of gender diversity at multiple levels of a firm’s hierarchy (chief suite, board, TMTs), as well as addressing the gap between firm gender diversity and national gender equality policies as mechanisms to reduce ESG misconduct. It also explores the queen bee phenomenon, noting that female leaders in non-diverse organizations often adapt their leadership style to align with masculine corporate cultures.

Design/methodology/approach
This commentary considers the literature regarding high-quality support as a Tier 1 approach within positive behaviour support (PBS) model in the UK and abroad. It also considers potential infrastructure that services could use to develop and sustain high-quality support.

Findings
This commentary highlights how the UK may be guided by the framework of school-wide PBS in the USA to inform the implementation of system-wide PBS in UK contexts.

Originality/value
This commentary explores how system-wide PBS can be applied.
Commentary on “using behavioural contracting to reduce behaviours that challenge in a school setting: Case studies” and an overview of token economies in school settings
Authors: Penney Heather Jane 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
The primary purpose of this paper is to provide commentary on “Using Behavioural Contracting to Reduce Behaviours that Challenge in a School Setting: Case Studies” (Hawkins et al. 2025; This issue). The secondary purpose is to provide an introduction and overview of token economies and point and level systems to practitioners and stakeholders.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper considers the use of token economies or point and level systems alongside behaviour contracts in school settings.

Findings
Behaviour contracts can be used successfully to determine how key components of token economies and point and level systems will be implemented. More research is needed on the use of behaviour contracts within token economies.

Originality/value
This review explores the components of token economies, including the selection of target behaviours, reinforcement pairing and the exchange process. It also highlights the flexibility of these systems to incorporate physical or symbolic tokens and reinforcer preferences. Indirect benefits, such as delaying reinforcement and fostering self-control, are discussed alongside practical implementation strategies. Advanced systems, like point and level systems, are examined for their ability to track progress over time, assist self-monitoring and fade interventions as learners progress towards greater independence.

Authors: McKittrick Rachel , Orellana Liliana , Manias Elizabeth , Hensher Martin , Hutchinson Alison M. 
Published: January 2025

AbstractObjectivesTo describe sociodemographic characteristics and comprehensive day‐to‐day care and support needs of older Victorians requiring government‐funded home‐based aged‐care, and to explore associations between vulnerability factors and complexity indicators in this population.MethodsA population‐based observational study was conducted using de‐identified, routinely collected aged‐care assessment data for Victorians approved for a Home Care Package (HCP) between January 2019 and June 2022.ResultsThe study population (n = 94,975 individuals), approved for one of four HCP levels (Levels 1 (5%), 2 (38%), 3 (34%) or 4 (24%)), was aged 82 years on average (SD 7.6), commonly born outside Australia (48%), with people of higher socio‐economic status more likely to be approved for a high‐level HCP. Advanced care and support needs such as for showering (53%) and dressing (43%) were common, with higher overall needs when cognitive and behavioural concerns such as short‐term memory loss (75%) or agitation (21%) were present. 79% reported at least one vulnerability factor such as being socially isolated, culturally and linguistically diverse, or Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and 49% reported at least one complexity indicator. The three most prevalent complexity indicators were significant cognitive changes (29%), self‐neglect (17%) and emotional/mental health issues (11%), which were generally positively associated with vulnerability factors.ConclusionsThis population‐based study provides evidence of the diverse sociodemographics, and often advanced day‐to‐day mobility, functional, physical, cognitive, behavioural, psychological and psychosocial care and support needs of people requiring home‐based aged‐care. It also highlights the multifaceted complexities within this population. Results could inform home care service‐delivery models and workforce skill‐mix requirements to efficiently and safely meet these needs.
“The Return of my Grandfather Napoleon”: Ancestor worship, impiety, and collective possession in North Honduras
Authors: Perdomo Marcela 
Published: January 2025

AbstractThis paper analyzes Dolores's case of collective spirit possession as a paroxysmic form of possession idiom, serving as a powerful and creative internal mechanism that both safeguards and revitalizes the core structure of ancestor worship. Drawing on my ethnographic research in North Honduras since 2009, my study reveals that rather than leading to the erosion of possession rituals, entropic forces, such as resistance, modernity, and impiety serve as vital resources, reinforcing the foundations of ancestor worship. This paper explores possession idioms and striking events, such as contagion, abduction, dramatization, illness, and death to highlight the resilience of a possession‐based religion as a self‐sustaining total social system rooted in “tradition,” yet shaped by a dynamic interplay of historical, cultural, and personal experiences. While traditional interpretations of spirit possession have viewed possession cults as forms of protest against hegemonic power—“a weapon of the weak” used to gain respect and process trauma—I suggest that spirit possession is multifaceted, ambiguous and underdetermined, operating within a social theater where critique, social irony, impiety, historical consciousness, and the carnivalesque intersect.
The dawn of division: For an anthropological theory of consciousness through contemplative ethnography
Authors: Divino Federico 
Published: January 2025

AbstractThe article delves into the need for an anthropological exploration of consciousness in the modern context. While anthropology's core focus has always been the study of the human subject, this study argues that consciousness has emerged as a fundamental aspect that underpins all human phenomena. The historical trajectory of anthropology, from its positivist leanings to contemporary shifts like the phenomenological and ontological turns, is examined to highlight the evolving perspective on subjectivity and alterity. The author's ethnographic studies, particularly within the realm of contemplative practices like traditional Buddhist meditation and mindfulness, reveal a crucial connection between consciousness and anthropological inquiry, challenging the inherent bias and dualistic thinking within anthropology, particularly concerning the dichotomy of self and other, evident even in studies of meditation. The proposal of “mindful ethnography” is introduced as a means to transcend this dualism, drawing inspiration from Buddhist philosophy. The study presents consciousness as a central concern for anthropology, calling for a reevaluation of traditional frameworks and the adoption of a more mindful and non‐dualistic approach to anthropological research. Through a thorough investigation of consciousness, the article seeks to provide a nuanced understanding of human experience and reshape the trajectory of anthropological inquiry in a modern context.

ABSTRACTAnnular pancreas is a rare congenital anatomical anomaly, in which the pancreatic parenchyma surrounds the descending duodenum. Generally, annular pancreas is diagnosed on the basis of symptoms associated with complications of peptic ulcer, pancreatitis, cholelithiasis, and rarely, malignant tumors. Herein, we report an 84‐year‐old man for whom, during hospitalization for a urinary tract infection, pancreatic cystic lesions and an annular pancreas were noted incidentally on computed tomography. These findings led to a diagnosis of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms on further examination. He safely underwent robot‐assisted pylorus‐preserving pancreatoduodenectomy, with an operative time of 478 min and blood loss of 37 g. He was discharged on postoperative day 8 without postoperative complications. In conclusion, it is important to note that, in this case, intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms were detected before they became malignant, and minimally invasive surgery was performed safely despite the anatomical anomaly of an annular pancreas.
Use of drones in Indo‐Pak cross border terrorism: Challenges, regulations and evolving responses
Authors: Kumar Ankit , Vishwanathan Arun 
Published: January 2025

AbstractThe proliferation of drones to states and non‐state actors has created newer challenges for national security & border management. Globally, drones are being used by security forces as force multipliers in military operations, while non‐state actors are employing drones for carrying out terror strikes, smuggling arms, narcotics, and by citizen journalists and other groups for disseminating information on government crackdown on public protests. The paper traces the increasing usage of drones in India, especially since 2019, while also analyzing the multifarious challenges faced by Indian security forces and law enforcement agencies from the use of drones by non‐state actors. It analyses the rules and regulations that have been put in place in India to manage the spread of UAS/drones in the country while not stifling the domestic manufacturing. Finally, the paper explores the possible systems that have been explored by India and other countries to counter UAS/drones and the challenges posed in effectively countering drones in border regions.

ABSTRACTObjectivesThe ideal model of care for individuals with Differences of Sex Development (DSD) continues to evolve, with multiple models proposed. This study aimed to explore current care models for individuals with DSD in Australia and New Zealand (NZ) and to identify clinician perceptions of gaps and barriers in current practice.MethodsCross‐sectional anonymous online questionnaire, conducted via Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) software. Clinicians involved in the diagnosis and management of individuals with DSD in Australia and NZ were contacted through multimodal recruitment approaches. Themes included demographics of respondents, preferred terminology, composition of the DSD multidisciplinary team (MDT) and availability of a database.ResultsSeventy‐nine eligible participants from centers in all states and territories of Australia and NZ commenced the survey with 63 complete responses. Almost One‐third (31%) of participants are not currently part of a DSD MDT meeting at their center. While three quarters (76%) of respondents identified changes to DSD care over the past 5 years, three quarters (75%) also identified barriers to current care provision. Only 20% of respondents reported psychology being a current part of their MDT and 70% identified psychology as a desired but missing part of their team.ConclusionsResponses to the survey identify gaps and barriers to DSD care across Australia and NZ, particularly a lack of psychosocial supports. Current models fall short of international recommendations and services need to explore the reasons for these gaps further.
A Pilot Study of the Usefulness of a Strength‐Based, Systemic and Trauma‐Informed Training Programme for Early Help Practitioners
Authors: van Roosmalen Marc , Parrish Molly , Panton Eve 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTThere is limited evidence for strength‐based early help (EH) frameworks within the UK, despite multiple government funded reviews highlighting the need for them. Van Roosmalen developed a practice framework grounded in systemic, trauma‐informed and resilience principles, which comprises of three dimensions: resilient families, resilient practitioners and resilient multiagency systems. Nineteen EH practitioners were interviewed in focus groups about their perception of how the training programme affected their practice with families. Thematic analysis of focus group transcriptions established that it produced improvements in all three dimensions. Overarching themes highlighted a shift in understanding the relational and interactional nature of difficulties within families. The participants identified the training to have a positive effect on their resilience and ability to manage the service pressures when working with families with complex needs. Finally, participants reported the need for the wider professional network to be familiar with the practice framework for an effective and resilient system, the third dimension of the model. This study provides new evidence to support a strengths‐based model of EH training and practice.
The Internationalization of Deterrence: The Case Study of Iran's Biaxial Deterrence in the Middle East
Authors: Baizidi Rahim 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTThe concept of deterrence is central to both international relations and strategic studies, as it endeavors to establish peace through the “threat to reciprocal retaliation.” The Cold War era as the golden age of nuclear deterrence revealed that even the most powerful states are enthusiastic to transfer part of their strategic and military capabilities, such as nuclear weapons, to other states to countering potential threats. By presenting the concept of “internationalization of deterrence,” this article addresses the implementation of Iran's biaxial deterrence in the Middle East. Internationalizing deterrence entails the transfer of military and security capabilities from a deterrent power to allied and cooperative nations, thereby enhancing both the effectiveness and credibility of deterrence measures. The internationalization of deterrence encompasses a variety of strategies, including nuclear sharing, the creation of military bases in foreign countries, the backing of allied groups, and the overseas deployment of missiles. Biaxial deterrence is also an element of Iran's internationalized deterrence strategy, focusing on two interconnected dimensions: aligned groups—protégés—and advancing of their conventional weapons capabilities in the Middle East. Through internationalization of its conventional deterrence, Iran has sought to enhance its deterrent capabilities and credibility while minimizing costs and maximizing effectiveness.
Transcending Boundaries: Reimagining the Possibilities of Scholarship
Authors: Prasad Ajnesh 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTIn this editorial, I introduce Transcending Boundaries—the newest section of Gender, Work & Organization. Transcending Boundaries aims to reimagine the possibilities of scholarship. It is intended to be experimental, subversive, and provocative—all the while, unapologetically presenting ideas that dislocate the hegemonic narratives, which currently structure knowledge in management and organization studies. This section complements the rich traditions of epistemological plurality that is palpable in Gender, Work ‐ Organization’s three‐decade publication history. It aims to resist conformity, embrace reflexivity, and call for courage in scholarship. I conclude the editorial by providing examples of the types of work—in terms of format, genre, and creativity—that may be suitable for Transcending Boundaries and discussing governance matters and procedural issues related to the section.
Higher Education Leadership Agency in Mainstreaming Gender Equality: Insights From Universities in Kazakhstan
Authors: Kataeva Zumrad , Durrani Naureen , Rakhimzhanova Aray , Shakirova Svetlana 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTThis qualitative study explores the perspectives of senior leadership on gender equality within higher education institutions (HEIs) in Kazakhstan, addressing a gap in the literature on the agency of senior leaders in mainstreaming gender equality in post‐Soviet contexts. Kazakhstan is a significant case due to its high ranking on gender indicators in Central Asia and its unique blend of modernization and traditional gender discourses. We interviewed 13 leaders across 10 universities to analyze how they perceive the relationship between gender and education and their potential role in advancing gender equality. Utilizing Butler's theory of performativity, our analysis reveals that senior leaders disregard structural or institutional gender‐related concerns. They tend to uphold and embody traditional gender norms and attribute existing gender inequalities to cultural norms which limit their agency. While leaders acknowledge the role of higher education in promoting gender equality, they perceive gender issues as resistant to change, which creates obstacles to effective gender mainstreaming. The findings provide insights into reimagining gender mainstreaming strategies in HEIs in post‐Soviet contexts and beyond.
