“…In fact, despite its theoretical and practical importance, research on stigmatization is scant in organizational and work settings in general (Baur, Hall, Daniels, Buckley, & Anderson, ; Paetzold et al, ). Moreover, the extant literature is deficient in terms of providing an overarching framework for recognizing and grouping different types of potentially stigmatizing attributes in a theoretically and practically useful manner to promote a deeper understanding of the antecedents and consequences of stigmatization in organizational settings.…”

A typology of stigma within organizations: Access and treatment effects

et al. 2018

Stigmatization is a process by which certain individuals are devalued and alienated from specific types of social interactions, because they are perceived to possess a negatively valenced characteristic (e.g., age, gender, and medical condition). Due to its diverse and context-driven nature, stigmatization potentially affects a large percentage of the population. Consequently, many individuals are likely victimized by stigmatization processes in a particular situation and subsequently may be deprived of the organizational opportunities available to nonstigmatized individuals. The purpose of this paper is to review and organize the literature by drawing on a suggested typology of stigmas found in organizations. We ground this novel typology in both the stigmatization and management literatures, incorporating the dimensions of controllability and visibility of stigmatizing attributes as well as whether or not the attribute is protected under federal law. Because all stigmatizing characteristics are not equally deleterious, we present 8 separate groups of stigmas and the differential effects that each have on stigmatized individuals' opportunities within organizations (i.e., access and treatment discrimination). Further, we outline mechanisms (i.e., imputed characteristics) that underlie the differential treatment afforded those who are stigmatized. We then provide a research roadmap to better understand the role stigmas play in organizations moving forward.

“…Research documents, however, that individuals with a history of incarceration have a 15% to 30% lower chance of being hired than those without criminal records (Lutman, Lynch, & Monk-Turner, 2015) with the majority of those released from incarceration likely to remain unemployed or underemployed 5 years after their release (Baur, Hall, Daniels, Buckley, & Anderson, 2018). There are a number of barriers to employer hiring and retention of formerly incarcerated persons.…”

Employers and the Reintegration of Formerly Incarcerated Persons

In this initial submission, I argue for the importance of management researchers pursuing scholarly inquiry and research on the topic of employer reintegration of the formerly incarcerated. Around the world, there is growing political and social interest in criminal justice reform and rising expectations for businesses to respond to these changes. While criminologists have documented significant barriers contributing to employer resistance to hiring the formerly incarcerated, far less attention has been paid to employer hiring and retention of formerly incarcerated individuals. I suggest some possibilities for how understanding the dynamics and implications of employer hiring and retention of formerly incarcerated individuals can generate new conceptual and empirical insights of academic and practical relevance.

“…J. E. Baur, A. V. Hall, S. R. Daniels, M. R. Buckley and H. J. Anderson [11] pay attention to a truly pressing social issue: the resocialization of the so-called ex-offenders. These individuals convicted for their crimes have served their sentences and are trying to undergo a spontaneous social rehabilitation.…”

Based on the analysis of the theory of symbolic interactionism and publications of modern scientists, representing various scientific directions of social and humanitarian knowledge, the article actualizes the point of view according to which the processes of social stigmatization are desocializing. The purpose of the article is to justify the ambivalence of the forms of a social identity process, the essence of which is most clearly manifested in the discrepancy between real and virtual identity. A person is in a situation of direct or indirect contradiction between his inner experience of his belonging to the corresponding social group, on the one hand, and the evaluation of his place and role made by other participants of social interactions, on the other. Using comparative methodology, the authors define the main criteria for comprehending and evaluating stigmatization processes. The article asserts the idea that symbolic interactionism, in fact, is a practical sociological tool that does not pretend to identify general tendencies and patterns.
