“…In the contexts of meanings of work, the dialogical self framework also highlighted the emergence and negotiations of tensions from a process-oriented, constitutive lens (Putnam et al, in press) as it focused on the ongoing conversation “between” and “among” multiple and often contradictory voices, rather than insights stored “within” a single party (see dialogic communication ethics, Arnett, Arneson, & Bell, 2006; Xu, 2013). Tensions were constituted and negotiated as different voices were invoked in dialogical constructions of work.…”

This study explicated Post80s workers' communicative constructions of work meanings guided by the dialogical self theory. Analyzing 33 in-depth interviews, we found Post80s workers constructed their work meanings regarding choice, development, and impact as they invoked individual and collective voices amid the discursive and material discontinuities and continuities of the emerging Chinese socio-economic landscape. Foregrounding meanings of work as dialogical co-constructions of different voices, the study unpacked the complex interplays of self-other, individualcollective processes, and past-present-future work values and experiences in the communicative constitutions of the Chinese paradigm shift of work. Theoretical contributions to meanings of work as tensional, dialogical constructions answer calls to more nuanced scholarly engagement with individual-organization-society problematics and generational cohorts locally and globally in organizational communication research.

“…The code of equity and its programs shape a peculiar mediation of “dialogue across difference” (Cronin, , p. 72) through the construction of a “discursive space of translations” (Delanty, , p. 43). In this perspective, language mediation promotes dialogue as a specific way of communicating and producing narratives (e.g., Anderson & Cissna, ; Arnett, Arneson, & Bell, ; Black, ; Bohm, ; Carbaugh, ; Craig, , ; Gergen, McNamee, & Barrett, ; Krauss & Morsella, ; Littlejohn & Domenici, ; Pearce & Pearce, ).…”

Language mediation is employed as a possible solution for problems of migrants' inclusion in institutional services, within multilingual and multicultural societies. Interpreting Studies has highlighted that language mediation is coordination of social interactions and social construction of narratives. This paper explains language mediation using Luhmann's theory of communication systems, in particular the concepts of self‐reference, reflexivity, function, structure, and structural coupling. Language mediation is observed as a self‐referential communication system fulfilling the function of promoting participation and new narratives through reflexive coordination. In particular, the concept of structural coupling explains how language mediation can enhance change within other communication systems, promoting dialogue across difference. Language mediation, however, can also assume a hierarchical structure, which creates marginalization and ethnocentrism.

“…There is related literature on civility outside of the classroom, in life and in work, and how a crisis of incivility has emerged in our world (Arnett & Arneson, 1999; Ayim, 1997; Forni, 2002; Hall, 2013; Harden Fritz, 2012). Carter (1998) argues that an appreciation of civility will improve public life, and Bybee (2016) suggests that civil discourse can be moral and robust without sacrificing truth or freedom.…”

To connect course material to executive MBA student workplace experiences and current events more clearly, we created an online space for students to bring up relevant workplace experiences or to post links to articles on domestic and international developments relevant to the week’s course topics and materials. The activity has brought forth significant student interactions online and in the classroom and paves the way for robust classroom discussion as well. Although we created this activity for executive MBA students, we believe it can also be used in other business courses, both graduate and undergraduate. With the experiences that executive MBA students bring, however, the interactions become especially helpful for modeling civility around difficult and divisive issues in business and society.
