“…Research has demonstrated not only the linkages between precariousness, migration and legal status, but also how the "unfreedom" of temporary migrant workers is actively produced by the state both as a dimension of the social construction of exclusionary citizenship and as a strategy of capital accumulation (Sharma 2006). While there are arguments for the plethora of ethical challenges that this form of mobility create, in the United States, temporary labor migration has tended to be viewed as an exclusively economic and thus ethically neutral phenomenon (Ciupijus 2010). Few studies have compared the patterns of migration to Canada and the United States.…”

Humanism Under Construction: the Case of Mexican Circular Migration

2019

In today's world, given the relative importance that companies are giving to corporate social responsibility, sustainability, human rights, and ethics, it is logical to assume that the humanistic trend is gaining support over the economistic, especially in the most developed countries. The paper serves both to introduce the topic of circular migration and to suggest that humanistic management principles are not applied to circular migration programs. First, we contrast humanism with economism as fundamental approaches to business goal setting. Then, we discuss in more depth the concept of circular migration and explain the mechanisms under which this migration happens in the US and Canada. Next, by relying on Melé's (Humanistic Management Journal 1: 33-55, 2016) propositions, we elaborate on the case of the Mexican workers who enroll in these temporary job programs, with attention to the programs' pitfalls and outcomes. Finally, we conclude with reflections on further research in humanistic management as a tool for improving temporary migration movements.

“…Migrant workers in China have their own social and cultural backgrounds. Nevertheless, just as with migrant workers everywhere, they have inferior statuses both inside and outside the workplace (Syed, 2008;Ciupijus, 2010). Future studies are in order for exploring whether the theoretical model can be supported in other contexts.…”

By integrating an existential approach to burnout, identity theory, and the job demandresource (JD-R) model, this paper compares the sense-making processes of migrant workers who embrace both rural and urban identities (i.e., dual-identity holders) with those who suppress either identity (i.e., non-dual-identity holders). In particular, we have examined these dual-identity holders' interpretations of the workplace regarding internal corporate social responsibilities (CSR) efforts and job complexity and the subsequent emotional exhaustion. A sample of 1,985 migrant workers in China reveals that dual-identity holders may have decreased emotional exhaustion because of higher perceptions of internal CSR efforts, and increased emotional exhaustion because of higher perceptions of job complexity. Furthermore, it is found that human resource management (HRM) strength (i.e., employees' shared perceptions of HR practices) weakens those two relationships. These findings have important implications for managing migrant workers and ensuring their well-beings.

“…Research into micro‐level aspects has focused on the migrant and the motivations to migrate: their family issues (Battistella & Conaco, ), push and pull factors (Zimmermann, ) as well as their experiences in the host country (e.g. Ciupijus, ; Pearson et al., ; Raghuram, ; Vertovec, ). The meso‐level of organizations remains under‐researched (e.g.…”

Changing labour migration politics in Germany: an organizational perspective

Migration research has mainly focused on micro and macro level actors. Less research has focused on the meso‐level of organizations as actors influencing migration related processes. However, since modern societies are organizational societies and organizations are omnipresent in all spheres of daily life, their importance for migration issues should not be underestimated. Addressing this gap within migration research, the purpose of the following article is to apply a perspective of organization sociology to changes in migration politics. Referring to the German case with recent fundamental changes in migration politics, this article traces which roles organizations played in that process. It is assumed that they do institutional work (Lawrence & Suddaby, ), which means that they disrupt and change existing (migration related) institutions and politics. First, it gives insights into how existing institutions and thought patterns have been disrupted and reconstructed by (economic) organizations. Several strategies are observable. These include creating coalitions, advocacy, and social persuasion by introducing narratives which are alarming, morally compelling and convincing.
