“…Hence, it is suggested that microentrepreneurs would benefit from tailored training concerning social sustainability communication. This study contributes to discussions on sustainable development at the business level (Bolsø et al, 2018;Halme & Laurila, 2009). It is concluded that an understanding of business strategy and practices and innovative leadership approaches-ones that do things differently-concerning the sustainable future are necessary.…”

“…This study adds to the sustainable HRM literature by demonstrating how projects and individuals contributing to them may drive organizational change for sustainability. Hence, the study addresses Bolsø et al’s (2018) determination that more research evidence for positive actions towards sustainable development is needed. It was found that the personal characteristics of the project’s key leaders—such as internal motivation to pursue challenging goals, open communication, trust-based relationships and collaboration with the organization’s stakeholders in environmental strategy—enabled the city to become more environmentally sustainable and, consequently, to contribute to SDG 11.…”

“…According to Halme and Laurila (2009), who see sustainable development from the viewpoint of businesses, such development can be integrated into business strategies and practices, and furthermore, innovations concerning sustainable development can be at the core of business. In other words, sustainability can be a source of business, and there is a need to do things differently to address failures in sustainable development (Bolsø et al, 2018).…”

One of the most significant expectations faced by managers today is to succeed in integrating sustainability into an organization's functions (Ajmal et al., 2018). The goal of this special issue is to raise interest into topics related to social sustainability in the functions of leadership and human resource management (HRM). More specifically, knowledge and understanding are produced of the social and human dimensions of organizational life in different organizational and socio-cultural settings. The theme of this special issue is still rather new and dispersed in both management research and management practice. Therefore, we present several significant perspectives that we believe are of relevance to learning more about social sustainability, leadership and HRM. The case studies in this issue provide in-depth, rich and multiple information about various real-life events and phenomena in the context of the theme.

“…These theories equate gender stereotypes of women's 'innate nurturing' with a special connection to nature (Moore, 2016). Essentialist ecofeminist theory reinforces gender stereotypes of women and care (Bolsø et al, 2018). These arguments led to a call for research within ecofeminism that extends beyond gender stereotypes (Phillips, 2015(Phillips, , 2019Young, 2018).…”

Greening work–life balance: Connecting work, caring and the environment

The emerging field of green work-life balance (growing from the work-life balance and sustainability fields) largely centres its analysis around the organisational benefits of green work-life balance policies. Consequently, it often focuses on the way in which individual behaviours can reduce the environmental footprint of the organisation. This paper argues that the gendered assumptions underpinning the research mean that the nascent field of green work-life balance has failed to theorise the way in which personal, community, environmental and organisational needs interconnect. Specifically, it has failed to address the way in which 'care'-for people and the environment-lacks recognition because of gender norms of carework. This paper proposes a theoretical framework of green work-life balance that centres both environmental and people care. This theoretical framework can be used to inform both research and practice, including the way in which unions bargain and campaign for green clauses and just transition.

“…At worst, such writings can be dangerous, strengthening hegemonic positions. Certainly, organizational scholars increasingly engage with questions of inequality, social problems, and sustainability reflected in numerous conferences, special issues, and edited volumes (e.g., Amis, Mair, & Munir, 2019; Amis, Munir, Lawrence, Hirsch, & McGahan, 2018; Bolsø, Philips & Sabelis, 2018; Parker, Cheney, Fournier & Land, 2014; Wittneben, Okereke, Banerjee, & Levy, 2012; Zanoni, Contu, Healy, & Mir, 2017). This research insightfully underscores the myriad ways in which actors resist, individually or collectively, even when they are most vulnerable (Courpasson & Marti, 2019; Martí & Fernández, 2013).…”

In this study, we surface the problems of representation mainstream organizational theory encounters in documenting and telling accounts of subaltern actors and social transformation. We explore how writing practices that draw on feminist postcolonial literary traditions can transform organizational studies of social change. Drawing on three literary texts-Mahasweta Devi's Draupadi, Urmila Pawar's The Weave of My Life, and Arundhati Roy's Ministry of Utmost Happiness-we reflect on how we may represent the lives of others. Inspired by these three writers, we suggest solidaristic transgression, unsettled habitation, and counter-discursive memory work as three modes of engagement that challenge us as academics writing for change.
