“…Similarly, templates informed by American ideas of performance and meritocracy ignore the Indian sociocultural context because there are vast intergenerational, intercultural and socio-economic differences in life journeys, expectations and interpretation of oneself within a job role in India. Simultaneously, context sensitivity, conflict avoidance, obsequiousness and the yearning for nurturant leaders form the sum and substance of Indian managerial repertoires (Correa, 2020; Panda & Gupta, 2022).…”

This critical reflective paper draws upon my reading, studying and teaching employment relations (ER) and human resource management (HRM) over the years, from a sociological perspective. I make a compelling case for ER as a research activity, an organisational habit and a way of reflexive thinking. There is a false perception that ER is outdated. Indifferent to fads, ER endeavours to see clearly and speak the truth fearlessly and excavate the challenges and possibilities of the socio-economic exchange within any employment relationship. ER’s real strength is its granular holistic, multi-layered understanding of the totality of the wage-effort bargain. It has always been interdisciplinary because it draws from a vast canvas of sociology, economics, political economy and even psychology. Tracing its trajectory, I map the context in which ER evolved from Fordism to Post-Fordism, how HRM tried to take its place, and why it cannot do what ER does. It is only with this critical sceptical inquisitive spirit of ER that an effective emotionally intelligent transparent HR-lifecycle with a well-thought-out employee voice mechanism can craft better workplaces. ER in India speak for gig workers and other casualised employment and intervenes urgently on their behalf by bringing their concerns to academic discussion and advocating change. In conjunction with critical management studies, the sociology of work and ER in India must go to the nub of inequality. It must reach out to broader constituencies to mitigate workplace inequalities in different situational and longitudinal work contexts.

“…Although the authors made this observation in the context of Euro–American theory development, the same is true for organizational theorizing in India. Indian organizational research often draws upon Euro–American sociological studies but rarely upon contemporary or classical sociological studies conducted by Indian scholars (Ojha and Venkateswaran, 2022; Pandey et al , 2022). There is also a general lack of engagement with yesteryear Indian organizational scholars.…”

Purpose Organization studies in India has largely remained insular to the writings of Indian scholars in parent disciplines such as sociology. The lack of engagement with Indian sociological works has promoted excessive dependence on Euro–American theory. It has further hindered the development of indigenous theories. This paper aims to argue that engagement with the writings of classical and contemporary Indian sociologists can resolve this issue. Design/methodology/approach The paper delineates the contribution of Indian sociologists to organizational or sociological institutionalism. It focuses specifically on the contribution of these scholars concerning two subtopics: conceptualization of institutions and fields, and the dynamics of institutional change. Findings The paper draws upon the work of Indian sociologists to develop a concept of ecological field. It further delves into the dynamic interplay between ideas and institutional change. More precisely, it draws attention to the role of actors and mechanisms that produce ideas. Originality/value Future studies can leverage the contribution of Indian scholars to explicate, elaborate and develop creative theories of organizational institutionalism. Such cumulative efforts can help in building an Indian tradition of organizational institutionalism.

“…Indian Psychology (characterized by a focus on inclusive spiritual growth perspective on human existence, drawing from philosophy and Eastern spirituality) has also contributed to the PP movement by conceptualizing meta-theoretical frameworks to further its goals. Professor Jadunath Sinha (1933) was one of the pioneers to contribute to the work on Indian Psychology with a contribution to PP, and this was further developed by various scholars (see, e.g., Bhawuk, 2011; Mulla & Krishnan, 2010; Pandey & Gupta, 2008; Pandey et al, 2022; Paranjpe, 1984, 1998; Rao et al, 2008; Salagame, 2014; Sinha, 2014).…”
