“…The critical paradigm seeks to understand social phenomena by trying to unmask social inequalities, injustice and exploitation, challenging these through the empowerment of the disenfranchised. Research in this tradition emphasizes power inequalities, unequal chances, discrimination and structural differences among different social groups regarding exclusion from the labour market, (under)employment, or restriction of upward career mobility (Bleijenbergh et al, 2018; Zanoni et al, 2010; Romani et al, 2020b). Critical approaches uncover the allegedly neutral nature of cultural differences and highlight the inequalities and possible exploitative relationships between societies, organizations and social actors (Primecz et al, 2016), consequently denaturalization might lead to scientific breakthroughs (Romani et al, 2020a).…”

This paper explores the potential of conducting multiparadigm research within and beyond cross-cultural management, using narratives to examine how organizations shape migrant integration experiences and trajectories. It highlights the strengths of paradigmatic multiplicity in research with examples of three illustrative studies respectively using functionalist, interpretive and critical perspectives, while also considering the boundaries of these individual approaches. The paper proceeds to explore the potential of adopting a multiparadigm approach within a research strategy that places narratives at the centre of enquiry. It identifies the scope and focus of future research for a socially and politically important area of enquiry; it evaluates the application of diverse paradigm-driven methodological perspectives including the challenges involved in using them alone and in combination; and it develops a transferable framework to guide research in cross-cultural management, organization and migration studies that helps to assure procedural and conceptual rigour, and to generate practicable insights that facilitate successful integration outcomes.

“…CRT developed along with other critical approaches paradigmatically driven to confront objectivism and realism and support methodological difference (Bleijenbergh et al ., 2018). CRT specifically is characterized as crossing different paradigms and eschewing the simplistic distinctions often characterized by distinguishing just between qualitative and quantitative approaches (Bleijenbergh et al ., 2018). It is specifically rooted in emancipatory theorizing (Cornelissen et al ., 2021) and understanding racialized experience as a complex phenomenon (Knight, 2016).…”

PurposeThis paper explores intergenerational perceptions of kindness in the context of Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement and the COVID-19 global pandemic. The purpose of this exploratory study is to investigate perceptions of kindness in the context of traumatic events and its potential value in authentic allyship in organizational environments.Design/methodology/approachAuthors interviewed 65 individuals (31 self-identifying as non-racialized and 34 self-identifying as Black, Indigenous and People of Colour aka BIPOC). Participants included Generation Z (Gen Z; born between 1997–2012/5) and Generation Y (Gen Y; also referred to as Millennials, born between 1981 and 1994/6) across North American, Europe and Africa. Millennials currently represent the largest generation in the workplace and are taking on leadership roles, whereas Gen Z are emerging entrants into the workplace and new organizational actors.FindingsThe paper offers insights into how to talk about BLM in organizations, how to engage in authentic vs performative allyship and how to support BIPOC in the workplace. The study also reveals the durability of systemic racism in generations that may be otherwise considered more enlightened and progressive.Research limitations/implicationsThe authors expand on kindness literature and contribute theoretically and methodologically to critical race theory and intertextual analysis in race scholarship.Practical implicationsThe study contributes to the understanding of how pro-social behaviours like kindness (with intention) can contribute to a more inclusive discourse on racism and authentic allyship.Originality/valueAuthors reveal the potential for kindness as a pro-social behaviour in organizational environments to inform authentic allyship praxis.

“…The initial call to this special issue invited submissions that embrace age and ageing at the intersection of the organization beyond statistical and similar ‘what’ or ‘how many’ types of methodological approaches. We specifically asked authors to investigate, through a critically diverse qualitative approach (Bleijenbergh et al , 2018), the meanings, contexts and future of age and ageing by moving away from a deterministic number for ‘old age’ while moving toward innovative discursive understandings of the diverse older worker. We did acknowledge the United Nations (2017) statement that the global population is ageing at disproportionate rates across what they categorized as developing and developed countries.…”
