Lived experiences of exclusion in the workplace : psychological & behavioural effects
\"Inclusion and exclusion are two polarised feelings and experiences that touch us deeply. All aspects of human psychology and social, economic, and political life are imbued with experiences of inclusion and exclusion. The positive impact of inclusion on individuals, teams, organisations, and societies, and multilevel policy interventions are now widely recognised. There is an exponential increase in organisational level interventions to foster inclusion, particularly in global organisations. However, what we know about how exclusion operates and manifests in teams, organisations, and societies remains disparate and siloed across disciplinary boundaries. This volume transcends disciplinary silos and offers a rigorous and transdisciplinary exposition of exclusion in generic and local guises. The book draws on self-reported insights with key informants to provide examples of lived experiences of exclusion. Throughout the book, the authors are committed to ending exclusion and discrimination. This commitment also makes this book an exciting read, full of suggestions for change, and alternative means for speaking truth to power and standing up against exclusion. The book straddles different analyses across micro-, meso-, and macro-levels and locates individual experiences of exclusion and inclusion in its nested context. This approach makes the book an excellent read for scholars who study unique settings and those who explore generic aspects of exclusion. Notably, the three authors of this volume are engaged scholars from different disciplinary backgrounds, and explore exclusion as a multifaceted and complex problem that could be addressed through multilevel organisational interventions and individual acts. If you are a scholar or a practitioner in equality, diversity, and inclusion, the book will offer you inspiration, insights, and new perspectives.\"--Foreword, page xv.

Values-Driven Entrepreneurship and Societal Impact
Sub-Saharan Africa is challenged and blessed with a dynamic mix of formal and informal sectors, laced with effective and ineffective layers of entrepreneurial behaviour and action. Being entrepreneurial is not necessarily about creating entirely new business models, but about understanding context, social needs, environment, supply efficiency and security, the socio-economic layout, knowing the pain points for a society, community and for individuals, and seeking to relieve some or all of that pain by stepping into the available gaps or opportunities. _x000D__x000D_This book offers numerous ideas and perspectives on how to close these gaps, successfully navigate these challenges and implement practical, innovative solutions to constructively serve societies through the many obvious (and less obvious opportunities) on the continent._x000D__x000D_Drawing on the insights of numerous global academic leaders, entrepreneurial business founders and owners, as well as leaders of NGOs and other civil society organisations, Values-Driven Entrepreneurship and Societal Impact will broaden your understanding of the key challenges and opportunities around entrepreneurship in Africa.

Understanding Ethnic Privilege and Power at Work, Organizations and Management
This special issue explores ethnic privileges in the context of work, organization and management from varied methodological and theoretical traditions, and across different international contexts and disparate fields. They all have strong theoretical and practical implications, developing therefore new perspectives and insights into understanding power privileges held by the ethnic majority in the management of people in organizations. We hope that readers will enjoy this special issue. While we attempted to tackle some important issues regarding ethnic privilege at work, future research can look more in depth into questions like: What are the remaining key issues that pertain to ethnic privileges (i.e. whiteness) in studies of work, organization and management across micro-individual, meso-organizational and/or macro-contextual levels How can we understand whiteness in organizations - as property, identity, discursive position, privilege, relations, embodied practices, emotions, imaginaries, temporalities How do ethnic privileges in the workplace intersect with other forms of privilege and disadvantage that are rooted in social identity groups such as class, gender, age, sexualities and migration What are the processes of whiteness that affect the nature, structure and conditions of work and human resource management within different national contexts, specifically in emerging and under-researched marketsWhat are the dangers in making whiteness an object of human resource management analysis given its power to attach itself to a range of political and social agendas including 'progressive' postures.
