What is shame?

Shame is an emotional experience that arises when you fail to meet expectations from others and you are left with a negative self-image that makes you perceive that you are looking inferior or weak in the eyes of others. Shame may not only arise when it is you who makes an action in front of others, but it may also arise when someone from our group makes an action that makes you believe and think that you are left with a bad image. Shame may arrive for individual or collective actions. Once you feel ashamed, there are two main actions you may take: you may simply run away and avoid people who were with you during the situation or you could also face what was happening and try to make up for what happened to the others. What you do with that shame determines your impact at work.

15ème Prix académique de la recherche en management – Prix Syntec Conseil 2024 Professionals tend to strongly resist breaking from their professions’ core cultural tenets and it is unclear how some may voluntarily break from deeply ingrained views. Through our study of French anesthesiologists who practice hypnosis, we aim to better understand this little-explored phenomenon. Adopting hypnosis, a technique that many anesthesiologists consider subjective, contradicted a core tenet of their profession: the need to only use techniques validated by rigorous scientific-based research. Drawing on interviews and observations, we analyze how these anesthesiologists were able to change their views and reinvent their work. We find that turning inward to oneself (focusing on their own direct experiences of clients) and turning outward to clients (relying on relations with clients) played critical roles in anesthesiologists’ ability to shift their views and adopt hypnosis. Through this process, these anesthesiologists embarked on a voluntary internal transformation, or reboot, whereby they profoundly reassessed their work, onboarded people in adjacent professions to accept their own reinvention, and countered isolation from their peers.

Our study explores historical paradoxes in the coffee industry, focusing on the persistent tension between pragmatism and idealism. Paradoxes are defined as persistent conflicts between opposing yet complementary forces. For example, organizations must balance stability with the need for change. We analyzed the coffee industry in the United States over a century, from the 1910s to the 2020s, using archives from Harvard Business School's Baker Library and other specialized sources. Our research highlights the paradox between pragmatic concerns (such as coffee supply during wartime) and ideological values (like sustainability concerns in the early 2000s). This tension, influenced by historical contexts, is ever-present. For managers, it is crucial to adapt strategies to cultural trends while balancing practical and idealistic goals. Understanding this dynamic helps navigate the complex landscape of the coffee industry, and this lesson is applicable to other sectors as well.

Le syndrome de l'imposteur est un phénomène bien étudié par les psychologues. Il est prédominant chez les personnes aux compétences exceptionnelles, et également très courant chez les femmes. Cela peut survenir pour diverses raisons mais deux facteurs semblent très importants : la dynamique familiale et la pression pour performer au travail. Le syndrome de l'imposteur peut avoir des conséquences importantes non seulement pour la personne qui en souffre, mais aussi pour ceux qui l'entourent. Lorsque la personne souffrant du syndrome de l'imposteur se trouve dans un environnement favorable, elle peut surmonter plus facilement ses sentiments et donner le meilleur d’elle-même.

La frustration est une expérience émotionnelle négative très courante au travail dans un environnement client qui peut survenir dans diverses circonstances, généralement présentes lorsque nos objectifs sont bloqués, que l’on a un certain degré d'incertitude sur les causes du problème, que l’on pense que cette situation est injuste, et que l’on ne peut pas contrôler les choses. Ce qui se passe une fois que l’on se sent frustré, c'est que l’on peut soit « laisser tomber », soit persévérer, et ce que l’on fait en termes d'actions à entreprendre peut dépendre de facteurs personnels et environnementaux.

Drawing from women's testimonials in The Guardian and from contributions of feminist writers, Virginia Woolf, Julia Kristeva, and Margaret Mead, we start a conversation on the positive and energizing aspects of menopause in the workplace. We propose a social interpretation of menopause that challenges a pervasive perspective of medical decline: A theorization of “the dialectic of zest,” as inspired by the writings of Margaret Mead. By problematizing the experiences of women going through this transition in the workplace, we reveal how well-intentioned awareness campaigns can lead to further stigmatization. We thus encourage organizations to not only favor an approach of “education for all” but also extend their social imaginaries beyond medicalized perspectives and coping views.

The purpose of our study is to examine how the sanctions influence macro talent management. To do so, we review the macro talent management (MTM) framework alongside the literature on sanctions. Using the case of Russia we have collected data from 419 media publications discussing the effects of sanctions and analyzed them using critical discourse analysis. Our findings highlight the predominantly negative nature of the sanctions’ impact on MTM ecosystems, theoretically yielding closer links between the sanctions and the MTM framework, and human capital more specifically.

Drawing on the Foucauldian technologies of the self, this study explores how individuals re-envision practices of wellbeing outside of traditional organizational contexts during extreme events. Based on a thematic analysis of 7,234 comments posted on the Yoga with Adriene YouTube channel in 2020, this study unpacks a technologically mediated practice of self-care, which we conceptualize as somametamnemata. Our findings illustrate three entangled aspects of somametamnemata relating to yoga, a form of bodywork: Caring about self through practicing yoga online; caring about self and others through sharing about yoga in written comments; and caring about self and others through responding to shared verbalizations of yoga. By situating the potentiality of individual wellbeing within ill-being, we shift debates and discussions of “corporate wellness” beyond organizational boundaries.

Shame is an emotional experience that occurs when you fail to meet the expectations of others and end up with a negative image of yourself that makes you perceive yourself to be inferior or weak to others. Shame does not only happen when we do something in front of others, but it can also happen when someone in our group does something that makes us look bad. Shame can arise for individual or collective actions.
