SUMMARY:AMR Special Topic Forum: Marginalized Workers and Marginalized Populations in Organizations
DESCRIPTION:Submit via the AMR Manuscript Central Site\n\n\n\n\nSubmission Deadline: 31 January 2026 \n\n\n\nGuest Editors\n\n\n\nJohn Amis\, Prithviraj Chattopadhyay\, Aparna Joshi\, Jamie Ladge\, Kristie Rogers\, Madeline Toubiana\, Paul Tracey\, and Alexis N. Smith \n\n\n\nSpecial Topic Forum Overview\n\n\n\nIn recent decades\, the nature of work and the composition of the workforce have changed dramatically. As many workplaces have become more diverse\, inclusive\, and global\, and as work itself takes on new forms (e.g.\, gig work\, remote work\, nontraditional hours)\, the Academy of Management Review has led STFs (e.g.\, diversity; changing nature of work relationships\, the “new normal”) and From the Editor articles (e.g.\, inequality) to advance theory accordingly. Yet\, much of management theory still reflects assumptions and constructs developed within a specific socio-cultural and economic context—often implicitly centered around a predominantly white\, male\, white-collar\, 9-to-5 workforce in Western contexts. It is imperative to examine how theories that arose within particular contexts may overlook or marginalize other experiences. For example\, constructs that assume access to resources\, job security\, or linear career trajectories may not capture the lived realities of those in precarious\, part-time\, or informal work settings. Likewise\, theories predicated on homogeneity within worker identity groups may miss key insights from those who navigate multiple\, intersecting identities. \n\n\n\nThis forum will consider theoretical contributions that challenge or extend existing management theorizing and constructs to better represent a diverse range of workers\, including those who work outside traditional paradigms and may experience marginalization within their work contexts. \n\n\n\nCall for Contributions\n\n\n\nWe encourage submissions that address the complex and evolving dynamics surrounding marginalized workers and populations in organizations. Topics may include but are not limited to: \n\n\n\n\nRe-evaluating Theoretical Assumptions about Behavior in Organizations\n\nHow do historical assumptions underlying core theories in our field impact our understanding of marginalized workers today?\n\n\n\nIn what ways do traditional or existing theoretical domains that inform workers’ experiences (e.g.\, employee attitudes\, decision making\, work-life interface\, team dynamics\, power and organizational politics\, career advancement\, motivation\, conflict) need to evolve to reflect the experiences of diverse workers\, including those who may not conform to professions or office-based work schedules?\n\n\n\n\n\nMovements\, Social Activism\, and Institutional Change\n\nHow do social movements and grassroots activism influence organizational change\, especially in promoting the diversity\, equity\, and inclusion of marginalized workers?\n\n\n\nWhat roles do marginalized workers play in social activism within organizations\, and how do these movements drive institutional change?\n\n\n\nHow can management theories better incorporate the influence of social activism and the agency of marginalized populations in effecting systemic change?\n\n\n\n\n\nSocial Evaluation: Stigma\, Legitimacy\, and Reputation\n\nHow do processes of stigma\, legitimacy\, and reputation management play out for marginalized workers and groups within organizations?\n\n\n\nWhat strategies do workers and organizations use to navigate and resist stigma associated with various forms of marginalization\, and how do these impact career trajectories?\n\n\n\nHow can theories on legitimacy and reputation be expanded to capture the experiences and unique challenges faced by stigmatized or nontraditional workers?\n\n\n\n\n\nEconomic Diversity and the Dynamics of Marginalized Communities\n\nHow do social class backgrounds influence workers’ experiences and their ability to navigate organizational environments?\n\n\n\nWhat unique challenges and opportunities arise for social class transitioners or those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds entering higher-status professions?\n\n\n\nHow does economic diversity shape interactions\, career progression\, and identity within organizational settings\, particularly for workers in emerging economies?\n\n\n\nHow do dynamics of organization-community relations shift in the context of marginalization?\n\n\n\n\n\nIntersectional Identities and Undertheorized Dimensions of Workplace Inequality\n\nHow do marginalized identities (e.g.\, race\, gender\, socioeconomic background\, neurodiversity\, country of origin) impact experiences of inclusion\, advancement\, and discrimination in organizations in ways that existing theories cannot explain?\n\n\n\nHow can intersectionality theorizing help us better understand the complexities of marginalized workers’ experiences and contribute to more inclusive organizational practices?\n\n\n\n\n\nNontraditional Work Settings and Emerging Workforce Models\n\nHow do theories on professionalism and workplace dynamics apply (or fail to apply) in gig work\, remote work\, and other nontraditional employment arrangements?\n\n\n\nWhat are the implications for marginalized populations who may disproportionately occupy these roles\, and how might management research better capture their unique experiences?\n\n\n\nHow and when do marginalized individuals create new organizations or organizational forms that might better enable inclusive experiences and spaces?\n\n\n\n\n\nLeadership and Marginalized Populations\n\nHow do traditional leadership theories and styles accommodate (or fail to accommodate) the needs and perspectives of marginalized workers and populations?\n\n\n\nWhat new leadership frameworks or practices emerge from marginalized groups\, and how can these reshape existing paradigms in management research?\n\n\n\nHow do marginalized workers navigate leadership roles\, and what barriers and enablers influence their success in these positions?\n\n\n\n\n\nEmotion\, Hate\, and Shame in Marginalization\n\nWhat role do emotions like hate and shame play in shaping marginalized workers’ experiences within organizations\, and how do such emotions impact identity\, motivation\, and sense of belonging?\n\n\n\nWhat strategies do individuals and groups use to navigate or mitigate emotional experiences (e.g.\, shame\, resentment) that arise through stigmatization? How might they impact and inform theorizing on emotions in organizations or other change processes?\n\n\n\n\n\nEmbodiment and Marginalization\n\nHow is the body itself implicated in processes of marginalization\, and in what ways may these dynamics reinforce social hierarchies within organizational settings?\n\n\n\nHow might we more fully account for embodied experiences of marginalization\, considering how physical and visible aspects of identity influence perceptions\, inclusion\, and exclusion in organizational spaces?\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTimeline and Submission\n\n\n\nThe deadline for submissions is 31 January\, 2026 at 23:59 ET (DST+1\,UTC-4). All submissions must be uploaded to the Manuscript Central website between 1 January\, 2026 and 31 January 2026. Guidelines for contributors and the AOM Style Guide for Authors must be followed. To answer questions from authors who are planning to submit to the STF\, a team of guest editors will host two online Q&A sessions in March and September 2025. Participation in the Q&A session is not a prerequisite for submitting your paper to AMR and does not does affect the manuscript review process and outcome. \n\n\n\nFor questions about submissions\, contact AMR’s Managing Editor. For questions about the content of this STF\, contact Kristie Rogers or Paul Tracey.
