| Sensitive research and organisational behaviour: from dilemma to action |
| |
| In organizations subjected to a highly competitive environment, with an increasingly fractured work world, the consideration of sensitive topics by companies—pertaining to ethical issues (fraud, deviance, power plays), taboos (addictions), vulnerable individuals (health conditions), disadvantaged groups (discrimination), and marginalized statuses (gray areas of employment relationships)—as well as behaviors related to private life (domestic violence) becomes as pressing as it is complex, often echoing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) challenges. The field of "sensitive research" helps to understand the emotional, managerial, and strategic difficulties faced by all stakeholders (executives, operational managers, employees, researchers, etc.) and to propose an operational framework to grasp the dilemmas encountered and analyze appropriate modes of action. This special issue will welcome contributions that analyze, through the lens of sensitivity, the behaviors and modes of action of actors to advance knowledge on the reality of sensitivity within organizations and the associated organizational behaviors around three main questions: How do individuals and collectives approach the dilemmas and behaviors associated with sensitive subjects in organizations? How does sensitivity lead to a reflexivity of the actors about themselves, others, and situations? To what extent does the sensitive situation lead to adjustments, adaptations, or innovations by the actors? |
