Dear Gender and Diversity in Organizations Division Colleagues:
With the usual apologies for cross-posting, Sherry Sullivan and I are very pleased to announce that the next volume of Research in Careers, Searching for Authenticity, is now available through Information Age Publishing. I have attached a flyer describing the volume, but if you are like me and don't necessarily want to "click through," let me give you a thumbnail sketch.
The Research in Careers series is based on the Kaleidoscope Career Model developed by Lisa Mainiero and Sherry Sullivan (both long-term members of the GDO Division). The Kaleidoscope Career Model posits three career parameters--authenticity, balance, and challenge. The current volume focuses on authenticity. While there has been increasing interest in authenticity in the popular literature, there has been less scholarly emphasis on this topic. This volume is one of the first scholarly efforts to bring focused attention to authenticity in the career.
There are seven chapters in the volume.
Exploring authenticity in careers: Implications for research and practice
Douglas T. Hall and Jina Mao
Career authenticity: On being true to oneself at work
Hannes Leroy, Marijke Verbruggen, Anneleen Fourier, and Luc Sels
Exploring issues of underemployment and authenticity in early career
John Blenkinsopp, Tracy Scurry, and Amanda Hay
Toward authenticity or defeat: The jolting effect of layoff
Suzanne C. de Janasz and Amy L. Kenworthy
Enacting authentic careers: An identity salience and social network approach
Wendy Marcinkus Murphy and Elizabeth Hamilton Volpe
Authenticity and career reputation: The development of a conceptual model and recommendations for future research
Sherry E. Sullivan and S. Gayle Baugh
Selling your soul to the devil: Political behavior and the pursuit (or discard) of authenticity and career success
Yongmei Liu, Pamela L. Perrewe, and Mar Magnusen
This volume follows the first on Maintaining Focus, Energy, and Options Over the Career. The second volume focuses on authenticity, whereas subsequent volumes will address the remaining two parameters, balance and challenge. We would love to hear your responses to the volume! We would also like to extend our thanks to all of the authors and to Information Age for their contributions to the careers field.
Information Age usually has an exhibit at the Academy of Management meeting, so you can check out the new volume and all of the other new publications.
Sincerely, Gayle
