People have long made invidious distinctions between individuals
(e.g., the clean and the unclean, good and evil, black and white,
sacred and profane, etc.) (Smith, 1996), and these distinctions
affect the degree to which individuals experience prejudice, unfair
discrimination, and oppression in organizations and society as a
whole. As a result, there has been an increased interest in
research on these distinctions and unfair discrimination in
organizations. Despite this research, most of the studies have
focused on only a subset of minorities including African Americans,
women, older workers, and people with physical disabilities
(Dipboye & Colella, 2005). A number of other minorities have
been forgotten or neglected by organizational researchers including
people with neurological or psychological disabilities, veterans,
Native Americans, people with a criminal history, and those who
come from low socioeconomic or poor backgrounds. Thus, the primary
purposes of this issue of Research in HRM is to foster research on
"Forgotten Minorities" or those who are members of groups that have
been excluded from organizations and neglected by organizational
research. In view of these arguments, this issue (a) presents a
brief review of the organizational research on the exclusion and
repudiation of people who are forgotten minorities, (b) offers
directions for future research on these outgroup members, and (c)
considers key implications for practice that can facilitate the
inclusion of forgotten minorities in organizations.

Chosen peoples demonstrates how biblical themes, ideas and
metaphors shaped racial, national and imperial identities in the
long nineteenth century. Even as radical new ideas challenged the
historicity of the Bible, biblical notions of lineage, descent and
inheritance continued to inform understandings of race, nation and
empire. European settler movements portrayed 'new' territories
across the seas as lands of Canaan, but if many colonised and
conquered peoples resisted the imposition of biblical narratives,
they also appropriated biblical tropes to their own ends. These
innovative case-studies throw new light on familiar areas such as
slavery, colonialism and the missionary project, while forging
exciting cross-comparisons between race, identity and the politics
of biblical translation and interpretation in South Africa, Egypt,
Australia, America and Ireland. -- .
As we enter the third decade of the twenty-first century, we are
seeing a renaissance of context in influencing leadership,
leader-follower relations, and leader effectiveness as well as a
recognition of the tripartite nature of leadership. To fully
understand and appreciate leadership, one must see the multiple
parts of it as well as the connections among them. Leadership is
multi-dimensional; leadership depends on leaders, followers, and
context. Leadership research in the past three decades has been
dominated by interest in neo-charismatic leadership styles and a
focus on leadermember exchange in leader-follower relationships.
Recently other approaches to leadership, such as ethical and
authentic leaders, have garnered greater attention in response to
the moral and ethical challenges in the workplace. Additionally,
established approaches to leadership emergence and development have
been challenged by their relevance to diverse work forces and
issues of inclusion. This twelve article volume includes an
outstanding roster of established and emerging leadership authors
who tackle questions of leadership at the intersections of leaders,
followers, and context. The volume opens with two articles that set
the stage for the current state of leadership research and paths
for its future including a commentary by Edwin Locke and Gary
Latham on current management research practices and an
action-oriented review of leadership research from the start of the
21st century. The volume is organized around three themes:
leadership and diversity, leaderfollower relationships, and systems
of leader, follower, and context. Articles in the volume advance
diversity research with an integration of leadership and diversity
theories that demonstrate the former's need for re-examination in
light of the latter, a systematic development of inclusive
leadership theory, and a close examination of immigrant ethnic
identity. The authors of several articles expand our understanding
of leader-follower relationships in the context of teams and
alliances, the contextual boundaries of authentic leadership
theory, and the authentic leader's potential impact on harassment
in organizations. The volume culminates with three demonstrations
of leadership as systems of leader-follower-context interaction,
including a close examination of the toxic triangle's manifestation
in university scandals, a micro-process model of power and
leadership, and a configurational approach to studying leadership.
The volume is designed primarily for scholars in the fields of
human resource management, organizational behavior, and leadership.
It also well serves the needs of instructors and students in
master's and doctoral courses in leadership or organizational
behavior. Each article is grounded in managerial context that will
appeal to practitioners in the field.

Commodity, culture and colonialism are intimately related and
mutually constitutive. The desire for commodities drove colonial
expansion at the same time that colonial expansion fuelled
technological invention, created new markets for goods, displaced
populations and transformed local and indigenous cultures in
dramatic and often violent ways. This book analyses the
transformation of local cultures in the context of global
interaction in the period 1851-1914. By focusing on episodes in the
social and cultural lives of commodities, it explores some of the
ways in which commodities shaped the colonial cultures of global
modernity. Chapters by experts in the field examine the production,
circulation, display and representation of commodities in various
regional and national contexts, and draw on a range of theoretical
and disciplinary approaches. An integrated, coherent and urgent
response to a number of key debates in postcolonial and Victorian
studies, world literature and imperial history, this book will be
of interest to researchers with interests in migration, commodity
culture, colonial history and transnational networks of print and
ideas.

George Mackay Brown is recognized as one of Scotland's greatest
20th-century lyric poets. His work is integral to the flowering of
Scottish literature during the last 50 years. Admired by many
fellow poets, including Seamus Heaney and Douglas Dunn, his poems
are deeply individual and unmistakable in their setting: "the small
green world" of the Orkney Islands where he lived for most of his
life, with its elemental forces of sea and sky and Norse and
Icelandic ancestry, is brought vividly and memorably to life. Here,
his rich and resonant poetry is collected in one volume, making
available again many poems that are otherwise out of print.
Provide opportunities to consolidate mathematical knowledge and
skills and help learners to grow in confidence and independence
with this colourful, inquiry-based Practice and Mastery Book. *

Managers are increasingly employing teams as a primary work unit in
organizations, but they are struggling with how to effectively lead
the emerging team structures. Intensifying the challenges that they
are facing, work restrictions due to the Covid-19 pandemic hastened
the move to remote work, flexible work arrangements, and virtual
teams. The current volume of Research in Human Resource Management
presents literature reviews, conceptual development, and original
research evidence to inform the management of teams and spotlight
new directions and approaches for team research in this evolving,
complex, and dynamic environment. This ten article volume includes
an outstanding roster of established and emerging team scholars who
define the future of team management research. The volume is
presented in four parts. PART ONE introduces perspectives on the
science of team research. Joshua Strauss and James Grand present
the systems thinking perspective as an alternative to more
traditional IPO and multi-level covariation models. Patrick Rosopa
introduces a machine learning approach to inductive team research
for complex networks and dynamic variable relationships. PART TWO
includes three articles that address team performance. Gabe Dickey
and colleagues present a model of performance management,
leadership, and engagement. Akvile Mockevic iu te and colleagues
systematically review the feedback literature for teams and present
a model of performance enhancement. John Austin provides a
qualitative study that steers transactive memory research in a new
direction for teams accessing external expertise. PART THREE offers
two articles on individualized flexible work arrangements among
team members and their effect on team outcomes. Miriam Baumga rtner
and Martina Hartner-Tiefenthaler offer script development and a
reflexivity process to address the negative impact of uncoordinated
team member job crafting. Chenwei Liao presents empirical evidence
about the team efficacy and performance outcomes from servant
leadership in managing the i-deals process for team members. PART
FOUR includes two articles that address the rising presence of
virtual teams by looking at electronic communication and its
implications for diverse team members. Julio Canedo and colleagues
review literature regarding diversity and virtual teams to inform
the development of a model that links measures of diversity and the
intervening experience of diversity, types of electronic
communication, virtual team processes, and team outcomes. Bill
Bommer and James Schmidtke present an empirical study addressing
the question of whether team member behavior is different in
virtual meetings than face-to-face and whether there is a gender
implication for the change to videoconferencing. The volume is
designed primarily for scholars in the fields of human resource
management, organizational behavior, and industrial-organizational
psychology. It also serves the needs of instructors and students in
master's and doctoral courses in industrial-organizational
psychology, human resource management, or organizational behavior.
Each article is grounded in managerial context that will appeal to
practitioners in the field.

Charting the development of Brown's ideas and style, this book
offers a study of the poet and writer's work taken as a whole.
Including comparative studies of his key works, the authors
describe and analyse his works and reflect on his enduring concern
to achieve perfection of form and expression.
How many times have you looked admiringly at someone in great shape
and thought to yourself, "Wow, she has nice weight?" I bet never.
You don't notice someone's weight. You notice bright eyes, healthy
skin, muscle tone, pleasing shape, and the absence of excess fat.
In other words, you notice characteristics that are attractive.
Your weight is not all that important to you. How do I know?
Because no woman would care if she weighed 300 pounds if she were a
firm and shapely size two. No man would care if he weighed 300
pounds if he had a 29-inch waist and chiseled abdominal muscles. So
what are you really saying when you say, "I want to lose weight?" I
bet that you are really saying, "I want to look attractive. I want
to feel good about myself. I want to feel healthy, strong and
confident; and I don't want to be fat." The problem is, simply
losing body weight will not get you there. The title of this book
is deliberately deceptive. Initially you may have thought, "What do
you mean stop trying to lose weight? Have you seen me?" Yes, I have
seen you, and if you have too much fat on your body of course I
want you to lose weight, but I want you to lose the right kind of
weight. Yes, there is a distinction. Not all weight loss is created
equal. It can be good or bad, and the path that leads to not only
the look you really want, but also the life you want, just may be
the one less traveled. Getting on that path requires that you think
differently.
