Teaching

My areas of teaching expertise cover employee relations and HRM generally, but with specific specialism in employment studies, industrial conflict, line management and HRM, sociology of work

Research Interests

Areas of research interest include:

Service work: The political, economic, and social structures and dynamics within the employment relationship. My interests focus on employment and the labour process in service organizations such retailing and hospitality.

Service Triangle: Particular interest of the role of the customer and the impact on the labour process and the organization of (service) work. I am interested in debates related to customer misbehaviour and abuse by customer.

Organizational Misbehaviour: Interest on Control-resistance debates with the wider business structures of contemporary capitalist economies. General interest on labour process theory, the manifestation of industrial conflict and debates on organizational misbehaviour

Customer abuse and sexual harassment in the service industry: I am particularly interested in the embedded problem of customer abuse, violence, and sexual harassment in the service industry, with particular interest in the gay tourism and gay hospitality industry, which remains an underexplored, and underdeveloped theme in research

Line managers and managerial labour process: I am interested in the organization of the managerial work and the managerial labour process, with particular interest on the organization of the front-line service management work and the role of line managers in HRM

Attendance at work and absence management: I am interested in debates related to absence management and workplace attendance across different sectors and contexts.

Employee voice has long been recognised as a central dimension of fairer workplaces and good jobs (Dundon et al. 2004; Wilkinson and Fay, 2011). However, scholars of employee voice overlooked workforce diversity, assuming employees are homogeneous and express themselves generically (Syed, 2021). An exception to the above is the emergence of research on 鈥榚mployee networks鈥� (脕lvarez-Figueroa, 2023; Beaver, 2023), and their potential to offer a distinct 鈥榝orm鈥� of voice for the representation of marginalised organisational communities, and those who remain 鈥榠nvisible鈥� and/or silent. Yet while calls have been made for research which address the potential 鈥榤issing voices鈥� of diverse workforce identities (Kouggianou, 2019), such studies remain limited. For example, the literature predominantly 鈥� and erroneously 鈥� makes heteronormative generalisations, perpetuating a heterosexist approach and neglecting the voice of diverse sexual identities (Corlett et al., 2022; Dahanayake et al., 2023). Few studies have explicitly examined the voice opportunities and experiences of sexual minority employees in mainstream employee voice debates; indeed LGBT+ employees remain missing in most theoretical and empirical conceptualisations of voice in the HRM and management literature (Bell et.al, 2011; Syed, 2021; McFadden and Crowley-Henry, 2018; McNulty et al., 2018). This PhD project is therefore an opportunity to 鈥榞ive voice鈥� to LGBT+ employees, including transgender and non-binary workers, currently underrepresented in the extant literature. It will also contribute to the modest literature concerning the potential of employee networks to amplify the voice of minority groups, as well as the theoretical and empirical laguna of LGBT+ voice and intersectionality in HRM more generally.
