A Guide to Discursive Organizational Psychology Summary

A Guide to Discursive Organizational Psychology by Chris Steyaert

This lively guide showcasing original and carefully curated research illustrates the dynamic relationship between discourse and organizational psychology. It maps the origins and development of discursive approaches in the field of organizational psychology and provides a timely review of the challenges that may confront researchers in the years to come, thereby charting the current and future boundaries of the field.

A Guide to Discursive Organizational Psychology delineates a potential research agenda for discursive organizational psychology. Contributions include empirically rich discussions of both traditional and widely studied topics such as resistance to change, inclusion and exclusion, participation, multi-stakeholder collaboration and diversity management, as well as newer research topics such as language negotiations, work time arrangements, technology development and discourse as intervention. Discursive devices for addressing these phenomena include interpretive repertoires, modes of ordering, rhetorical strategies and sense-making narratives.

This timely book will serve as a guide for students or researchers who are new to discourse analysis in the field of organization and management studies, and provide new perspective to anyone seeking to enhance their conceptual and methodological understanding of the field. It marks a central reference point for anyone interested in the intersection of discursive approaches and organizational psychological phenomena.

Contributors include: P. Dey, C. Gaibrois, A.-K. Heydenreich, P. Hoyer, C.D. Jacobs, C. Michels, J.C. Nentwich, R. Pfyl, D. Resch, F. Schulz, C. Steyaert, F. Ueberbacher

A Guide to Discursive Organizational Psychology Reviews

'Discursive approaches to issues such as creativity and participation are well established in management and organization studies but are much less developed in the field of Organizational Psychology. This book fills this gap in a timely and informative manner, providing much needed insights into how language does not simply represent the social world, but actively produces it. This book illustrates how the turn to language in the social sciences can be usefully applied to the field of Organizational Psychology.' --Penny Dick, University of Sheffield, UK

'The contributors to this book make a compelling case for a greater consideration of discourse in organizational psychology. Focusing on discursive psychology's 'potential for bringing about social change or engaging with emancipatory projects', the chapters examine change from different perspectives including participation, resistance, creativity and change interventions. The breadth of empirical settings is impressive, ranging from the UN World Summit on Sustainable Development to the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) to multilingualism in multinational companies. Similarly, the book covers a range of different methods. The contributions of discourse are made clear so that readers can easily see how discourse can enhance our understanding of organizational change.' --Cynthia Hardy, University of Melbourne, Australia
