“…Tribal stigma reflects membership in a group or category that is deemed inferior and discredited (Slutskaya et al, 2016). It tends to be genetically and culturally attached to individual traits, arising from one's race or ethnicity (Derous, Ryan, & Nguyen, 2012;Stewart & Shapiro, 2000), gender (Byun & Won, 2020;Martell & DeSmet, 2001), class (Brand & Thomas, 2014;Gray et al, 2018), and sexual orientation (Mize & Manago, 2018;Tilcsik, Anteby, & Knight, 2015). But tribal stigma can also impact occupations by association, wherein groups that are deemed "inferior" taint the entire occupation (Slay & Smith, 2011: 211).…”

Stigma has become an increasingly significant challenge for society. Recognition of this problem is indicated by the growing attention to it within the management literature which has provided illuminating insights. However, stigma has primarily been examined at a single level of analysis: individual, occupational, organizational, or industry. Yet, cultural understandings of what is discreditable or taboo do not come from the individual, occupation, organization, or industry that is stigmatized; on the contrary, they come from particular sources that transcend levels. As such, we propose that current silos within the literature may not only be preventing engagement with insights from different levels of analysis, but, importantly, may be preventing us from truly understanding stigmatization as a social process. To address this issue, we review the stigma literature and then present an across level integrative framework of the sources, characteristics, and management strategies. Our framework provides a common language that integrates insights across these levels and enables a shift in attention from how actors respond to stigma to broader processes of stigmatization.

“…The " fatherhood forfeit " of suspicion builds upon earlier work by Byun and Won (2020) who found that the initial reaction to Korean fathers taking up parental leave was largely "Umm … why should you? ", demonstrating the emergence of suspicion in a wider context.…”

Existing academic literature consistently points to a changing role for modern fathers in which they take an egalitarian role in the caregiving responsibilities for their children. Despite this, fathers are observed to continue to dominate the realms of full‐time working, aligning to more traditional breadwinning mentalities than such trends might suggest, raising questions around inequality. Fathers at work have previously been found to encounter challenges within the workplace when they alter, or consider altering their work patterns due to caregiving responsibilities. Employing a sample of working parents and managers, this paper explores how caregiving fathers are perceived within organizations and in considering their experiences, provides a nuanced and detailed understanding of the ways in which mistreatment for caregiving fathers manifests within contemporary UK workplaces. Caregiving fathers are found to face specific challenges termed “fatherhood forfeits” such as perceived idleness, suffering mockery, and being viewed with suspicion by male and female co‐workers. Actions are proposed to address “fatherhood forfeits” that include specific organizational training interventions and the importance of workplace role modeling.

“…In the US, there are no guaranteed paid paternal leave options (or maternal leave options), whereas 43 countries offer 14 or more weeks of paid paternal leave as of 2015 (Earle & Heymann, 2019). Too, even among countries with liberal paternal leave policies such as Korea (which offers up to 52 weeks of paid leave to fathers), company cultures do not always support men's taking advantage of such policies (Byun & Won, 2020).…”

A personal and relational model of father identity construction

Although extensive, the identity theory literature does little to explain how specific identities are constructed. Developmental and sociological work primarily have focused on either images of possible future selves in adolescence, or established identities in adulthood and their impacts on behavior. To date, little work has connected the two realms or proposed what processes occupy the "black box" of identity creation between adolescence and adulthood. To begin to address this gap, we use identity theory to propose a model of father identity construction, focusing on the influence of personal and relational characteristics. Specifically, we propose that the formation of men's status and role identities as fathers are shaped by paternal selfefficacy and existing identity hierarchies, as well as their experiences with their own fathers and fathering role models and the views of their partners-coparents. Implications and additional applications of the model are elaborated.
