“…Accordingly, findings expanded on knowledge of transitions and demands directing early career establishment and long-term career results despite various problems, challenges and transitions in life (Smart and Peterson, 1994).

“…Linguistic profiling hinders career development opportunities for individuals and reduces diversity in organizational-level positions (Bice and Kroll, 2019). Barriers to advancement for diverse individuals reinforce power hierarchies and exclude various perspectives in decisionmaking processes (Maass et al, 1989). Lack of representation hinders innovation and inclusive policies (Mauranen and Jenkins, 2019).…”

PurposeUnderstanding linguistic profiling and its substantial consequences on employee career development is essential in diverse workplaces. This study utilizes Levinson’s eras and career development theories to analyze the complicated relationship between linguistic profiling and biases, which hamper employee career development.Design/methodology/approachThis study used an interpretive methodology and conducted thematic data analysis. It documented lessons learned from diverse viewpoints through semi-structured interviews with 19 participants conducted in November and December 2022.FindingsThe study demonstrates that linguistic discrimination occurs in diverse workplaces. After data exploration, four intriguing themes appeared. The first theme was related to employees who were discriminated against because of various languages. This shows how often language choice affects employees. The second theme examined how linguistic profiling intersected with marginalized groups, increasing discrimination. The third theme, linguistic profiling and career development showed that bias had a huge influence on career progression. The fourth theme emphasizes organizational policies for preventing language discrimination, promoting career growth and inclusive organizations.Originality/valueThis study advances the understanding of linguistic profiling and career development in a multilingual society. In addition, it furthers discourse and provides ways to minimize biases, creating a more inclusive workplace environment.

“…O el sesgo lingüístico intergrupal (p. ej., Maass et al, 1989), por virtud del cual se tiende a usar palabras más abstractas (frente a las concretas) al describir el comportamiento positivo de los miembros del grupo interno y el patrón inverso para los miembros del grupo externo («luchamos por la justicia, el bien común…/ellos actuaron de forma corrupta, mintieron en esta u otra ocasión…»). Finalmente, la última creencia tiende a generar la idea de que mi grupo es una referencia razonable.…”

Objetivos: en un momento en el que miles de códigos éticos empiezan a aprobarse en las Administraciones públicas españolas, este artículo trata de aportar luz sobre sus posibilidades y limitaciones, considerando, especialmente, los retos cognitivos que representan y su inserción en entornos organizativos que, en ocasiones, socializan en malas prácticas a sus empleados. Metodología: se trata de un texto teórico y de reflexión, basado en teoría moral aplicada, centrado en la denominada ética administrativa, al que se aporta investigación reciente sobre ciencia cognitiva. Resultados: el texto resalta el destacado papel de la motivación moral y la construcción del carácter para el éxito de los códigos, pero también nos permite comprender los problemas que se derivan de los conflictos de valores en el servicio público y cómo afrontarlos. Se demuestra el papel de las emociones, sentimientos e intuiciones en la conformación de las decisiones éticas, así como el riesgo de los sesgos cognitivos en la toma de decisiones frente a problemas morales. Finalmente, se trata el problema de los riesgos de socialización y normalización de prácticas corruptas en las organizaciones. Conclusiones: derivadas de los resultados, se aportan recomendaciones para las personas y organizaciones públicas a la hora de desarrollar y utilizar los códigos.

It is now 25 years since the publication of Tajfel and Turner's (1979) seminal statement on social identity theory and 15 years since Ashforth and Mael (1989) published their classic Academy of Management Review article pointing to the potential value of using this theory to enhance researchers' understanding of organizational life. Whatever else the latter article may have achieved, it is clear that it was highly prophetic, as, over the intervening period, industrial and organizational psychologists' interest in social identity and related concepts has increased at a phenomenal rate. On top of nearly 300 citations of the Ashforth and Mael paper, this is indicated, among other developments, by the publication of several key books and journal special issues devoted to research in this area (e.g.,
