“…Research on support organizations suggests a diverse typology of these organizations, including governmental initiatives, government‐sponsored or government‐contracted organizations, non‐governmental and non‐profit organizations and social enterprises (Garkisch et al . 2017; McIntosh and Cockburn‐Wootten 2019; Torezani et al . 2008).…”

Increasing levels of displacement and the need to integrate refugees in the workforce pose new challenges to organizations and societies. Extant research on refugee employment and workforce integration currently resides across various disconnected disciplines, posing a significant challenge for management scholars to contribute to timely and relevant solutions. In this paper, we endeavour to address this challenge by reviewing and synthesizing multidisciplinary literature on refugee employment and workforce integration. Using a relational framework, we organize our findings around three levels of analysis -institutional, organizational and individual -to outline the complexity of factors affecting refugees' employment outcomes. Based on our analysis, we introduce and elaborate on the phenomenon of the canvas ceiling -a systemic, multilevel barrier to refugee workforce integration and professional advancement. The primary contributions of this paper are twofold. First, we map and integrate the multidisciplinary findings on the challenges of refugee workforce integration. Second, we provide management scholarship with a future research agenda to address the knowledge gap identified in this review and advance practical developments in this domain.

“…There has been a dearth of research on the refugee third (or voluntary) sector in recent years. Internationally, most of the literature on TSOs and migrants focuses on Mexicans in the USA, and there is, at the time of writing, very little English language literature focussing on EU countries outside of the UK (Garkisch, Heidingsfelder, and Beckmann 2017). While we acknowledge that there is no consensus on the definition of the third or voluntary sector, such is its diversity (Alcock 2010), the category 'RTS organisations' (RTSOs) here covers all organisations, of any size who specifically focus their charitable work on supporting those who have been, or are going through, the asylum system.…”

The vast majority of asylum seekers in the UK are not permitted to enter the labour market. In the absence of the right to work asylum seekers receive welfare support, which amounts to less than a third of the weekly spend of the poorest 10% of British citizens. This article presents new research on the third sector response to the poverty created by this policy regime. Through a four-pronged methodological design we map the scale of this response, and in doing so offer an alternative critical perspective on the inadequacies of government policy, inadequacies which lead to the human rights of some who are within, or who have been through the system, being breached.

“…NGOs have taken the lead, therefore, in covering any deficiencies of the state in terms of the humanitarian aid needed in such a situation (Harvey, 2013). In this regard, Garkisch, Heidingsfelder, and Beckmann (2017) identify four principal functions of migration engagement by third sector organisations:…”

The Syrian refugee crisis: how local governments and NGOs manage their image via social media

2019

This study, based on situational crisis communication theory and set in the context of the Syrian refugee crisis, seeks first to conduct a comparative analysis of the management of online citizen engagement by local governments and non‐governmental organisations (NGOs). Second, it aims to examine the relationship between certain factors pertaining to the types of responses submitted by citizens via the social media of the aforementioned actors. The sample is composed of several Spanish local governments and NGOs belonging to Red de Municipios de Acogida de Refugiados (Local Government Network for Refugee Allocation). The main findings are that NGOs' online engagement with citizens is more than that of local governments. Notably, NGOs are much more active on their Facebook pages than are local governments. The two actors converge, though, in terms of disseminating instructive information and paying less attention to ‘basic crisis response options’. Moreover, the factors ‘content type’, ‘reputation’, and ‘woman’ affect the type of response messages sent by citizens.
