“…President Bush and his Administration created ideologies in relation to their enemies, taking advantage of the emotionally charged post-9/11 mentality of the American public (Greenberg & Dratel, 2005). Mrs Bush, Rumsfeld, Gonzales, Miller, and others used these ideologies to morally exclude 'Unlawful Enemy Combatants' from the rest of humanity (Caproni & Finley, 1997). Even the discussion of removing human rights and implementing previously unlawful interrogation techniques opens 'up a dangerous and slippery slope by which torture became normalized' (Macmaster, 2004, p. 4).…”

“…Sometimes the consequences of networks may be considered as violations against the surrounding organisations or society. The dynamics, practices and social structures linked to these violations, such as “rules of rule breaking” (Lyman, 1987), “codes of silence” (see Caproni and Finley, 1997) and “tacit agreement and understanding”, need thorough analysis.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to discuss the gendered social bonds and the everyday organisational practices and discourses of peacekeepers.Design/methodology/approachThe paper is based on preliminary analysis of empirical material gathered through a seven‐month ethnography among Finnish peacekeeping officers in training and service.FindingsIn contrast to studies on homosociality, men's bonding and cohesion as a basis of optimal combat performance in military organisations, I suggest looking at the militarized social encounters, masculinities and collectives from the perspective of hybridity tensions and management. Peacekeepers' everyday practices and social structures can be interpreted as management of context‐specific power tensions.Originality/approachOffers a view to everyday life of peacekeeping and builds a basis for analysing men's social relations in organisations.

Selective Incivility Toward Black Employees Fuels Social Pain Minimization and Defensive Silence

Workplace incivility disproportionately impacts Black employees and sets the stage for employee silence, where workers deliberately withhold information out of fear of retaliation and mistreatment. Although silence can have devastating effects on organizational communication and effectiveness, little research has considered mechanisms linking it to incivility, particularly among Black employees. The current work addresses these and other gaps in the empirical literature to test whether emotion invalidation, termed social pain minimization mediates incivility’s effect on defensive silence. Results from three studies, employing multi-wave and experimental designs, and centering the perspectives of Black employees supported this hypothesis. Black employees reported greater incivility and social pain minimization than White employees. Furthermore, incivility mediated the effect of employee race on social pain minimization (Study 1). Experimental manipulations of uncivil treatment increased expected social pain minimization and defensive silence and social pain minimization mediated incivility’s effect on silence (Study 2). Across a 6-week period, incivility predicted social pain minimization, which then mediated the relationship between incivility and defensive silence. These results provide evidence that in incivility’s wake, emotion invalidation can lead employees to withdraw and engage in defensive silence.
