Publications Database

Welcome to the new Schulich Peer-Reviewed Publication Database!

The database is currently in beta-testing and will be updated with more features as time goes on. In the meantime, stakeholders are free to explore our faculty’s numerous works. The left-hand panel affords the ability to search by the following:

  • Faculty Member’s Name;
  • Area of Expertise;
  • Whether the Publication is Open-Access (free for public download);
  • Journal Name; and
  • Date Range.

At present, the database covers publications from 2012 to 2020, but will extend further back in the future. In addition to listing publications, the database includes two types of impact metrics: Altmetrics and Plum. The database will be updated annually with most recent publications from our faculty.

If you have any questions or input, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Winny Shen, D. Ramona Bobocel and Joel Becker (2024). "Intersectional Penalties for Perceived Interpersonal Justice Violations among Black and Hispanic Male Leaders in the Workplace", Journal of Business and Psychology, 1-21.

View Paper

Abstract The Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement has drawn attention to the lack of progress toward racial equity in many domains. Chief among them is the unequal treatment that Black men often face when interacting with law enforcement or within the criminal justice system, which appears heavily associated with the pernicious stereotype that Black men are distinctly aggressive and dangerous. Evidence suggests that Hispanic men are also subject to similar negative stereotypes. We contend that the consequences of this intersectional stereotype are wide-ranging and explore how it manifests and continues to shape the experiences of Black and Hispanic men in contemporary work organizations. Across two field studies surveying employees supervised by a diverse set of leaders, we find evidence that leaders’ intersectional identities moderate the relationship between interpersonal injustice and leader evaluations (i.e., performance ratings, reward recommendations) and relational outcomes (i.e., supervisor-directed organizational citizenship behaviors), such that Black or Hispanic men are penalized more severely for violations of interpersonal justice relative to White men as well as Black or Hispanic women. Additionally, this unequal response across leaders is because subordinates find such aggressive actions less acceptable for Black or Hispanic men, as it violates societal proscriptions surrounding for whom aggressive behaviors are deemed acceptable, rather than due to greater fear associated with the content of this negative stereotype.

Ivona Hideg, Winny Shen and Christy Zhou Koval (2024). "Hear, hear! A review of accent discrimination at work", Current Opinion in Psychology, 60,101906.

View Paper

Abstract Research on diversity in organizations has mostly focused on attributes that rely on visual cues (e.g., gender, race, age) and overlooked an important source of difference that relies on auditory cues – accents. However, workers with non-standard accents (i.e., non-native accents, regional accents) often experience discrimination and negative outcomes at work. We first review prior accent research suggesting that these negative effects can be explained by stereotypes/stigmatization or lower processing fluency. We then identify three emerging topic areas and suggest future research directions in each domain: intersectionality, organizational language policies and practices, and investigation of a greater range of accents and languages.

Abstract Purpose – Given the increasing diversity in the age of job seekers worldwide and evidence of perceptions of discrimination and stereotypes of job seekers at both ends of the age continuum, the purpose of this paper is to identify how perceptions of age-related bias are connected to age-related identity management strategies of unemployed job seekers. Design/methodology/approach – Data were collected from 129 unemployed job-seeking adults who were participants in a career placement service. Participants completed paper-and-pencil surveys about their experiences of age-related bias and engagement in age-related identity management strategies during their job searches. Findings – Older job seekers reported greater perceptions of age-related bias in employment settings, and perceptions of bias related to engaging in attempts to counteract stereotypes, mislead or miscue about one's age, and avoid age-related discussions in job searching. Individuals who were less anxious about their job search were less likely to mislead about age or avoid the topic of age, whereas individuals with higher job-search self-efficacy were more likely to acknowledge their age during their job search. Older job seekers higher in emotion control were more likely to acknowledge their age. Originality/value – Little is known about how job seekers attempt to compensate for or avoid age-related bias. The study provides evidence that younger and older job seekers engage in age-related identity management and that job search competencies relate to engagement in particular strategies.

Cowart, K. and Darke, P. (2014). "Targeting Miss Daisy: Using Age and Gender to Target Unethical Sales Tactics", Marketing Letters, 25(1), 67-75.

View Paper

Abstract Marketers often advocate the use of targeted promotional strategies because they are presumed more effective. However, common targeting variables (gender and age) can also serve to stereotype some consumers (female or older) as more vulnerable to sales pressure. The current research shows that this can cause sales agents to target these stigmatized groups with inferior products. In contrast, encouraging sales agents to empathize with target customers was effective in reducing the targeting of these groups with substandard items. Implications are discussed.
