Citations in the corpus

• Reflexivity and managerial practice (2004, background): “Ashcraft and Kedrowicz (2002) contend that empowerment can be viewed as a choice of how to participate within a particular discourse.”
• It Depends on Who You're Talking To…: Predictors and Outcomes of Situated Measures of Organizational Identification (2009, background): “Although that research does not measure identification explicitly, Ashcraft and Kedrowicz (2002) note that ‘‘volunteer membership is complicated further by its dual meaning as work and leisure . . . consequently, volunteers may experience conflicted identification’’ (p. 91).”
• Ambivalence and Resistance: A Study of Management in a Concertive Control System (2005, methodology): “As our purpose is to look carefully at practice to inform our understanding about control and resistance, such textual methods are useful for “lending variation, incongruity, process, nuance and texture to more conventional accounts” (Ashcraft & Kedrowicz, 2002).”
