Hiding in plain sight : Exploring the complex pathways between tactical concealment and relational wellbeing
研究了高等教育环境中学者采用战术性隐藏行为与关系幸福感之间的复杂关系，基于Scott的“隐藏文本”和Keyes的社会幸福感五维度，通过跨国跨学科民族志方法揭示了隐藏与幸福感之间既有促进又有破坏的双重路径。
We argue that the current environment in higher education is one of the primary drivers for the widespread adoption of concealment tactics with the aim of enhancing wellbeing. To explore the relationship between concealment and wellbeing, we draw upon Scott’s conceptualization of “hidden transcripts” and Keyes’s five dimensions of social wellbeing. Using a collaborative ethnographic approach, we examine a 2-year period of individual and collective inquiry by an eclectic multidisciplinary, international group of academics. Our empirical and theoretical contributions expose a complex and, at times, seemingly contradictory relationship between tactical concealments and relational wellbeing, with variously generative and destructive pathways between them. Our research offers a lens through which we can critically explore and extend our understanding of alternative pathways to wellbeing in organizational life.
