In this article, we highlight useful insights from critical gerontological, labor process, and mental health literatures and analyze the patterning of workplace age discrimination and its implications for sense of job insecurity, job-specific stress, and the overall mental health of full-time workers 40 years old and above, covered by the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA). Our analyses, which draw on two decades and five waves of the General Social Survey (2002–2018), reveal (1) the prevalence of self-reported workplace age discrimination and growing vulnerability particularly for those 60 years and above, (2) clear social-psychological costs when it comes to job insecurity, work-specific stress, and overall self-reported mental health, and (3) dimensions of status and workplace social relations that offer a protective buffer or exacerbate age discrimination’s corrosive effects. Future research on age as an important status vulnerability within the domain of employment and the implications of unjust treatment for well-being and mental health are clearly warranted. }, journal={SOCIETY AND MENTAL HEALTH}, author={Roscigno, Vincent J. and Zheng, Hui and Crowley, Martha}, year={2022}, month={Aug} }

 @article{crowley_knepper_2019, title={Strangers in their hometown: Demographic change, revitalization and community engagement in new Latino destinations}, volume={79}, ISSN={["1096-0317"]}, DOI={10.1016/j.ssresearch.2018.12.006}, abstractNote={Rapid economic, demographic and social change in America's new Latino destinations has generated concerns about changing quality of life in rural communities. Findings from prior research suggest that the arrival of socioeconomically vulnerable newcomers may undermine demographic foundations of community engagement, and that heterogeneity, segregation, race/ethnic tension, and rising income inequality may reduce aggregate engagement in local affairs. Research on new Latino destinations, however, points to unique attributes of newcomers that may offset these challenges or even enhance community life. In this study, we investigate changes in demographic foundations for participation, community revitalization and shifts in economic, civic and political activity in new nonmetropolitan Latino destinations over the 1990s and 2000s. Using data from the Census of Population, American Community Survey, County Business Patterns, Census of Religion, and voting records, and controlling for relevant county attributes, we compare trajectories of counties that received large numbers of Latinos after 1990 to similar counties that did not experience rapid Latino growth. Difference-in-difference regression analyses reveal that despite erosion of foundations for participation, most notably education, economic well-being and English-language proficiency, Latino influxes have helped to revitalize new destination communities and promoted economic activity conducive to community engagement. Contrary to claims that individuals in more diverse environments withdraw from community life and "hunker down" at home (Putnam 2007), we find no evidence that diversification has reduced community participation; instead, residents of new communities have become more civically and politically engaged.}, journal={SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH}, author={Crowley, Martha and Knepper, Pete}, year={2019}, month={Mar}, pages={56–70} }

Yet this is not a fatalistic story; there is hope. Levitsky is quick to suggest the important role advocacy organizations can play by serving as sources of new models of social arrangements. Another promising achievement is Levitsky’s augmentation of the caregiving literature by highlighting ‘‘The Rewards of Caregiving’’—the positive dimensions of providing care to a loved one. In contrast to what the predominant tales of tragedy suggest, relationships can deepen, moments can be cherished, and carers can learn about their own character, strengths, and abilities. Ultimately, they are also successful in meeting the needs of their loved ones; and by demonstrating the tenacity, resilience, and resourcefulness of carers, Levitsky reveals their collective potential for confronting these seemingly countless barriers. Levitsky optimistically concludes that the growing constituency of current and past carers willing and able to participate in reform efforts give us reason to believe that this nascent rise of politicization can emerge as a political force to be reckoned with in the very near future. Rather than focusing on whether or not their efforts will lead to the passage of new social policies, Levitsky is persuaded that when family caregivers do politicize, they will unmask the political cover for maintaining the status quo once and for all.}, number={2}, journal={CONTEMPORARY SOCIOLOGY-A JOURNAL OF REVIEWS}, author={Crowley, Martha}, year={2016}, month={Mar}, pages={211–213} }

Yet, few studies have explored how Latinos have fared in new destinations, and even fewer have examined economic implications for other minority workers and their families. We use county-level data from the 1990 and 2000 U.S. Census and the 2006-2010 American Community Survey to compare the changing economic circumstances (e.g., employment and unemployment, poverty, income, and homeownership) of Latinos and African Americans in new Latino boomtowns. We also evaluate the comparative economic trajectories of Latinos in new destinations and established gateways. During the 1990s, new rural destinations provided clear economic benefits to Latinos, even surpassing African Americans on some economic indicators. The 2000s, however, ushered in higher rates of Latino poverty; the economic circumstances of Latinos also deteriorated more rapidly in new vis-à-vis traditional destinations. By 2010, individual and family poverty rates in new destinations were significantly higher among Latinos than African Americans, despite higher labor force participation and lower levels of unemployment. Difference-in-difference models demonstrate that in both the 1990s and 2000s, economic trajectories of African Americans in new Latino destinations largely mirrored those observed in places without large Latino influxes. Any economic benefits for Latinos in new rural destinations thus have not come at the expense of African Americans.}, journal={SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH}, author={Crowley, Martha and Lichter, Daniel T. and Turner, Richard N.}, year={2015}, month={May}, pages={77–92} }

Abusive treatment rooted in coercion, however, generates hostility toward management and intensifies feelings of shame associated with coercive control. Contrary to expectations, a pattern of abuse does not tend to generate coworker conflict. Reimmersion in the case studies suggests that when it does, the cause is often favoritism—a correlate of abuse.}, number={3}, journal={AMERICAN BEHAVIORAL SCIENTIST}, author={Crowley, Martha}, year={2014}, month={Mar}, pages={416–434} }

Results suggest that male work groups more often encounter persuasive “bundles” of control that enhance autonomy, creativity, meaningfulness and satisfaction, while female work groups confront more coercive arrangements, especially direct supervision, that erode these and other foundations of dignity at work.

The conflict school highlights variation in experiences of and responses to teamwork, calling particular attention to worker resistance. This study uses mixed methods to investigate these perspectives simultaneously, analyzing content-coded data on 204 work groups.

Qualitative comparative analyses of 154 content-coded workplace ethnographies suggest that professionals encounter persuasive ‘bundles’ of control that enhance expressive and behavioral manifestations of dignity as well as pride. However, these benefits come at the expense of high levels of stress associated with internal drives and externally driven normative orientations and behaviors. Workers in manual and service occupations confront a broader array of approaches, including coercive control combinations that erode pride and effort by dehumanizing workers and inviting abuse. Furthermore, the benefits of persuasive control combinations in these settings are mitigated by supplementary constraints, which promote maintenance of a protective distance from employers that may also help to limit stress. The paper concludes with organizational strategies for curbing abuse in coercive manual and service environments and a discussion of changes necessary to address the problem of stress in the professions. }, number={10}, journal={ORGANIZATION STUDIES}, author={Crowley, Martha}, year={2012}, month={Oct}, pages={1383–1406} }

In this article, we investigate how the proliferation of employee involvement schemes in manual production and the growth of layoffs, temporary outsourcing, and project-based teams in the professions have influenced working conditions in both manual and professional settings. We argue that these practices represent not a departure from scientific management as is often presumed, but rather adoption of Taylorist principles not fully manifested in Fordist-era mass production. Flexible practices have thus expanded the influence of scientific management in manual work, and extended the scope of its application into the professions in an era perhaps more aptly termed neo-Taylorist than post-Fordist. Using data derived from the population of workplace ethnographies, we evaluate historical shifts in the organization of manual and professional work and outcomes for employees. Our findings support accounts critical of the nature and degree of change in manual jobs and suggest that post-Fordist shifts in the professions have successfully ushered in intensification analogous to what Fordist strategies accomplished in manual work—with unintended negative consequences for workers. Our conclusions point to a general deterioration of conditions in both manual and professional occupations due at least in part to an increasingly rigorous application of the principles of scientific management to both types of work.}, number={3}, journal={SOCIAL PROBLEMS}, author={Crowley, Martha and Tope, Daniel and Chamberlain, Lindsey Joyce and Hodson, Randy}, year={2010}, month={Aug}, pages={421–447} }

Using the 1992–2001 demographic supplements of the Current Population Survey , we track child poverty rates before and after passage of the 1996 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act. We find that increasing maternal employment accounted for roughly one-half of the decline in poverty among children living with single mothers. The largest economic benefits from increasing maternal employment were observed among African American children and those living with poorly educated mothers. Unlike the 1991–1995 period, changes in family structure over 1996–2000 were no longer giving demographic impetus to higher child poverty rates. Evidence that recent declines in nonmarital fertility have reduced child poverty rates, however, is limited. We conclude with benchmark estimates of the economic implications of marriage promotion initiatives and document post-1996 increases in children's co-residence in cohabiting couple families.}, number={3}, journal={Social Science Research}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Lichter, Daniel T and Crowley, Martha L}, year={2004}, month={Sep}, pages={385–408} }
