Abstract

While increased attention has been paid to the role of values and emotions in fostering social action, there is limited research on individual-level body work and how individuals’ bodies may be integral to conducting various forms of institutional work and processes of legitimation. Indeed, management research has been criticized for being “bodiless.” We leverage a qualitative study of everyday Indigenous actors from the Canadian province of Saskatchewan and identify three modes whereby body work is connected to values work and emotion work, namely, body as source, body as conduit, and body as canvas. Further, we abductively build a conceptual framework that helps clarify how values work, emotion work, and body work are intrinsically connected and serve as drivers of various forms of social action.
