Gossip is often seen as bad.\u00a0When you hear the word gossip, what often comes to people’s minds is usually from hot news about celebrities to bad behavior of teenagers shown on television shows Gossip Girl.\u00a0Although often thought of as mere rumours, gossip has turned out to be an important part of\u00a0<\/span>politics<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and shows how the world works.<\/span><\/p>\n

Things related to gossip are usually closely associated with the image of women who like to gossip.\u00a0An informal analysis of 100 images with the keyword ‘gossip’ on Google showed 62% were images of women gossiping, and only 7% showed images of men.\u00a0The remaining 31% showed women and men gossiping together.\u00a0This reinforces the popular myth that men don’t gossip.<\/span><\/p>\n

In fact,\u00a0<\/span>research shows<\/span><\/a>\u00a0that both men and women gossip in the same amount and intensity.<\/span><\/p>\n

The existence of gossip can be traced from the beginning of the formation of language as an intermediary of communication between humans.\u00a0Evolutionary psychologist Robin Dunbar argues that language evolved to\u00a0<\/span>allow people to gossip<\/span><\/a>\u00a0.\u00a0From its ancient form to its present day, gossip has become a way of conveying social information about who can (and cannot) be trusted, who is only looking for profit, and who is talking nonsense.<\/span><\/p>\n

Throughout the Middle Ages, the word gossip (originally\u00a0<\/span>godsibb<\/span><\/em>\u00a0meaning “parent\/godparent” in Old English) evolved to refer to women helping\u00a0<\/span>other women during childbirth<\/span><\/a>\u00a0.\u00a0Over time and after several spelling changes, the term gossip was eventually defined as\u00a0<\/span>\u201canyone who engages in useless talk\u201d<\/span><\/a>\u00a0.<\/span><\/p>\n

The term gossip did not take on a negative meaning until the 16th-18th centuries, when\u00a0<\/span>witch<\/span><\/a>\u00a0-hunts were carried out by many European kingdoms in ancient times.\u00a0At that time, gossip was considered to trigger accusations of witchcraft and witchcraft, which then led to\u00a0<\/span>the practice of torture<\/span><\/a>\u00a0as an effort to punish and silence women.\u00a0This is the beginning of the emergence of the reputation and negative stereotypes against gossip which is associated as “women’s conversation”.<\/span><\/p>\n

Paradoxically, at the same time, gossip in the context of conversations between men became popular throughout the 17th and 18th centuries in\u00a0<\/span>coffee shops in England<\/span><\/a>\u00a0, the exclusive gathering place of educated and wealthy men who came just to chat showing intelligence and their intellectual talent.\u00a0There is hardly any evidence of women in the tavern except as waitresses.\u00a0This is what reinforces the notion that ‘women gossip’, whereas ‘men have serious conversations’.<\/span><\/p>\n

My research on\u00a0<\/span>gossip and organizations<\/span><\/a>\u00a0breaks the illusion that gossip is just a small talk by women.\u00a0When interviewing men about their experiences of gossiping at work, most of them start with \u201cI’m not a gossip person, but\u2026\u201d, and then they talk at length about how they use gossip strategically and politically.<\/span><\/p>\n

I found many subtleties of meaning for the term gossip, such as \u201c\u00a0<\/span>shop talk<\/span><\/em>\u00a0\u201d (talk about work in social or informal situations), \u201cpost-meeting discussion\u201d, and \u201ccorridor conversation\u201d.\u00a0Men seem to feel more comfortable with these terms.<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead of asking “what’s the gossip?”\u00a0after their vacation, they prefer to ask \u201cwhat happened?\u201d.\u00a0The intent of the question is the same, but men often don’t want to be embarrassed and associated with gossiping.\u00a0Similarly, the term they use to describe people who gossip is \u201cthey are good listeners\u201d and have \u201cgood skills\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gossip at work<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Many people are calling for gossiping should be\u00a0<\/span>banned in the workplace<\/span><\/a>\u00a0.<\/span><\/p>\n

Popular stereotypes overemphasize negative judgments about gossip.\u00a0In fact, gossip can also be associated with\u00a0<\/span>compassion<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and empathy.\u00a0Gossip can be a way of expressing emotions, both positive and negative, a way of \u201cletting off steam\u201d and emotional reactions to perceived social injustices.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are times when gossip can also be an expression of concern about unethical matters or behavior.\u00a0For example, when there is\u00a0<\/span>a case<\/span><\/a>\u00a0about sexual harassment but no one speaks up, even though many already know about it.\u00a0When the topic of gossip is about bad practices in an organization, gossip should be\u00a0<\/span>an early warning signal<\/span><\/a>\u00a0that there is something to pay attention to, not ignore it.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m not saying that all gossip is good.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are times when gossip can damage\u00a0<\/span>the reputation<\/span><\/a>\u00a0of a person or an organization.\u00a0<\/span>Negative gossip<\/span><\/a>\u00a0is a form of bullying which, of course, is detrimental to others.\u00a0The decision to gossip or not is an ethical decision.<\/span><\/p>\n

New understanding<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The meaning of gossip has gradually changed since I first started researching and writing about it more than 25 years ago.\u00a0As written in my latest book \u201c\u00a0<\/span>Gossip, Organization and Work<\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u201d, gossip is now being taken seriously and has become a topic of research in\u00a0<\/span>communication<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and business sciences.<\/span><\/p>\n

Globally, the\u00a0<\/span>#MeToo<\/span><\/a>\u00a0movement has changed perceptions of gossip, such as the emergence of a \u201c\u00a0speak up<\/em><\/a><\/span> culture<\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u201d, and encouraged the creation of a psychologically safe environment to express fearlessly.\u00a0<\/span>Whistleblowing<\/span><\/em><\/a>\u00a0plays an important role in uncovering a case.\u00a0The focus on gossip has now shifted, from gossip as a form of trouble to gossip as a way of showing the \u201cproblem behind the problem\u201d \u2013 uncovering hidden structural problems.<\/span><\/p>\n

The COVID-19 pandemic has also made it clearer about the benefits of gossip.\u00a0In just overnight, the\u00a0<\/span>lockdown<\/span><\/em>\u00a0policies have closed the space for individuals to have casual conversations or gossip \u2013 chats in coffee shops, discussions before or after meetings.\u00a0Now that many people have returned to face-to-face activities, they will probably realize how important\u00a0<\/span>gossiping moments<\/span><\/a>\u00a0are for social bonds and relationships.<\/span><\/p>\n
