摘要:Are firms led by liberal versus conservative CEOs more likely to engage in corporate misconduct? This study unearths the ideological bases of misconduct by distinguishing the values and identity perspectives of political ideology. Rather than attributing misconduct to liberal or conservative values, we introduce and examine CEO political partisanship-that is, the strength of a CEO's identification with political and ideological groups. We hypothesize and find robust evidence for a positive rel...

摘要:One of the most significant challenges of pursuing distant-future goals is sustaining a course of action toward a future with solutions that do not yet exist. We address this challenge in a real-time study of a sustainability workstream's collective activities to develop a sustainability strategy toward a net-zero carbon future. We observed how the participants in the core team engaged in an iterative three-phase process that we call path enactment. Path enactment evolved from (a) imagining ho...

摘要:Building on a longitudinal ethnography of a firm whose leaders attempted to organize collaboratively to remedy a drop in performance, this paper develops a theory of defensive organizing-a process that diffuses, deflects, and displaces overwhelming anxiety, and bolsters the power of established leaders. A systems psychodynamic approach helped us theorize how leaders' conscious intent to collaborate served as a cover for an unconscious effort to stave off anxiety that they could not share and p...

摘要:Experiences of group engagement have a significant impact on members' performance and satisfaction with work. In temporally uncertain settings, however, unpredictable transitions between idle and busy periods disrupt engagement. Through an ethnographic study of storm chasing teams in Tornado Alley, we investigate how groups foster engagement under uncertainty. We found that while efficient coordination helped teams get to storms, it could frustrate members' engagement with tasks across unpredi...

摘要:Research suggests that changes in where and how employees work may make it difficult to build meaningful coworker relationships. These same changes, however, may provide a window into their coworkers' nonwork lives-offering vivid and seemingly unintended insights into how their coworkers parent, what their hobbies are, and what their homes look like. In this way, the changing nature of work provides a potential paradox: it can simultaneously increase social distance between coworkers while pot...

摘要:Strong ownership of the product development process, while facilitating the generation of new products, can exacerbate escalating commitment and impede timely termination. We examine how managers, with foresight, use buy vs. make decisions to create psychological and organizational distance from a product and preempt escalating commitment. Using detailed product-level data from the fashion industry and its unique features, we show that managers contract manufacture risky products even when the...

摘要:Drawing on video recordings, interviews, and first-hand observations of a strategic project team at an electronic bank, we explore the role of atmosphere in collective sense-making. By analyzing collective entanglements of bodily tonality and interaction, we show how distinctive atmospheres in strategy-making workshops are closely associated with different sensemaking styles that shape not only how but also what sense is constructed. Our findings show that in group settings, participants' imma...
