摘要：In this paper, we examine how field settlements are formed over time by zooming in on the actions and reactions of field incumbents as they seek to make sense of and collectively respond to external pressures for change in their field. We illustrate this process through an in-depth case study of the staff and members of an international industry association as they attempted to deal with pressures to change current industry practices relating to water and climate change. Specifically, we show ...

摘要：The literature on evolution of organizational forms has remained largely silent on where the first organizational instance of a new form comes from, treating it as either a given or an outcome of random variation. We challenge this agnostic assumption by putting the first organizational founding into a specific spatiotemporal context and revealing the role of provisional spaces , defined as small-scale, easily accessible settings where market pioneers temporarily experiment with applications o...

摘要：The infusion of algorithms into organizational fields-accelerated by advances in artificial intelligence-can have disruptive effects that trigger defensive responses. One important response involves establishing a boundary around an algorithm to delimit its interactions with its environment-in engineering terms, constructing an envelope. Yet, we know little about the process through which such envelopes are constructed. We address this issue by exploring how institutional custodians construct ...

摘要：The dominant perspective used to understand racial bias in leader selection decisions is leader categorization theory (LCT). Received wisdom is twofold: evaluators prefer White leaders because they possess prototypical leader traits; however, during periods of decline, evaluators prefer racial minority leaders because their stereotypical traits (e.g., warmth) position them to galvanize followers. We argue that whereas LCT is useful for explaining racial bias in nonsuccession contexts, it is in...

摘要：How does the viability of a product category shift over time? Studies abound on how categories emerge and become established, or fall out of use. Yet, extant research has often examined the evolution of categories one at a time, leaving open the question of how related categories affect a focal category's viability. In contrast, we consider both intraand inter-category dynamics. Viewing categories as continuously shaped by actors' efforts to position their products, we argue that these efforts...

摘要：Organizations increasingly operate in diverse languages to serve external stakeholders, yet often adopt monolingual practices for internal work processes. As language is both a skill and a source of identity, low-status language speakers may experience identity-based exclusion in such organizations, regardless of their common corporate language skills. We thusexplore how linguistic inclusiveness can emerge among tensions between the demands formultilingual services and the need for a lingua fr...

摘要：We explore the relationship between workers'perceptions of firm-specific human capi-tal (FSHC) and turnover. The belief that actual FSHC constrains mobility undergirds itscritical role in resource-based theory. However, this rests on a strong assumption ofinformation efficiency that market actors correctly assess how specific an individual'sskills are, and price it appropriately. Emerging theoretical viewpoints dispute this,pointing out labor market imperfections and substantial difficulty in ...

摘要：Despite their prevalence, diversity initiatives do not necessarily motivate employees to facilitate diversity goals. We advance understanding of diversity rhetoric-defined as how leaders talk about diversity and its effects-as a tool for motivating employees to foster diversity and inclusion. Prior work has investigated rhetoric that emphasizes diversity in organizations is necessarily beneficial (value-in-diversity rhetoric), which is puzzling given the reality that diversity can have positiv...

摘要：Economic crises have profound effects on societies, motivating many individuals to launch their own firms in order to make a living. Although these firms created out of necessity possess few resources besides their founder's human capital, the role that this critical endowment plays in establishing a successful firm during a crisis is unclear, as existing knowledge offers diverging predictions about the value of general and specific human capital. We argue that this debate remains unresolved b...

摘要：Hybrid organizations must sustainably attend to multiple goals embedded in different institutional spheres. Past research has highlighted the value for hybrids in recruiting board members representing different logics to avoid attentional drifts; yet, diverse boards have also been prone to conflicts that occasion attentional lapses, thereby jeopardizing these organizations ' pursuit of multiple goals. We draw on a longitudinal comparative case study of five work integration social enterprises ...
