摘要:Most scholarly work concludes that leader humor positively affects emotional outcomes for followers. However, two interrelated issues with past research make this view incomplete: (a) studies often conflate the act of expressing humor with the humor's effectiveness, and (b) existing research overlooks follower emotion regulation. In addressing these issues, we generate and test new theory that challenges the theoretical consensus, highlighting why and when leader humor expression has emotional...

摘要:The sudden onset of the COVID-19 pandemic ushered in an unprecedented era of public admiration for healthcare workers. Indeed, the title healthcare heroes became a ubiquitous moniker for healthcare providers of all stripes during the pandemic, a sentiment reflected in countless advertisements and banners. Paradoxically, these same healthcare heroes who were being publicly celebrated for their work in the fight against a novel coronavirus also faced stigma for their work amid the virus and infe...

摘要:Leadership research has assumed that leader group prototypicality enhances leadership influence during a leader's tenure. Other leadership research has also assumed that leaders, especially founders, can transform their leadership influence into a legacy that will survive death and departure from the organization and continue to impact followers. However, to understand the historically embedded nature of leadership influence, it is critical to unpack how specific leaders can become group proto...

摘要:Digital representations are ubiquitous in the workplace. Screen displays, forecasts, simulations, indicators, multidimensional models, figures, and images are increasingly central to work of all kinds. Representations are simultaneously transparent and opaque. They contain and reveal information about the organization. Yet, they conceal the computational work used to convert data about the physical world into abstract depictions. Computational opacity is consequential when representations beco...

摘要:Although failures and other experiences can capture attention and motivate organizations to learn and improve, this knowledge is not always retained over time, leaving some organizations dangerously prone to repeat the same mistakes repeatedly. We adapt theory on the attention-based view-and specifically on attentional engagement and vigilance-to shed new light on this process. While prior research has examined how competing events may draw attention away, our theory leads us to consider the c...

摘要:Prominent leaders regularly communicate with multiple markets around the world, butwe know little about the challenges that can arise when trying to effectively convey one'smessage in a global setting. In this paper, we develop a theory about how languageabstraction-a dominant strategy used to create common ground among diverseaudiences-can become problematic when used in a global environment where marketactors have divergent interests. Employing a multicountry event study, we analyze howthe s...

摘要:In male-dominated industries, organizations face considerable pressure to enhance women's representation in top leadership roles. Firms respond to this pressure by increasing gender diversity in senior positions, but often fail to achieve a critical mass of senior women at the top. This raises a key question: What impact does greater gender diversity at the top have on junior women's career opportunities? We develop an attention-based perspective on gender diversity and theorize that firms wit...

摘要:The current research proposes and tests a novel model explaining how job insecurity shapes well-being and has consequences for stratification and inequality. I draw on evolutionary life history theory, which proposes that growing up in a poorer versus wealthier environment impacts the sense of control people feel when exposed to threat in adulthood. I integrate this perspective with transactional stress theory to propose that job insecurity has a disproportionately negative effect on employees...
