摘要：This research explores the relationship between upward mobility and voice. We build hypotheses and find evidence that rather than being imprinted with a lower sense of efficacy, the upwardly mobile possess a high internal sense of efficacy and are likely to speak up. However, this positive pathway to voice for the upwardly mobile is offset by managers being more inclined to solicit voice from those who come from, and have remained in, higher social class positions. We test our hypotheses in th...

摘要：This study develops and tests a thesis derived from the law of requisite variety. We contend that the greater the experiential variety of a top management team, the more likely it is that the complexity and consistency of the firm's competitive repertoire will be calibrated to relevant external variety. In addition, for firms that achieve such calibrated repertoires, we expect that their financial performance will be superior to that of their peers. We then integrate these arguments and examin...

摘要：This paper focuses on investment decisions in nascent, seed-stage startups, where information is scarce and uncertainty is intense. Entrepreneurship literature has shown that investment is a function of the investor-startup pair; some studies have investigated startup characteristics, while others have focused on investor traits. We complement extant work by studying factors beyond the investor-startup pair; namely, incidental contextual factors such as changes in the physical environment. Dra...

摘要：Research on clusters has highlighted that some geographical areas display superior con-ditions to nurture concentrations of businesses locally. But why do certain industries??? despite ascribing their origin to specific locations???emerge away from their birthplace? We qualitatively investigate the influence that the town of Arco, Italy, and its periodic event ???RockMaster??? exerted on the emergence of the global sport climbing industry. We advance the concept of ???catalyzing places??? that...

摘要：Research on identity has provided key insights into the challenges individuals experience when their professional self-concept is disrupted. But there has been little consideration of individuals' sense of how they are viewed and defined by others-their construed image-also a key dimension of the professional self, one that is similarly compromised during such disruptive events. As a result, a widespread and theoretically rich phenomenon has received virtually no attention from scholars: const...

摘要：The question of what changes when women enter upper-echelons teams has long frustrated upper echelons and gender researchers. We build on the dynamic strategic renewal literature, combine it with upper echelons theory insights, and integrate knowledge about female executives' career strategies to theorize how and when female appointments into top management teams (TMTs) cause firms to change their approach to knowledge-related strategic renewal. In doing so, we reconcile the tension among exta...

摘要：How do senior managers of social mission-driven organizations build and sustain stakeholders??? emotional resonance with organizational identity beliefs over time in the face of repeated existential threats? This is an important question, given the dependence of many such organizations on external stakeholders who provide the resources necessary for survival. In this paper, we investigate the case of Solidum, a philanthropic organization devoted to poverty causes. Drawing on ethnographic, inte...

摘要：Through an inductive study of learning and development (L&D) executives in 69 multinational organizations, we build a theory of marginal leaders' conception of learning in organizations. We found that, as marginal leaders, L&D executives lacked an established template for their leader identity and had to navigate conflicting prescriptions for their function. The conception of learning-a process that involved finding a place in relation to significant counterparts, taking a stance on learning, ...

摘要：This paper explores how gender affects idea endorsement. We depart from the existing approach, which considers the effect of gender and other factors in isolation, and propose that endorsement depends on who suggests which ideas and in what ways. Drawing upon expectancy violations theory, we argue that positive counter-stereotypical voice-conceptualized as an idea that signals desirable traits stereotypically associated with the opposite gender-is more likely to be endorsed compared to positiv...

摘要：The prior literature on role congruity theory has revolved around demographic-based expectations, emphasizing role incongruity derived from a mismatch between prescriptive expectations of distinct roles. In this study, we depart from this traditional focus on between-role incongruity and explore an alternative source of role incongruity by examining how language can trigger the within-role incongruity of function-based expectations. Through an analysis of conference call transcripts and contra...
