摘要：This study develops a nuanced framework to unpack the heterogeneous mechanisms of institutional intermediaries' efforts by aligning their bridging and buffering roles with the information and certification support they offer to clients. I further examine how these mechanisms explain firms' intermediary choices in response to government regulations. Using a novel dataset of power plants across China, I find that the theorized intermediation mechanisms and the ways in which firms assess them are...

摘要：How do new ventures gain legitimacy and attract critical resources? An increasing body of cultural entrepreneurship research has highlighted an optimal distinctiveness trade-off: new ventures need to be distinctive from their peers to stand out, yet distinctiveness counteracts the attainment of organizational legitimacy. In this paper, we challenge the underlying assumption that distinctiveness necessarily counteracts the attainment of legitimacy and propose that distinctiveness can become a s...

摘要：We extend the field's understanding of voice recognition by examining peer responses to voice. We investigate how employees can help peers get a status boost from voicing, while also raising their own status, by introducing the concept of amplification-public endorsement of another person's contribution, with attribution to that person. In two experiments and one field study, we find that amplification enhances status both for voicers and for those who amplify voice. Being amplified was equall...

Drawing on the revealing case of UNICEF Germany, we develop a process model of four phases of identity breach and reconstruction: build-up of identity tensions, revelation of identity breach, identity reconstruction, and enactment of the reconstructed identity. Our analysis explains how each phase was characterized by specific political strategies employed by the managerialist and idealist organi...

摘要：A common prediction in research on practice diffusion is a strength in numbers effect (i.e., that a growing number of past adopters will increase the number of future adopters). We advance and test a theoretical perspective to explain when and how practice prevalence may also generate a weakness in numbers effect. Specifically, to explain the diffusion of reverse mergers-a controversial practice that allows a private firm to go public by merging with a publicly listed shell company-we suggest ...
