摘要：Firms consider multiple reference points simultaneously to assess performance; however, these referents may be inconsistent in signaling success or failure. Consequently, decision makers use one of two contrasting decision rules when responding to inconsistent feedback: problem solving or self-enhancement. So far, disparate theoretical logics and mixed evidence has limited our understanding about when decision makers shift their attention from positive to negative aspects of inconsistent feedb...

摘要：Many new ventures have to pivot-radically transform what they are about-because their original approach has failed. However, pivoting risks disrupting relationships with key stakeholders, such as user communities, who identify with ventures. Stakeholders may respond by withdrawing support and starving ventures of the resources needed to thrive. This can pose an existential threat to ventures, yet it is unclear how they might manage this problem. To explore this important phenomenon, we conduct...

摘要：We develop theory to explain how CEOs' observable personality traits influence market perceptions of firm risk and shareholder returns. Using a linguistic tool to measure nearly 3,000 CEOs' personality traits, we find that CEOs' observed levels of conscientiousness, neuroticism, and extraversion have important consequences for the perceived riskiness of the firm, as reflected in stock volatility. We also find that these traits alter the relationship between stock risk and returns. Whereas fina...

摘要：Drawing from the organizational identification literature, we theorize that founder CEO succession decisions are dependent on the strength of these CEOs' organizational identification with their firms. Our theoretical premise is that factors that decrease founder CEOs' organizational identification-namely, prior entrepreneurial experience and the number of cofounders-will positively affect their voluntary succession. Conversely, factors that increase founder CEOs' organizational identification...

摘要：Research has shown that family motivation exerts an energizing effect on employee performance. Challenging this, we argue that family motivation is a double-edged sword with both an energizing and a debilitating effect on employee performance, depending on the performance criterion in question. Specifically, drawing upon self-determination theory and the hard work versus smart work framework, we hypothesize that family motivation is positively related to employee productivity via enhanced work...

摘要：In this study, we examine new CEOs' social influence behaviors in leadership transition periods. Taking charge is challenging for new CEOs, particularly when (a) predecessor CEOs stay on as board chairs, or (b) the stock market reacts negatively to new CEO appointments. We propose that new CEOs' social influence behaviors may alter the adverse impacts of these factors on their early survival prospects. We examine two types of social influence behaviors displayed by new CEOs: (1) ingratiation t...

摘要：This study builds theory on organizational change through a qualitative study investigating how a small state-run factory in China transformed into a global leader in power equipment manufacturing. Drawing on cross-level longitudinal data from the company's founding in 1966 to 2016, we unpack a process of organizational change that unfolded during China's transition away from a centrally planned economy. Our findings draw attention to the role of values work in facilitating and mitigating the ...

摘要：We draw upon relational demography and social identity perspectives to argue that working with teammates who are dissimilar in pay grade can help individual team members reduce social uncertainty in their work relationships within the team, subsequently influencing their identification with the team, performance, and turnover intention. This effect is more pronounced for team members in a lower pay grade because they are more sensitive to social influence owing to their lower status in the tea...

摘要：Scholars, regulators, and practitioners have long struggled with challenges emanating from the separation of ownership and control of modern corporations. Agency theory typically prescribes the use of stock options, or other outcome-based contractual arrangements, to overcome the critical issue of information asymmetry. We theorize that this arrangement, which leaves information asymmetry in place, provides CEOs an informational advantage that can be used, via impression management techniques,...

摘要：In this study, we track long-term patterns of continuity and change in the organizational identities of four nonprofits. Our findings reveal two trajectories, explained by the different means-ends structure of identity claims at each organization's founding and the different pattern of identity work that they subsequently carry out. Our observations suggest that not all the attributes members use to make and give sense of who we are as an organization are equally consequential for members' dec...
