摘要：Much research has shown that firms' ego network configurations-i.e., structural holes or network closure-help them achieve superior innovation outcomes. However, little is known about how the stability of the firm's ego-network composition affects the firm's innovation. In this paper, we investigate the outcomes of ego-network stability in an alliance context, arguing that stability actually reduces innovation for the focal firm. We further investigate two contingencies-namely, the structural ...

摘要：This study offers a theory-generating examination of the social construction processes through which members regularly exposed to psychological distress navigate paradoxical demands to both extend and protect the self in their work with others. A qualitative study of a child welfare agency found that members organized themselves to avoid the conscious experience of psychological distress. Distress organizing involved, first, the use of collective avoidance mechanisms that constrained the time,...

摘要：When organizations crowdsource ideas, they select only a small share of the ideas that contributors submit for implementation. If a contributor submits an idea to an organization for the first time (i.e., is a newcomer), and the organization does not select the idea, this may negatively affect the newcomer's relationship with the organization and willingness to submit ideas to the organization in future. We suggest that organizations can increase newcomers' willingness to submit further ideas ...

摘要：Although contracts certainly facilitate exchange, scholars have debated whether contracts and trust are complements or substitutes. Recent theoretical work has suggested that contract frames influence the relationship between contracts and trust. We test and extend this theorizing by examining the effects of prevention and promotion contract frames on trust and some potential cognitive and emotional mechanisms responsible for them. We also explore how unexpected negative events affect trust de...

摘要：Extant research on the antecedents of cultures has posited that cultures result from the internal and external changes experienced by the group (the functionality perspective) and from a group leader's personal values and personality traits (the leader-trait perspective). The current study proposes another important but neglected antecedent of cultures: a leader's past cultural experience. Specifically, we theorize that group leaders enact cultures based on their past cultural experiences, ess...

摘要：Does displaying positive emotions (e.g., joy) during a funding pitch help an entrepreneur gain more financial support? Past research has approached this question mostly by treating emotional displays as static and focusing on the overall or average levels of displayed emotions. However, emotional displays are temporally dynamic and more salient in some moments or phases than others. Drawing from gestalt characteristics and event system theories, we take a dynamic approach to examine the peak m...

摘要：The literature on corporate governance indicates that, by engaging in strategy-related activities, boards of directors can help firms adapt to environmental discontinuities. So far, however, studies shed limited light on board-internal challenges and dynamics in such difficult times, thus providing few insights into the conditions under which boards may contribute to organizational inertia. We use a comparative case study of 10 major Swiss electric utility companies during the energy transitio...

摘要：Emergent leadership-the ascription of informal leadership responsibilities among team members-is a dynamic phenomenon that comes into place through social interactions. Yet, theory remains sparse about the importance of verbal behaviors for emergent leadership in self-managed teams over a team's lifecycle. Adopting a functional perspective on leadership, we develop a temporal account that links changes in task-, change-, and relations-oriented communication to emergent leadership in early, mid...

摘要：Despite wide consensus that leader vision is a key vehicle for leaders to motivate followers to support organizational change, it remains far from clear what characterizes an effective vision of change. Research on organizational change that has used a social identity perspective has asserted that one important reason why followers resist change is because change may pose a threat to their subjective sense of continuity of organizational identity. Accordingly, we hypothesize that leaders that ...

摘要：We propose a conceptual framework for expanding the scope of future research on the role of gender in career negotiations. Extant research on gender in career negotiations emphasizes women's disadvantages relative to men in compensation negotiations. We present an inductive study of what and how women negotiate for career advancement and the attainment of leadership positions in organizations, drawing on data from diverse samples of negotiation accounts by senior executive, mid-level, and earl...
