摘要:We investigate how activated team faultlines represent an informal sensemaking structure through which teammates interpret their social reality. Constructed from intersubgroup comparisons, activated team faultlines likely result in ambiguous or illegitimate status perceptions. Thus, activated faultlines threaten team justice climate, which drives status conflict, impairing team performance. We explore the effects of team structure clarity in providing certainty or legitimacy around status and ...

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:This study explores the cost of legitimacy management in the context of corporate giving. Specifically, how much does an organization spend in order to manage external legitimacy? We view corporate giving as a means by which firms may seek external legitimacy, and propose that, in response to evaluations of external audiences, organizations strategically manage such costs under a tension between legitimacy and efficiency concerns. We examine this argument by developing an institutional theory ...

摘要:The vast majority of theory and research to date on transformational leadership has focused on how transformational leader behaviors influence followers, portraying those behaviors as unequivocally beneficial. We pivot from this predominant focus to a focus on the detriments of transformational leader behaviors for leaders themselves. Drawing from conservation of resources theory, we propose that although transformational leader behaviors produce gains for both leaders and followers, those beh...

摘要:A growing body of research on how organizations engage with their histories has shown that organizational members revisit history in the light of present-day concerns to inspire or legitimize future courses of action. Studies of the processes through which organizational history is brought to bear on the present and future, however, remain rare. To uncover the processes and practices through which organizational members systematically engage with history, we investigate uses of material memory...

摘要:Researchers have long been interested in understanding the motives behind CEOs' actions. On the one hand, CEOs may pursue strategic actions because they are confident they will enhance firm value. Alternatively, CEOs may take actions even when they have low confidence in the value of those actions, perhaps driven by self-interest or social pressures. Although research suggests that CEO option exercises following an acquisition announcement are an ex post behavioral outcome of low CEO confidenc...

摘要:This study examines the importance of social perception of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and irresponsibility (CSI). Drawing from social psychology literature on stereotypes, we argue that two fundamental dimensions of social perception-warmth and competence-help explain the underlying processes and conditions under which CSR leads to specific outcomes. We propose that firms engaging in CSR are perceived as higher in warmth and, by default, competence; moreover, different perceptions o...

摘要:Grasping the true value of ideas is essential for corporate innovation success. When it comes to forecasting the value of one's own innovation ideas, however, people may err systematically. In this paper, we shed light on this ideator's bias, and examine when and why certain ideas are more prone to biased evaluations. Specifically, we argue that biased idea evaluations depend on the self-efficacy that ideators may derive from their specific role and social identity in the firm when generating ...

摘要:The paper proposes a systemic theory of rivalry that addresses a key limitation of past research by articulating how rivalry spreads across levels of analysis and between social domains. Shifting the perspective from what rivalry does to what it prevents from doing, we conceptualize rivalry as a system of relational constraints that extends beyond the level of direct rivals. Using qualitative and quantitative data on the mobility of jockeys in the Palio di Siena (1743-2011), the famous horse r...

摘要:The theoretical puzzle of how organizations deal with contradicting logics has been extensively investigated during the past two decades. This stream of research has focused on the cognitive, but has overlooked emotions and power, which are fundamental to the lived experience of logics, and to their constitution. Drawing on a 15-month ethnography of Together, a Jewish-Palestinian organization in a mixed city in Israel, we explore how the organization succeeds in challenging societal dominant n...
