摘要:It is widely assumed that CEOs shape how people view firms, but the question of how these leaders influence corporate reputations has received little theoretical or empirical attention. This study addresses two core questions in this vein: to what degree do leaders really matter for firm reputation, and which leaders affect their firm's reputation? We develop theory to explain how and why leaders should enter into evaluations of the firms that they lead. Specifically, we propose that CEOs' eff...

摘要:We propose and test a multilevel model that positions trait curiosity as a key individual difference during the revision and evaluation stages of the creative process. Using a sample of T-shirt designers, their creative drafts, and the questions and comments that feedback seekers and providers posted to an online workshop, we find curiosity acts as a bridge connecting creative workers with their feedback providers in novel ways. We advance pliable guidance as a theoretical umbrella to describe...

摘要:Around the world, potentially effective responses to serious social problems are left untried because those responses are politically, culturally, or morally problematic in affected communities. I describe the process through which communities import such practices as high-stakes institutional translation. Drawing on a study of NorthAmerica's first supervised injection site for users of illegal drugs, I propose a process model of high-stakes institutional translation that involves a triggering...

摘要:This paper examines organizational learning in a target setting. Organizations commonly set targets-explicit and quantitative reference points-for their operational units that reflect top management aspirations for these units. Targets are commonly the outcome of a subjective process where supervisors combine their explicit and tacit knowledge to set performance expectations for their units. Using a proprietary database from a large European travel company during a period of rapid expansion, w...

摘要:Prior research into the effects of cultural differences between multinational enterprises' (MNEs') home and host countries on expatriate staffing decisions in foreign subsidiaries has produced a large number of conflicting findings. We address some of these conflicting findings and aim to advance theory in two ways. First, we draw on transaction cost economics to explain why and how the effects of cultural distance on the proportion of expatriate parent-country nationals form a curvilinear rel...

摘要:When employees feel that their values do not match those of the organization, they often respond by pretending to fit in. We examine how leader integrity influences the tendency to create facades of conformity, proposing that employees will actually fake more when leaders are principled. In a laboratory experiment (Study 1), undergraduate students whose values ostensibly differed from those of other discussion group members and the university administration created more facades when they perce...

摘要:Based on an in-depth historical study of how Thomas Cook's travel agency moved from stigmatization to legitimacy among the elite of Victorian Britain, we develop a model of organizational destigmatization. We find that audiences stigmatize an organization because they fear that it threatens a particular moral order, which leads them to mount sustained attacks designed to weaken or eradicate the organization. Our model suggests that an organization that experiences this form of profound disappr...

摘要:Across multiple studies, we examine how identity conflict and enhancement within people affect performance in tasks that involve interactions between people. We also examine two mechanisms: role-immersion, operationalized as intrinsic motivation, and role-taking, operationalized as perspective-taking. In Study 1, a longitudinal field study of customer service representatives (n = 763) who simultaneously identify with multiple brands they represent to customers, we examine the relationships bet...

摘要:Information disclosure programs (IDPs) are an increasingly common aspect of organizational existence as stakeholders seek to shape organizations' actions by measuring and revealing information regarding performance in various domains. In this manuscript, we extend research on how organizations respond to IDPs in three ways. First, we extend theorizing regarding institutional waves to explain why organizations' rate of change on disclosed metrics are likely to follow a tapering pattern such tha...
