摘要：The corporate governance literature on potential remedies for the agency problem has focused largely on external control mechanisms, especially board independence. We instead consider how an internal, psychological factor-CEO organizational identification-may influence the extent to which firms incur agency costs, including those entailed by the decoupling of CEO pay and perquisites from firm performance. Our theory and findings explain why a CEO with high organizational identification may avo...

摘要：Extraversion predicts leadership emergence and effectiveness, but do groups perform more effectively under extraverted leadership? Drawing on dominance complementarity theory, we propose that although extraverted leadership enhances group performance when employees are passive, this effect reverses when employees are proactive, because extraverted leaders are less receptive to proactivity. In Study 1, pizza stores with leaders rated high (low) in extraversion achieved higher profits when emplo...

摘要：Prior research shows that directors generally lose some, but not all, of their board seats following their association with financial fraud. This study investigates why some boards are more likely than others to dismiss a reputationally compromised colleague. Using resource dependence theory, we propose that a board's formal interest in securing resources and support from external audiences governs these decisions. We tested our hypotheses using data on the employment fate of directors associa...

摘要：To understand how firms facing technological discontinuities utilize knowledge from alliance portfolios, we unpack absorptive capacity into latitudinal and longitudinal components, corresponding to use of diverse and distant knowledge, respectively. We find that a moderate burden on firms' latitudinal absorptive capacity, corresponding to medium diversity in their portfolios, contributes to optimal knowledge utilization. Simultaneously increasing the demand on firms' longitudinal absorptive ca...

摘要：Research on business groups-legally independent firms tied together in various formal and informal ways-is accelerating. Through meta-analytical techniques employed on a database of 141 studies covering 28 different countries, we synthesize this research and extend it by testing several new hypotheses. We find that affiliation diminishes firm performance in general, but also that affiliates are comparatively better off in contexts with underdeveloped financial and labor market institutions. We...

摘要：This study examines how team temporal diversity-variation in members' time urgency, pacing style, and time perspective-can be effectively managed to maximize team performance. Results from 71 teams in a business process outsourcing firm in India reveal that team temporal leadership moderated the relationships between time urgency diversity and team performance and between pacing style diversity and team performance. Specifically, the influence of time urgency and pacing style diversity on team...

摘要：In four studies, we examine implicit voice theories-taken-for-granted beliefs about when and why speaking up at work is risky or inappropriate. In Study 1, interview data from a large corporation suggest that fine-grained implicit theories underlie reluctance to voice even pro-organizational suggestions. Study 2 survey data address the generalizability of the implicit theories identified in Study 1. Studies 3 and 4 develop survey measures for five such theories, establishing the measures' disc...
