摘要:We explore the structure and content of developmental networks depicted in 62 National Baseball Hall of Fame induction speeches to identify which developers and what support mattered most to inductees' career achievement. Our analysis illustrates two new support subfunctions (freedom and opportunity for skill development and inspiration and motivation) and shows that first-ballot inductees had larger, more diverse developmental networks featuring greater multiplexity and more single-function t...

摘要:The embeddedness of interfirm relationships in a social structure can engender order in new tie formation, but competitive incentives may undermine the order that firms seek to achieve and lead to tie dissolution. We examine how relational embeddedness (history of interactions), positional embeddedness (network centrality), and structural embeddedness (common partners) influence tie stability, focusing on unplanned joint venture dissolution. Prior work suggests that relational embeddedness fac...

摘要:This study advances understanding of network dynamics by applying matching theory to examine entrepreneurs' intentions to add new ties to their personal networks. I propose that task complementarity and social similarity are important matching criteria that influence entrepreneurs' interpersonal tie formation intentions and test whether good matches increase the likelihood of the initiation of economic exchange ties. A novel research design using data from the business cards of new people met ...

摘要:We augment transaction cost economics with social cognitive psychology to show that contract framing is an important element in minimizing issues in focal exchanges and managing buyer-supplier relationships. We find that exchange partners use promotion-framed extendibility clauses to address contract duration in the presence of greater physical distance, measurement difficulty, prior relationships in other businesses, and reusable technology. Our results suggest that contracts not only protect...

摘要:Although many scholars believe that intrinsic motivation fuels creativity, research has returned equivocal results. Drawing on motivated information processing theory, we propose that the relationship between intrinsic motivation and creativity is enhanced by other-focused psychological processes. Perspective taking, as generated by prosocial motivation, encourages employees to develop ideas that are useful as well as novel. In three studies, using both field and lab data, we found that prosoc...

摘要:Through a meta-analysis of 120 independent samples reported in 111 studies, we test the predictions of internalization theory in the context of the multinationality-performance relationship. Findings indicate that multinationality provides an efficient organizational form that enables firms to transfer their firm-specific assets to generate higher returns in international markets. In addition, the results delineate the conditions under which firm-specific assets have the strongest impact on th...

摘要:Using experience-sampling methodology, we examined within-individual relationships among emotional labor, negative and positive affective states, and work withdrawal, as well as the moderating role of gender. Fifty-eight bus drivers completed two daily surveys over a two-week period, producing 415 matched surveys. Results of hierarchical linear models revealed that affective states worsened when employees engaged in surface acting but improved when they engaged in deep acting. Surface acting w...

摘要:This study integrates resource-based and institutional theory perspectives to examine relationships between the relatedness of chemicals used within the home and target industries of a potential diversifier, target industry regulatory sanctions, and the likelihood of diversification. First, we provide evidence that the level of such chemical relatedness between a home and a target industry increases the likelihood of diversification. Second, we find that the level of target industry regulatory...

摘要:This study offers a new theoretical perspective on the unique nature and function of job satisfaction change, or systematic improvement or decline in job satisfaction over time. Using four diverse samples, we show that differences in the extent to which job satisfaction systematically improves or declines account for change in employees' turnover intentions left unexplained by absolute (average) levels of job satisfaction. Further, we show that future-oriented work expectations partially media...
