摘要：Relying on institutional theory, agency rationale, and environmental management research, we hypothesize that, in polluting industries, good environmental performance increases CEO pay; that environmental governance mechanisms strengthen this linkage; that pollution prevention strategies affect executive compensation more than end-of-pipe pollution control; and that long-term pay increases pollution prevention success. Using longitudinal data on 469 U.S. firms, we found support for three hypot...

摘要：We examine how firms use the experiential learning of certain supply-side agents-technology solution providers-to overcome technological, organizational, and market-related knowledge hurdles to adopting innovations. Studying the electronic banking innovations of 4,293 credit unions that had relationships with 55 such providers during 2000-04, we found that their technical experiential diversity positively influences client innovation adoption, although benefits taper off at high levels of dive...

摘要：Little is known about the relationship between industry self-regulation organizations and the diffusion of policy content. Using the organic food industry as a context, this study examines the relationship between local and federated standards-based certification organizations and specific changes in U.S. state laws. The study's findings indicate that local structures correspond to greater legal innovation and elaboration, but less variation. Conversely, federated structures correspond to less...

摘要：An investigation of the conditions in which the recruitment of technologically distant scientists results in a significant technological repositioning reveals, on the basis of 2,643 biotechnology industry hiring events between 1973 and 1999, that recruitment is positively associated with repositioning. However, the more a firm's innovative productivity depends on one or a few star scientists, the less likely it is that recruitment affects repositioning. This likelihood increases at moderate le...

摘要：We consider when professional employees reciprocate perceived organizational treatment. In a large sample of physician employees, the association between perceived organizational support (POS) and employee work performance was (1) most positive when organizational identification was high and professional identification was low and (2) least positive when organizational identification was low and professional identification was high. We also found that the association between perceived psycholo...

摘要：We posit that a firm's resource configuration constitutes a critical context for various corporate governance mechanisms. Although innovative knowledge assets are generally a key determinant of a firm's economic performance, they also lead to greater information asymmetry among managers and owners and to the need to grant managers more discretion in making resource deployment decisions. This weakens the role of monitoring but increases the effectiveness of incentive mechanisms. Therefore, we h...

摘要：We study the relationship between sales assistant turnover and labor productivity in 325 stores of a large U.K. clothing retailer tracked over 1995-99. We find that the turnover-productivity relationship is contingent on type of work system. For a large group of part-timers, managed under a secondary work system, the relationship clearly has an inverted U-shape, but for the smaller group of full-timers, managed under a commitment system, the relationship is the conventional negative one. Impli...

摘要：Drawing from resource-based theory, we argue for a broader interpretation of human capital and demonstrate that unit service orientation contributes to unit effectiveness over time. Operationalizing unit service orientation as the unit-level (n = 1,255) aggregate of individual level (n = 114,198) service employee competencies, we modeled the data over three quarters and found a positive but decreasing relationship between the flow of unit service orientation and changes in unit effectiveness. ...

摘要：In a study of 83 teams from eight organizations, we examined team need for cognition-the tendency to engage in and enjoy effortful cognitive endeavors-as a moderator of the relationships between both age diversity and educational specialization diversity, and elaboration of task-relevant information, collective team identification and, ultimately, team performance. Age and educational diversity were positively related to these outcomes when team need for cognition was high, rather than low. Bo...

摘要：Prior studies of multimarket contact have investigated exploitation rather than exploration activities. We contrast effects of multimarket contact on entry and exit dynamics in these two settings and propose that, although in exploitation, firms seek to optimize multimarket contact based on mutual forbearance benefits, in exploration, firms instead seek to reduce uncertainties through mimetic entry and exit. Analyses of biopharmaceutical firms' competitive dynamics from 1989 to 1999 support ou...
