摘要:To date, no field research has examined the effects of overconfidence on ill-structured decisions made by managers, such as product introductions. We explored this gap in the literature and found, in a study of high-technology firms, that overconfidence was positively related to the degree to which product introductions were pioneering (risky). Further, managers introducing pioneering products were more apt to express extreme certainty about achieving success, but these products were less like...

摘要:We model the governance strategies adopted by suppliers to safeguard relationship-specific investments in asymmetric interorganizational relationships using two dimensions: quasi integration and joint decision making. Data from a field study of 211 supplier-retailer relationships support the research model. Domain knowledge specificity arising from relationship-specific intellectual capital investments emerges as the most influential determinant of governance. The results provide preliminary b...

摘要:The knowledge-based theory of the firm suggests that, as knowledge intensity increases, knowledge management concerns, not opportunism, should increasingly drive organizational boundary decisions. Therefore, as R&D intensity increases, knowledge-based theory should gain explanatory power over transaction cost economics, in which opportunism is the primary driver. However, this study shows problems of opportunism increasing with R&D intensity. For example, as R&D intensity increased, managers a...

摘要:We developed and tested a model in which supervisors' procedural justice perceptions lead to supervisors' organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), supervisors' OCB leads to subordinates' procedural justice perceptions, and in turn, subordinates' procedural justice perceptions directly influence subordinates' OCB. Using data collected from 373 National Guard members and their military supervisors, we found support for the mediation framework as well as for the prediction that individuals' OCB...

摘要:We classified newly chosen CEOs' origins into three categories: intrafirm, intraindustry, and outside-industry, and examined their firm-level and industry-level antecedents. In a sample of 220 CEO successions between 1993 and 1998, intrafirm succession was positively associated with the presence of an heir apparent and the number of nonheir inside directors. Intraindustry succession was positively associated with strategic homogeneity among industry firms and a. focal firm's strategic conformi...

摘要:In this study, a sample of group-affiliated public firms in Korea was used to examine simultaneous causality between ownership structure and performance. The results show that performance determines ownership structure but not vice versa and provide strong evidence that controlling shareholders use insider information to take direct and indirect equity stakes in profitable or promising firms and transfer profits to affiliates through intragroup trade. These findings highlight the importance of...

摘要:A questionnaire study of 129 members of 20 multidisciplinary project teams examined the relationship between informational dissimilarity and both team identification and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) for individuals working under different interdependence configurations. Results revealed that under congruent low-low and high-high combinations of task and goal interdependence, informational dissimilarity was unrelated to team identification and OCB. By contrast, under incongruent lo...

摘要:Data collected from 161 employees of a large firm suggest that perceived generosity is positively related to individual social status, but maintaining an equitable balance is positively related to individual productivity. Employees may address this dilemma by increasing how often they exchange favors rather than by seeking exchange equity. Frequent favor exchange was positively related to both status and productivity and strengthened the generosity-status and the balance-productivity relations...

摘要:We use social capital theory to explain how human and social capital affect a venture's ability to accumulate financial capital during its growth stages (before an initial public offering) and its performance during the two-year period after going public. Consistent with theory, data drawn from a sample of 275 ventures that went public indicate that social capital leverages the productivity of a venture's resource base and provides the venture with a durable source of competitive advantage.
