摘要:This study addresses an important but neglected topic by investigating the social judgment processes that experts (studio executives and producers in Hollywood) use to assess the creative potential of unknown others (relatively unknown screenwriters) during pitch meetings in which screenwriters attempt to sell their ideas. The findings suggest a dual-process social judgment model. In one process, person categorization, the experts used behavioral and physical cues to match pitchers with seven ...

摘要:This study introduces the principles of social contagion and institutional theory to human resource management by examining the top management team (TMT) hiring patterns of Fortune 500 firms. Results provide some initial but promising evidence that social environmental factors should be incorporated into human resource management theory. Specifically, results indicate that firms hired TMT members from sources with which they shared interfirm network ties and that TMT hiring patterns were shape...

摘要:This study contrasts community violence and an organization's procedural justice climate (or lack thereof) as explanations for employee-instigated workplace aggression in the geographically dispersed plants of a nationwide organization. The findings showed that violent crime rates in the community where a plant resided predicted workplace aggression in that plant, whereas the plant's procedural justice climate did not.

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: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.

摘要:In this study, we used Karasek's demand-control-support model to determine whether either job control or job social support or both can reduce signs of fatigue and simultaneously enhance intrinsic motivation among employees facing high job demands. Survey data on 555 nurses suggest that job control in particular reduces fatigue in highly demanding jobs, whereas high levels of instrumental support produce elevated levels of intrinsic motivation, regardless of the level of job control and job. d...

摘要:In an empirical examination of inequity in interorganizational relationships, we found similarities and differences in Dutch and U.S. automobile dealers' reactions to inequity in their relationships with their automobile suppliers. As predicted by equity theory, both positive and negative inequity have detrimental effects on the reactions of Dutch firms. In contrast, U.S. firms do not react negatively to positive inequity; only negative inequity has deleterious effects.

摘要:Data from high-technology firms in Hong Kong were used to investigate whether the outcomes of problem-solving processes (solutions found, problem-solving speed, and solution quality) mediated the effects of centrifugal forces (decentralization, free flow of information, and reach) and centripetal forces (connectedness, temporal pacing, project leader expertise, and superordinate goal) on product development performance (development speed and product quality). Centrifugal and centripetal forces...
