摘要:We examine changes in the effectiveness of local civic action in relation to changes over time in racial diversity and income inequality. Local civic action comprises situations in which community members come together-typically with support from local organizations-to address common issues. The collective orientation of local civic action makes it sensitive to changes in local social conditions. As these changes unfold, local organizations become differentially able to support civic action. H...

摘要:I explore here how trainees in a community of practice learn new techniques and technologies when approved practices for learning are insufficient. I do so through two studies: a two-year, five-sited, comparative ethnographic study of learning in robotic and traditional surgical practice, and a blinded interview-based study of surgical learning practices at 13 top-tier teaching hospitals around the U.S. I found that learning surgery through increasing participation using approved methods worke...

摘要:While scholars have shown that well-connected applicants are advantaged in selection processes, less understood is whether such applicants produce important returns to the organization when key decision makers favor them. We begin to address this gap by investigating whether and why application endorsements an informal practice whereby certain individuals (i.e., endorsers) advocate for particular applicants affect organizational selection during the screening of applicants. Through the analysi...

摘要:Building on an inductive, qualitative study of independent workers-people not affiliated with an organization or established profession-this paper develops a theory about the management of precarious and personalized work identities. We find that in the absence of organizational or professional membership, workers experience stark emotional tensions encompassing both the anxiety and fulfillment of working in precarious and personal conditions. Lacking the holding environment provided by an org...

摘要:Acquisitions can dramatically reshape interorganizational networks by combining previously separate nodes and allowing the acquirer to inherit the target's ties, potentially creating network synergy. Network synergy is the extent to which combining an acquirer's and a target's networks through node collapse results in a more favorable structural position for the combined firm as the acquirer gains control of the target's existing ties. We hypothesize that the likelihood of selecting a target i...

摘要:Organizations increasingly grapple with hybridity-the combination of identities, forms, logics, or other core elements that would conventionally not go together. Drawing on in-depth longitudinal data from the first ten years of a successful social enterprise-Digital Divide Data, founded in Cambodia-we induce an empirically grounded model of sustaining hybridity over time through structured flexibility: the interaction of stable organizational features and adaptive enactment processes. We ident...
