摘要：We reexamine the assumptions of current theory to update and extend the concept of task complexity to tasks that include multiple actors at any level of analysis. Tasks can be modeled as networks of required actions and information cues carried out or processed by particular actors. Counting pathways in the task network provides an index of task complexity that incorporates insights from organization research but is more consistent with contemporary complexity science than prior approaches and...

摘要：We examine how streams of communication enable the reproduction and change of the underlying principles that constitute institutional logics. While past research has shown that communication provides instantiations of institutional logics, the link between specific instances of communication and the emergence of institutional logics has not been explicitly shown. To remedy this gap, we propose that collections of communicative events distributed throughout organizations and institutional field...

摘要：We examine an intriguing paradox regarding whether interdependencies in an organization's activity system enable or hinder strategic renewal the incremental process through which an organization continuously adapts to the environment and explores opportunities to invoke change in its activity choices and outputs. One research stream, the inertial view, argues that the pervasiveness of interdependencies among activities increases inertia, which inhibits strategic renewal. Another research strea...

摘要：As a living association of scholars from across the globe, the Academy of Management changes over time. My experience supports this, given that the Academy is quite different today than it was in 1976 when I attended my first annual meeting. Herein I argue that the challenges the Academy is now facing challenges that will bring about additional change arise primarily from increasing expectations of us as scholars as we complete our work, the increased scrutiny from stakeholders that affects ou...

摘要：While the study of lying within organizations typically has focused on lies told for rational-instrumental purposes (such as lying for economic gain within negotiations), we argue that lying is a relatively common social-functional behavior embedded within ongoing workplace relationships. Drawing from social identity theory, we develop a theory of lying as a socially motivated behavioral response to identity threats at the personal, relational, or collective levels of identity in organizationa...

摘要：We extend research on social evaluations and crisis management by explicating the sociocognitive mechanisms that influence how an organization and its external evaluators perceive and respond to the onset of a crisis. Specifically, we highlight the role of social approval-evaluators' general affinity toward an organization-not only as a critical outcome of crisis management but also as an important antecedent. We first identify the distinct aspects of social approval and explain why it is an i...

摘要：Despite its emancipatory ambitions and its rich portraits of agency, the institutional work literature has been criticized for its limited engagement with questions of normative social purpose. Synthesizing the literature on institutional work and on positive organizational scholarship, in this article I define positive institutional work as the creation or maintenance of institutional patterns that express mutually constitutive experiential and social goods. This synthesis expands existing th...
