摘要:In this paper we organize research on work-related identities into a four-perspective typology that captures different ways identities can be positive. Each perspective on positive identity virtue, evaluative, developmental, and structural highlights a different source of positivity and opens new avenues for theorizing about identity construction. We use these four perspectives to develop propositions about how different forms of positive work-related identity construction can strengthen emplo...

摘要:Drawing on both Job Demands-Resources theory and contagion theory, we conceptualize cognitive. affective, and conative influences on expatriate work role and family role performance. We clarify expatriate adjustment by expanding the concept to capture family role adjustment and by mapping relationships among the forms of adjustment. We also highlight the mediating role of engagement for understanding the influence of adjustment on role performance, and we consider spillover across work and fam...

摘要:I develop a theory of the distinctive characteristics of professional service firms and their organizational implications. I identify three distinctive characteristics-knowledge intensity, low capital intensity, and a professionalized workforce-with which I propose a taxonomy of four types of knowledge-intensive firms whose varying degrees of professional service intensity generate different organizational outcomes. The analysis highlights the danger of conflating the implications of professio...

摘要:We integrate concepts from research on emotion and memory to show how critical exchanges or anchoring events can suddenly and durably change the rules for organizational relationships, leading them to reach nonreciprocal forms like altruism or competition. We define these events and discuss the likelihood of their occurring as a function of the current state of the relationship, the time in that state of the relationship, and the social context in which the event takes place.

摘要:Competition between modernism and postmodernism has not been fruitful, and management researchers are divided in their preference, thereby undermining the legitimacy of truth claims in the field as a whole. Drawing on Ashby's Law of Requisite Variety, on complexity science, and in particular on power-law-distributed phenomena, we show how the order-seeking regime of the modernists and the richness-seeking regime of the postmodernists draw on different ontological assumptions that can be integr...

摘要:To survive and prosper, organizations must reconcile stability, reliability, and exploitation with change, innovation, and exploration. These imperatives and the mechanisms that support them are generally seen as incompatible and mutually exclusive. I present an alternative: a duality view in which stability and change are fundamentally interdependent contradictory but also mutually enabling. This view revisits several enduring ideas about stability and change and offers theoretical and pragma...
