摘要:We investigate the impact that social movements have on firm innovation through private politics. We argue that firms strategically respond to private politics by investing in new technologies that address movement-advocated issues material to firms' performance. Although both contentious private politics-when activists contentiously target firms-and cooperative private politics-when activists and firms collaborate-catalyze innovation, they do so in different ways. Contentious private politics...

摘要:This research examines the impact of contract framing on supplier learning activities within buyer-supplier relationships, an area previously overshadowed by a focus on internal organizational learning mechanisms. Grounded in regulatory focus theory and organizational learning theory, this study assesses how promotion and prevention contract framing influences suppliers' exploration and exploitation activities. Survey data from 135 buyer-supplier relationship dyads reveals that promotion and p...

摘要:Despite extensive research on stigma, we still lack a comprehensive understanding of how industry stigmatization progresses when constantly contested by resourceful incumbents. To shed light on this issue, we focus on the revealing case of the U.S. tobacco industry between 1980 and 2016. Combining structural topic modeling and discourse analysis to explore the extensive media discussions surrounding the industry, we find that stigmatization unfolds through three phases. These were each charact...

摘要:As the world of work continues to evolve, employees are increasingly seeking to do more than manage the bifurcated domains of work and home. Instead, amid greater demands at work alongside greater valuation of leisure, employees are striving to thrive at work without sacrificing their free time. To explore this tension, we adopt an agentic, blended, and futureoriented perspective of the work-nonwork interface and examine leisure-work synergizing as a unique practice for employees to find syner...

摘要:In response to persistent gender inequality in corporate leadership, many countries have implemented board gender diversity reforms, either through legislation or by revising governance codes for board appointments. Whereas these reforms aim to enhance women's representation and influence in leadership roles, their effects on corporate outcomes, such as innovation, remain unclear. This study develops a two-mechanism institutional contingency model to investigate how board gender diversity refo...

摘要:This study explores how organizations, together with their customers, solve problems in the face of disruptions, a process I call participatory improvisation. Drawing on interviews, ethnographic observations, and archival data collected from an underground restaurant, Secret Kitchen, and the theory of interaction order, I develop a process model of participatory improvisation with a two-part structure. First, I find that an organization must lay the foundation for participatory improvisation b...

摘要:A growing body of literature has sought to understand the strategic drivers of corporate activism, emphasizing the ideological composition of a firm's workforce as its salient internal driver. Despite these advancements, however, the heterogeneity in its effect remains underexplored, leaving it unclear when employee ideology is more likely to translate into activism. I address this gap by considering competitors' actions-another important driver uncovered in the scholarship-as a key source of ...

摘要:High-potential programs offer a swift path up the corporate ladder for those who secure a place on them. However, the evaluation of potential occurs under considerable uncertainty, creating fertile ground for gender bias. We document that men are more likely than women to be designated as high potential, and unpack how gendered responses to employees' expressions of passion-one of the most commonly used criteria used in evaluating potential-both penalize women and advantage men in high-potenti...

摘要:Crowdsourcing contests allow firms to seek ideas from external solvers to address their problems. This research examines solvers' use of developmental feedback from different sources and of different constructiveness when generating ideas in contests. I theorize a source effect in solvers' feedback use where they use seeker feedback more than peer feedback, even if both give identical suggestions for their ideas. I also show how the source effect affects solvers' use of constructive and less c...

摘要:Scholarship regarding occupational gender segregation has almost exclusively focused on women's experiences (e.g., as targets of discrimination in masculine domains), yet understanding factors that perpetuate men's underrepresentation in traditionally feminine occupations is equally important. We examine a consequential dynamic early in the job search process in which individuals come to learn that an occupation that fits them is perceived as feminine versus masculine. Our research develops an...
