摘要:By integrating Herbert Simon's theory of artifact and Brian Arthur's concept of functionality in technology, we propose a novel conceptual framework for analyzing the process by which shadow options embedded in a firm's existing technologies emerge and are converted into real options. We apply this framework to examine the shadow options of Corning's photosensitive glass technologies. The core of our model is that technologies subsume options, most of which are shadow because they refer to fun...

摘要:In modern organizations, key sources of competitive advantage are embedded in employees. Management theory has traditionally viewed employee exit as the end of firms' relationships with employees and, consequently, the end of access to human capital and other resources embedded in departing individuals. However, recent research suggests that firms can benefit from the continuation of relationships with alumni employees. We argue that how organizations create and maintain connections to alumni ...

Specifically, we integrate the social-functional approach to emotions with theory on self-regulation to shed light on the effect...

摘要:Extant abusive supervision research has predominantly studied its prevalence and destructive effects through the lens of victims, potential victims, or third-party observers who witness such mistreatments. In the present research, we examine a neglected group of individuals-employees who are able to develop high-quality relationships and are closely associated with their abusive supervisors. Drawing insights from the stigma by-association literature, we conceptualize abusive supervision as a u...

摘要:Interruptions are common in organizational life and last from seconds and minutes to hours and days. We rely on a quantitative abductive strategy to determine how extended work interruptions shape employees' creativity. We start by studying how surprising interruptions that cause idle time affect employees' creative performance. We do so by exploiting a natural experiment-a supply chain shortage that caused unexpected stops in production plants-to show that individuals exposed to such an inter...
