摘要：Voice, or employees' upward expression of challenging but constructive concerns or ideas on work-related issues, can play a critical role in improving organizational effectiveness. Despite its importance, evidence suggests that many managers are often hesitant to solicit voice from their employees. We develop and test a new theory that seeks to explain this puzzling reluctance. Voice is a distinctive behavior that involves escalation of opinions, ideas, or concerns by employees to their manage...

摘要：Developmental relationships offer rich opportunities for personal growth, which enables people to operate effectively in complex work environments. Although it is now widely recognized that proteges typically have more than one developmental relationship simultaneously, few researchers have considered the ways in which developmental networks-comprising a protege's multiple developers-foster growth. We therefore know little about how proteges grow through their engagement in several concurrent ...

摘要：Platform-based technology ecosystems are new forms of organizing independent actors' innovations around a stable product system. This collective organization is proving superior to traditional, vertically integrated systems in many sectors because of greater generativity-the ecosystem's capacity to foster complementary innovation from autonomous, heterogeneous firms-which extends the usage scope and value of the platform to users. However, greater generativity can also lead to greater variance...

摘要：We study knowledge flows between organizations through secondments, shortterm employee assignments at an organization different from the home institution. Secondments allow the sending organization to capture knowledge and network resources from the receiving organization without an organization-level contract, alliance, or colocation, a process we term learning by seconding. We focus on the National Science Foundation (NSF) rotation program, under which the NSF employs academics, called rotat...

摘要：Understanding how organizations operate in different environments has been at the core of organizational research for decades. Three distinct bodies of literature have emerged, with limited cross-pollination among them: routines, heuristics, and improvisation. We add to the existing literature by studying these three types of organizational responses simultaneously via an in-depth longitudinal study of an organization that encountered increasing levels of environmental dynamism. We pay particu...

摘要：Our paper studies how gender and organizational status affect a university president's compensation. Similar to previous findings, we hypothesize that women will receive less pay than men. However, we go beyond a dyadic view of individual differences to examine gender's impact on compensation, and we explicate the importance of institutional forces in understanding the gender pay gap. In doing so, we rely on organizational status and hypothesize that the gender pay gap will be less pronounced ...

摘要：This research proposes that individual-level exploration can be promoted by reconfiguring the spatial proximity between organizational members' workspaces. To test this idea, I exploit a natural experiment in an e-commerce company where the spatial distances between organizational members' workspaces were reconfigured. Consistent with the theory I develop on learning, results suggest that individuals whose workspaces were moved closer to those of previously separated peers engaged in more indi...

摘要：This study addresses the oft-debated questions of whether, when, and how corporate board members help shape firm strategy by advancing a new perspective on heterogeneous director influence that introduces the notion of the deep/broad director. Specifically, we take a sociocognitive and sociopolitical perspective on governance to suggest that deep/broad new outside directors, whose expertise results from a blend of depth and breadth of experience, will have an outsized influence in shaping firm...

摘要：Research shows that displaying face time-being observed by others at work-leads to many positive outcomes for employees. Drawing on this prior work, we argue that face time helps employees to receive better work and leads to career advancement because it is a strong signal of their commitment to their job, their team, and their organization. But when employees are geographically distributed from managers who control the assignment of work, they are often unable to display face time. To compens...
