摘要：Despite indications that shareholder activism can elicit strong emotions, there is little theory that considers the effect of those emotions on board dynamics or the outcomes of activist episodes. This paper uses a phenomenon-driven approach to develop theory regarding how activism arouses director emotion, and what implications emotion has for boards during and after activist episodes. We leverage work on self-determination theory to explore conditions under which activism will arouse negativ...

摘要：Despite a burgeoning literature on morality and ethics in the workplace, a useful model of how workplace experiences help adults develop moral character over time has remained elusive. Adopting a social-cognitive perspective, we propose that the workplace is full of moral moments, and we present a three-layer theoretical model that describes how people's responses to workplace events can make their moral character improve (i.e., development), stay the same (i.e., maintenance), or get worse (i....

摘要：The theory of platform envelopment rests on network effects as the key mechanism for value creation, which nonetheless receives mixed support for its efficacy in determining competitive outcomes. We argue that the value of network effects depends on matching quality, which is a function of platform-specific algorithm technology and market-level data-driven learning. In formalizing these conceptualizations, we analyze a model that demonstrates how an entrant with a superior algorithm technology...

摘要：Scholars have traditionally treated motivation as a value-neutral state divorced from normative considerations. Yet, research across the social sciences suggests a growing moral imperative to love work, which carries with it the social expectation of intrinsic motivation. This normative pressure stems from the moralization of intrinsic motivation, wherein enjoyment of work is converted into a virtue. While research and practice emphasize positive work outcomes associated with intrinsic motivat...

摘要：We introduce novel theory to explain how and why some forms of work are particularly likely to foster work-home conflict. While all occupations have entrenched and prescriptively normative cognitive behavioral scripts that guide effective work task execution, we argue that some occupations' scripts are predominantly oppositional in nature, and largely inappropriate outside of the work domain. We articulate four forms of oppositional thoughts and behaviors (physical, interpersonally hostile, au...

摘要：In this paper, we offer a theory of opportunity underexploitation that explains how consumer disadvantage is coupled to the entrepreneurial process such that market inefficiencies disproportionately affect consumers from marginalized groups. We define opportunity underexploitation as a shortfall in entrepreneurial activity given an opportunity's potential value and the availability of resources in a system. We theorize that the social closure encountered by entrepreneurs from marginalized grou...

摘要：While agency theory has long dominated corporate governance research, we suggest that the common transplanting of the dyadic principal-agent problem into the corporate context has blurred key differences between principals and the firm as an entity. We redress this imbalance by advancing a conceptual framework of principal costs vis-a-vis the firm. We first show how principal costs can exist even in the single-principal corporate context, based on owner consumption and competence characteristi...

摘要：Constituency-building is an important corporate political strategy that expands the scope of conflict by mobilizing stakeholders to pressure policymakers. Although prior studies of constituency-building have highlighted how enlisting stakeholders in political battles creates unique opportunities and risks, what has been overlooked is the importance of firms assembling strange bedfellows of economically and morally motivated constituents, sometimes called bootlegger-and-Baptist coalitions. Draw...
