摘要：We theorize that competing with an interpersonal rival from another organization has a divergent cross-level effect: employees increase their visible individual contributions, but their total contributions to the organization decrease. Striving to outshine their rivals, employees focus on visible individual contributions that are easily observable and readily attributable. We advance three mechanisms through which this focus can reduce employees' total contributions to the organization: crowdi...

摘要：We examine how artificial intelligence (AI) impacts three core pillars of collaboration-performance enhancement, expertise integration, and social engagement- through a preregistered field experiment with 791 professionals at Procter & Gamble, a global consumer packaged goods company. Working on real product innovation challenges, professionals were randomly assigned to work either with or without AI, and either individually or with another professional in new product development teams. Our fi...

摘要：This study examines how individual creative producers navigate conflicting valuation standards when multiple audience types are copresent. Drawing on a multiyear participant-observation study of stand-up comedy in Los Angeles, I introduce practical annealing as a real-time, cue-driven competency through which performers reconcile heterogeneous standards across casual consumers, peers, and gatekeepers. Practical annealing unfolds through three situated practices: audience profiling (inferring l...

摘要：Research on certification has largely emphasized its positive effects, showing that certification can enhance trust and legitimacy for certified actors and in some cases, generate positive spillovers that benefit uncertified counterparts. Yet, certification programs are frequently scaled back or discontinued, suggesting that their broader consequences may be more complex than commonly assumed. In particular, certification can produce negative spillovers by sharpening distinctions between certi...

摘要：This paper proposes that firms' positioning in digital markets involves offering combinations of core and peripheral product functions that add value to customers. When new entrants face demand uncertainty and seek positions that match customer needs and preferences, they draw on external market feedback, specifically customer evaluations of other products, as an input to their positioning decisions. Using data on Photo & Video mobile applications in the Apple App Store, we theorize and show t...

摘要：As firms increasingly host online communities, they need to mediate across the divergent interests of community members and the firm. One way of addressing this is to establish a formal governance structure referred to as a boundary organization (BO). Yet, how to design such an organization is a puzzle. If a BO is effective, it is likely to reshape firm-community relations and thus needs to be adjusted to respond to this change. Therefore, BOs must constantly adapt to the boundaries they span ...

摘要：A new grand challenges paradigm has emerged in organization theory that has reoriented scholarly attention toward how society can effectively tackle a broad array of complex, uncertain, and evaluative matters of concern including climate change, forcible displacement, poverty, authoritarianism, child malnutrition, commercial sex exploitation, and many more. In this paper, I argue that the literature has tended toward a view of culture as a constraining force that inhibits tackling grand challe...

摘要：We develop a dynamic model of chief executive officer (CEO) succession under anticipatory awareness misalignment: the divergence between the board's and the CEO's private beliefs about the firm's strategic potential. The CEO chooses unobservable effort, may send costly noncontractible signals, and faces interim termination based on performance thresholds. We derive closed-form expressions for optimal CEO incentive intensity, effort, and fixed pay and show how they are influenced by belief misa...

摘要：Organizations pursuing activities that advance the public interest often require support from their local communities, but such support may be harder to come by in more racially diverse communities. In this study, we argue that this negative effect of racial diversity on support for organizations serving the public interest will be weaker the more inclusive the community, especially where community inclusion is accompanied by shared values among members of different groups and where the organi...

摘要：Entrepreneurship is often promoted as a pathway to upward mobility, especially for those who face barriers in traditional labor markets. However, whether and when entrepreneurship truly improves the long-term prospects of individuals with criminal records remains poorly understood. This study examines how the type of sentences- community service versus short incarceration-shapes ex-offenders' employment routes and socioeconomic outcomes. Using three decades of Danish registry data, we compare ...
