摘要：We use meta-analytical techniques to address three central debates in institutional theory: Is organizational behavior the product of social structure or organizational agency? Does conformity to institutional norms enhance or diminish organizational performance? Can organizational field-level factors explain differences in the pull of isomorphic forces across organizational fields? We find that the influence of social structure is weak. Also, the adoption of isomorphic templates improves both...

摘要：The longitudinal, multisource, multimethod study presented herein examines the role of employees' work-family integration in the spillover of daily job satisfaction onto daily marital satisfaction and affective states experienced by employees at home. The spillover linkages are modeled at the within-individual level, and results support the main effects of daily job satisfaction on daily marital satisfaction and affect at home, as well as the moderating effect of work-family integration on the...

摘要：Following the process-based definition of absorptive capacity, this article identifies technological and market knowledge as two critical components of prior knowledge in the organizational learning processes of absorptive capacity. Data from a multi-informant survey conducted in 175 industrial firms show that exploratory, transformative, and exploitative learning have complementary effects on innovation and performance. The results emphasize the multidimensional nature of absorptive capacity,...

摘要：This research developed and tested a model of turnover contagion in which the job embeddedness and job search behaviors of coworkers influence employees' decisions to quit. In a sample of 45 branches of a regional bank and 1,038 departments of a national hospitality firm, multilevel analysis revealed that coworkers' job embeddedness and job search behaviors explain variance in individual voluntary turnover over and above that explained by other individual and group-level predictors. Broadly sp...

摘要：We examined the relationship between employee creativity and job performance. Furthermore, we identified two learning-related personal and situational variables-employee learning orientation and transformational leadership-and examined their effects on employee creativity through employee creative self-efficacy. We found that employee creativity was positively related to employee sales and to supervisor-rated employee job performance. Employee learning orientation and transformational leadersh...

摘要：Country risk and foreign direct investment (FDI) are negatively associated, yet considerations such as rapid economic growth and lower factor costs are driving multinational corporations (MNCs) to significantly increase FDI into high-risk countries. How do MNCs deal with country risk on an ongoing basis after establishing majority or wholly owned operations? Analyses of 1983-96 data on a large sample of subsidiaries support our prediction that, under uncertainty, MNCs increase the extent of th...

摘要：The mutual forbearance hypothesis states that when the same competitors meet in multiple markets, rivalry is deterred. Our study highlights how pressures for local responsiveness impact the veracity of this hypothesis for multinational corporations (MNCs) in host countries. We develop theory to explain how subsidiary ownership, home-host cultural distance, host country regulatory restrictions on MNC activities, and the presence of local competitors affect the rivalry-dampening impact of multim...

摘要：This article employs rhetorical theory to reconceptualize institutionalization as change in argument structure. As a state, institutionalization is embodied in the structure of argument used to justify a practice at a given point in time. As a process, institutionalization is modeled as changes in the structure of arguments used to justify a practice over time. We use rhetoric surrounding the institutionalization of total quality management (TQM) practices within the American business communit...

摘要：Knowledge-based firms seeking competitive advantage often draw on the public knowledge stream (ideas embedded in public commons institutions) as the foundation for private knowledge (ideas firms protect through private intellectual property [IP] institutions). However, understanding of the converse relationship-the impact of private knowledge strategies on public knowledge production-is limited. We examine this question in human genetics, where policy makers debate expanding IP ownership over ...
