  摘要：There is much discussion about firms putting human resource management (HRM) to strategic use, in part by hiring senior HRM executives. This study explored whether that recommendation can help entrepreneurial, growth-oriented companies. By applying organizational inertia concepts, we investigated whether having a senior HRM executive reporting to a firm's CEO affected firm performance in a sample of firms making their initial public offerings (IPOs). Results indicate that smaller, fast-growing...
• The effects of corporate governance and institutional ownership types on corporate social performance AI翻译

  摘要：The effects of institutional investor types and governance devices on two dimensions of corporate social performance (CSP) were examined. Pension fund equity was positively related to both a people (women and minorities, community, and employee relations) and a product quality (product and environment) dimension of CSP, but mutual and investment bank funds exhibited no direct relationship with CSP. Outside director representation was positively related to both CSP dimensions. Top management eq...
• Corporate performance and stakeholder management: Balancing shareholder and customer interests in the UK privatized water industry AI翻译

  摘要：This study examined a major contention of stakeholder theory: namely, that a firm can simultaneously enhance the interests of its shareholders and other relevant stakeholders. Financial data relating to the U.K. water supply industry and the customer service performance indicators introduced after privatization in 1989 to protect customer interests provided the basis of our empirical analysis. The results show that, although improving relative customer service performance is costly for firms i...
• The relationship between environmental commitment and managerial perceptions of stakeholder importance AI翻译

  摘要：Do firms committed to stewardship of the natural environment differ from less environmentally committed firms in their perceptions of the relative importance of different stakeholders in influencing their environmental practices? Using cluster analysis on six responses to questions describing a firm's practices, we classified 400 firms into four environmental profiles: reactive, defensive, accommodative, and proactive. Results indicate that firms with more proactive profiles do differ from les...
• Who matters to CEOs? An investigation of stakeholder attributes and salience, corporate performance, and CEO values AI翻译

  摘要：Using unique data provided by the CEOs of 80 large U.S. firms, we examined relationships among the stakeholder attributes of power, legitimacy, urgency, and salience; CEO values; and corporate performance. We found strong support for the attribute-salience relationship and some significant relationships among CEO values, salience, and corporate social performance but found no support for a salience-financial performance link, Our findings suggest a need for continued emphasis on the developmen...
• The role of competitive action in market share erosion and industry dethronement: A study of industry leaders and challengers AI翻译

  摘要：Market share erosion and dethronement of market leaders are examined through the lens of Austrian economics. Our results suggest that leaders are more likely to experience market share erosion and/or dethronement when-relative to industry challengers-they are less competitively aggressive, carry out simpler repertoires of actions, and carry out competitive actions more slowly. These findings, based an seven years of data collected in 41 industries, contribute to research on hypercompetition, o...
• Cross-cultural collaborative research: Toward reflexivity AI翻译
  作者：Easterby-Smith, M; Malina, D
  作者单位：Lancaster University; University of Teesside
  摘要：We examine the methodological and philosophical implications of cross cultural management research, comparing a field study conducted collaboratively in the United Kingdom and China with Teagarden and colleagues' survey-based international study. Our findings confirm those authors' calls for flexibility in cross-cultural research and for careful management of research team relationships but also highlight the significant effects that power differences and contrasting views about research can h...
• Collaboration in the boardroom: Behavioral and performance consequences of CEO-board social ties AI翻译
  作者：Westphal, JD
  作者单位：University of Texas System; University of Texas Austin
  摘要：Empirical research has typically rested on the assumption that board independence from management enhances board effectiveness in administering firms. The present study shows how and when a lack of social independence can increase board involvement and firm performance by raising the frequency of advice and counsel interactions between CEOs and outside directors. Hypotheses were tested with original survey data from 243 CEOs and 564 outside directors on behavioral processes and dynamics in man...
• The antecedents and consequences of union commitment: A meta-analysis AI翻译

  摘要：We tested three published models of union commitment's antecedents and consequences as well as an integrative model, using correlation coefficients derived from 15 meta-analyses of five union commitment correlates: prounion attitudes, union instrumentality, organizational commitment, job satisfaction, and union participation, The integrative model offered significantly better fit to the data than the other models, suggesting that the effects of job satisfaction and union instrumentality on uni...
• Left behind? The impact of leaves of absence on managers' career success AI翻译

  摘要：We examined the relationship between taking a leave of absence and rewards among 11,815 managers in a financial services organization. Results indicated that leaves of absence, regardless of the reason for them (family responsibilities or illness) or the gender of the manager, were associated with significantly fewer subsequent promotions and smaller salary increases. Leaves of absence had a significant, negative relationship to performance ratings only if the leaves had been taken during the ...
