• TOO MANY PEAS IN A POD? HOW OVERLAPS IN DIRECTORS' LOCAL AND GLOBAL STATUS CHARACTERISTICS INFLUENCE BOARD TURNOVER IN NEWLY PUBLIC FIRMS AI翻译

  摘要：Drawing on status characteristics theory, we explore how boards' social structures influence board turnover. We theorize that (a) understanding directors' relative standing and spheres of influence in the local status hierarchy creates deference structures that reduce conflict and enhance stability, thereby reducing board turnover; and (b) shared performance expectations and attraction based on homophily in the global status hierarchy can also reduce conflict and enhance stability and thus ser...
• THE IMPACT OF EXECUTIVE VERBAL COMMUNICATION ON THE CONVERGENCE OF INVESTORS' OPINIONS AI翻译

  摘要：This paper studies the influence of executive verbal communication on the convergence of investors' opinions, defined as reduction of differences in investors' valuations. Building on the corporate communication and sense-giving literatures, we argue that executive verbal communication impacts investor opinion convergence through its influence not only on disclosure of new information, but also on the comprehensibility and credibility of the information conveyed. Accordingly, we hypothesize th...

  摘要：As most careers now span across organizations, former employees represent a growing source of potential hires for many organizations. Yet, we know little about whether and when firms benefit by rehiring former employees. To answer these questions, we adopt a knowledge-based view of hiring to develop new theory about how returning former employees' (boomerangs) post-hire performance might differ from that of external hires who have no previous experience with the firm(new hires). We theorize th...
• BEST NOT TO KNOW: PAY SECRECY, EMPLOYEE VOLUNTARY TURNOVER, AND THE CONDITIONING EFFECT OF DISTRIBUTIVE JUSTICE AI翻译

  摘要：Building on uncertainty management theory, we develop and test a model explicating how and when secrecy in pay communication may affect employee turnover-related outcomes (i.e., employee turnover intentions and firm voluntary turnover rates). Underlying this model is the notion that employees triangulate perceptions of pay secrecy (i.e., a pay-related procedural justice cue that also reflects uncertainty) with their own or others' perceptions of distributive justice as a basis for assessing or...
• KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE BALL OR ON THE FIELD? EXPLORING THE PERFORMANCE IMPLICATIONS OF EXECUTIVE STRATEGIC ATTENTION AI翻译

  摘要：Scholars have highlighted executive attention as a vital organizational resource. However, as prior studies have examined different facets of attention, a theoretical tension has emerged as towhether attention to a broader or narrower set of strategic issues better facilitates firm performance. On the one hand, a narrower breadth of strategic attention limits the risk of managerial cognitive overload. On the other hand, a greater breadth of strategic attention helps managers avoid blind spots ...
• THE HIDDEN COST OF PRAYER: RELIGIOSITY AND THE GENDER WAGE GAP AI翻译

  摘要：Religion is a preeminent social institution that meaningfully shapes cultures. Prevailing theory suggests that it is primarily a benevolent force in business, and differences across world religions preclude examining effects that thread across religions. We develop a theoretical account that fundamentally challenges these assumptions by explaining how and why religiosity-regardless of which religion is prominent-differentiates based on gender, widening the gender wage gap. Guided by an integra...
• SIZING UP ENTREPRENEURIAL POTENTIAL: GENDER DIFFERENCES IN COMMUNICATION AND INVESTOR PERCEPTIONS OF LONG-TERM GROWTH AND SCALABILITY AI翻译

  摘要：Female entrepreneurs have been found to face disadvantages when compared with male entrepreneurs, especially in acquiring the financial resources needed to sustain and grow their ventures. Across three studies, we examine how disparities in funding outcomes may be due to differences in how entrepreneurs communicate their ventures, whereby female entrepreneurs have a tendency to use more concrete language when describing their ventures than their male counterparts. We find that the use of abstr...
• MAINTAINING STRATEGIC AMBIGUITY FOR PROTECTION: STRUGGLES OVER OPACITY, EQUIVOCALITY, AND ABSURDITY AROUND THE SICILIAN MAFIA AI翻译
  作者：Cappellaro, Giulia; Compagni, Amelia; Vaara, Eero
  作者单位：Bocconi University; Bocconi University; University of Oxford
  摘要：In spite of an increasing interest in ambiguity, our knowledge of how organizations maintain strategic ambiguity to protect themselves from public scrutiny is still in its infancy. Through an in-depth historical study of the Sicilian Mafia between 1963 and 2018, we develop a model of strategic ambiguity maintenance. We focus on three struggles between the Mafia and state representatives, and show how these struggles centered on different types of ambiguity: ambiguity as opacity, equivocality, ...
• WHEN VICTIMS HELP THEIR ABUSIVE SUPERVISORS: THE ROLE OF LMX, SELF-BLAME, AND GUILT AI翻译
  作者：Troster, Christian; Van Quaquebeke, Niels
  作者单位：Kuhne Logistics University; University of Exeter
  摘要：Studies on abusive supervision typically posit that targets of abuse will either directly blame the perpetrating supervisor or indirectly blame the organization for allowing the abuse, and as a result reduce their cooperativeness at work. We pivot from this predominant logic and argue that, under certain circumstances, targets of abusive supervision may blame themselves, feel guilty, and then try to make it up to their abusive supervisors by helping them more. Drawing on the emotional process ...
• ZONING OUT OR BREAKING THROUGH? LINKING DAYDREAMING TO CREATIVITY IN THE WORKPLACE AI翻译

  摘要：Much has been written about the liabilities of mind wandering in the workplace. Given its prevalence, however, mind wandering may carry underappreciated benefits-especially with respect to creativity. Examining this possibility, we hypothesize that mind wandering involving imaginative thoughts, also known as daydreams, has the potential to spur creativity. We develop a theoretical model in which we examine two facets of daydreams based on their content problem-oriented daydreams and bizarre da...
