摘要:We develop a firm-director interdependence perspective to theorize director appointments as the outcome of a mutual selection process in which firms and director candidates select each other based on their organizational and personal dependencies. We apply this perspective to address a puzzle regarding director appointment in declining firms: Declining firms are often motivated to bring in director candidates with high resource endowments to help enact turnarounds, but these candidates may not...

摘要:We integrate political psychology and upper echelons research to introduce an alternative conceptualization of executive political ideology by separating the two distinct ideologies: social and economic. We theorize and test how the two ideologies exert distinct effects on a critical strategic outcome: corporate entrepreneurship. We examine this contention in Iran, a political context that sharply deviates from the exclusively studied U.S. context. We find that social and economic conservatism...

摘要:Multiteam systems (MTSs) operating in complex and dynamic environments often have a formal hierarchical leadership structure. However, it is unclear whether individuals should stick exclusively to performing their designated tasks within the hierarchical leadership structure, or if, instead, they should switch between different types of tasks to align efforts with changes in the environment. We refer to such task switchingan individual shifting to or from tasks designated for a particular lead...

摘要:This study develops a nuanced framework to unpack the heterogeneous mechanisms of institutional intermediaries' efforts by aligning their bridging and buffering roles with the information and certification support they offer to clients. I further examine how these mechanisms explain firms' intermediary choices in response to government regulations. Using a novel dataset of power plants across China, I find that the theorized intermediation mechanisms and the ways in which firms assess them are...

摘要:How do new ventures gain legitimacy and attract critical resources? An increasing body of cultural entrepreneurship research has highlighted an optimal distinctiveness trade-off: new ventures need to be distinctive from their peers to stand out, yet distinctiveness counteracts the attainment of organizational legitimacy. In this paper, we challenge the underlying assumption that distinctiveness necessarily counteracts the attainment of legitimacy and propose that distinctiveness can become a s...

摘要:We extend the field's understanding of voice recognition by examining peer responses to voice. We investigate how employees can help peers get a status boost from voicing, while also raising their own status, by introducing the concept of amplification-public endorsement of another person's contribution, with attribution to that person. In two experiments and one field study, we find that amplification enhances status both for voicers and for those who amplify voice. Being amplified was equall...

摘要:This paper elucidates the political dynamics of organizational identity breach and reconstruction. Drawing on the revealing case of UNICEF Germany, we develop a process model of four phases of identity breach and reconstruction: build-up of identity tensions, revelation of identity breach, identity reconstruction, and enactment of the reconstructed identity. Our analysis explains how each phase was characterized by specific political strategies employed by the managerialist and idealist organi...

摘要:A common prediction in research on practice diffusion is a strength in numbers effect (i.e., that a growing number of past adopters will increase the number of future adopters). We advance and test a theoretical perspective to explain when and how practice prevalence may also generate a weakness in numbers effect. Specifically, to explain the diffusion of reverse mergers-a controversial practice that allows a private firm to go public by merging with a publicly listed shell company-we suggest ...

摘要:Organizational selection decisions often involve an exchange of information between candidates and decision makers as to why candidates are motivated to work in the given position. Drawing on popular management myths as our overarching framework, we theorize that candidates' expressions of extrinsic motivation lead decision makers to infer that the candidate is less intrinsically motivated, in turn engendering bias against such candidates. We term this effect motivation purity bias, and argue ...
