摘要：Management research has alluded to organizational and environmental conditions that drive firms' tendencies to explore versus exploit. We complement this research by developing theory on vicarious learning to explain how a firm adjusts its own exploration level based on the exploration levels of its alliance partners and competitors. Using panel data on 180 electronics firms publicly traded in the United States, we reveal an inverted U-shaped association between a firm's exploration tendency a...

摘要：This study offers a new theoretical and empirical perspective on the dynamic effect of demographic dissimilarity on absenteeism behavior by team members over time. Integrating social identity theory with the theory of anchoring events (i.e., key social interactions), we propose that individual absenteeism behavior depends on the relational dissimilarity to the team age and gender. Using a sample of 2,711 individual newcomers in 820 blue-collar teams tracked over seven years, we show that gende...

摘要：Despite well-accepted understanding that relational dynamics characterized by respect, openness, and connectedness are critical for healthy team functioning, we know little about how to foster such dynamics. Drawing on observation and interview data from an intervention that fostered positive change in the relational dynamics of a global distributed team, this paper theorizes the mechanisms that enabled a move toward positive relational dynamics. We find that the intervention brought about rel...

摘要：Founders can voluntarily exit their ventures via initial public offerings (IPOs). This study builds on power theory to develop and test a model of founder exit using a dataset of 313 founders from 177 entrepreneurial IPOs between 2002 and 2010. We largely find support for the model-a negative relationship between founder power and full exit. To capture the underlying mechanism of the power-exit relationship, we conducted two experiments in which we randomly assigned decision makers to either a...

摘要：Formal hierarchical differentiation is a cornerstone of the organizing process. Prior research has focused primarily on pyramid-shaped formal hierarchies, despite documented limitations of the pyramid structure. We adopt a multi-method approach to consider the utility of alternative hierarchical shapes. First, we identify six pure type formal hierarchies that teams might employ. Next, we develop three propositions explaining the effects of hierarchy on team members' cognition and behavior. We ...

摘要：Social comparison processes were integral to the origins of the organizational justice literature, and are incorporated within several justice-based constructs and theories. Yet, despite this, the justice social comparison literature is theoretically underdeveloped; while the extant literature affirms that justice social comparisons influence employee outcomes, it does not explain why, when, or for whom these effects occur. We build new theory on why justice social comparison perceptions influ...

摘要：Forming early relationships increases entrepreneurial ventures' chances of survival and success by allowing access to critical resources from partners. However, since not all ventures achieve their desired goals through collaboration due to uncertainty, such relationships are sometimes abandoned. This paper investigates the costs of ties that have gone awry in the context of venture capital investments. We conjecture that the adverse perceptions of signals associated with tie discontinuation r...

摘要：Many complex organizational tasks are performed by networks of teams, or multiteam systems. A critical challenge in multiteam systems is how to promote information exchange across teams. In three studies, we investigate how identity asymmetries- differences between teams in terms of whether the team or overarching system constitutes their primary focus of identification-affect interteam information sharing and performance. In Study 1, we manipulate teams' foci of identification (team vs. syste...

摘要：Companies often engage in prosocial initiatives-such as employee volunteering programs-as a way to balance their economic goals with a set of social goals. In an attempt to expand the impact of such programs, some companies have begun soliciting help from their customers as well. Given the significant investment these programs represent, it is important that companies understand whether they offer the anticipated social and economic returns. Using multimethod data from a local microbrewery, we...

摘要：Although several work-family theories describe complexities associated with fulfilling work and family roles, extant research has not fully explained blended work-family experiences, such as women working full-time and breastfeeding at work. To address this shortcoming, we conducted a multistudy investigation. In Study 1, we interviewed 38 women about their daily experiences surrounding breastfeeding at work. We then developed a theoretical model to examine possible challenges and benefits ass...
