摘要:Due to structural sexism, women frequently encounter barriers that result in lower rankings on performance indicators such as productivity data and appraisals by others. The fairness literature offers unclear predictions about the extent to which observers would judge allocations that fail (vs. attempt) to account for such structural barriers as fair. We suggest that past conceptual discussions and empirical designs did not factor in the causal ambiguity embedded in information about structura...

摘要:Using a grounded theory study of two prominent performing arts organizations during the COVID-19 pandemic, we develop theory about how organizations respond to adversity over time. Building on research on resilience, resourcefulness, and crisis management, we induce a process model that unpacks the mechanisms and dynamics that enable organizations to act resiliently. We find that organizations approach adversity using two types of resourcefulness. Promotive resourcefulness focuses on opportuni...

摘要:One of the greatest challenges of multi-stakeholder partnerships lies in forging a shared understanding and obtaining and sustaining commitment among parties representing different interests and goals. While studies have emphasized the importance of developing shared frames for enabling collaboration and collective action through frame alignment, scant attention has been paid to how stakeholder representatives can attain commitment from their constituents back home to frames negotiated on thei...

摘要:Drawing on a global, longitudinal case study of the vinyl record manufacturing practicefollowing a global decline in sales, we examine the work undertaken to preserve it overtime. Our process model of practice preservation highlights that a declining practicemay persist across generations if it is made more accessible and resilient by reducing itsdependence on specific types of meanings, materials, and competences that risk beinglost. Our analysis suggests that these outcomes depend on the wor...

摘要:We propose that the informational environment in which firm-stakeholder interactions are embedded shapes the effect of firm-stakeholder dialogue on a stakeholder's evaluation of a firm. How much stakeholders know about a firm (information availability), what stakeholders know about a firm (information content), and how much they trust the media that informs them (information reliability) vary across countries, firms, and time. We theorize and assess how these three dimensions of the informatio...

摘要:In this paper, we examine how field settlements are formed over time by zooming in on the actions and reactions of field incumbents as they seek to make sense of and collectively respond to external pressures for change in their field. We illustrate this process through an in-depth case study of the staff and members of an international industry association as they attempted to deal with pressures to change current industry practices relating to water and climate change. Specifically, we show ...

摘要:The literature on evolution of organizational forms has remained largely silent on where the first organizational instance of a new form comes from, treating it as either a given or an outcome of random variation. We challenge this agnostic assumption by putting the first organizational founding into a specific spatiotemporal context and revealing the role of provisional spaces , defined as small-scale, easily accessible settings where market pioneers temporarily experiment with applications o...

摘要:The infusion of algorithms into organizational fields-accelerated by advances in artificial intelligence-can have disruptive effects that trigger defensive responses. One important response involves establishing a boundary around an algorithm to delimit its interactions with its environment-in engineering terms, constructing an envelope. Yet, we know little about the process through which such envelopes are constructed. We address this issue by exploring how institutional custodians construct ...

摘要:The dominant perspective used to understand racial bias in leader selection decisions is leader categorization theory (LCT). Received wisdom is twofold: evaluators prefer White leaders because they possess prototypical leader traits; however, during periods of decline, evaluators prefer racial minority leaders because their stereotypical traits (e.g., warmth) position them to galvanize followers. We argue that whereas LCT is useful for explaining racial bias in nonsuccession contexts, it is in...

摘要:How does the viability of a product category shift over time? Studies abound on how categories emerge and become established, or fall out of use. Yet, extant research has often examined the evolution of categories one at a time, leaving open the question of how related categories affect a focal category's viability. In contrast, we consider both intraand inter-category dynamics. Viewing categories as continuously shaped by actors' efforts to position their products, we argue that these efforts...
