摘要:Organizations increasingly operate in diverse languages to serve external stakeholders, yet often adopt monolingual practices for internal work processes. As language is both a skill and a source of identity, low-status language speakers may experience identity-based exclusion in such organizations, regardless of their common corporate language skills. We thusexplore how linguistic inclusiveness can emerge among tensions between the demands formultilingual services and the need for a lingua fr...

摘要:We explore the relationship between workers'perceptions of firm-specific human capi-tal (FSHC) and turnover. The belief that actual FSHC constrains mobility undergirds itscritical role in resource-based theory. However, this rests on a strong assumption ofinformation efficiency that market actors correctly assess how specific an individual'sskills are, and price it appropriately. Emerging theoretical viewpoints dispute this,pointing out labor market imperfections and substantial difficulty in ...

摘要:Despite their prevalence, diversity initiatives do not necessarily motivate employees to facilitate diversity goals. We advance understanding of diversity rhetoric-defined as how leaders talk about diversity and its effects-as a tool for motivating employees to foster diversity and inclusion. Prior work has investigated rhetoric that emphasizes diversity in organizations is necessarily beneficial (value-in-diversity rhetoric), which is puzzling given the reality that diversity can have positiv...

摘要:Economic crises have profound effects on societies, motivating many individuals to launch their own firms in order to make a living. Although these firms created out of necessity possess few resources besides their founder's human capital, the role that this critical endowment plays in establishing a successful firm during a crisis is unclear, as existing knowledge offers diverging predictions about the value of general and specific human capital. We argue that this debate remains unresolved b...

摘要:Hybrid organizations must sustainably attend to multiple goals embedded in different institutional spheres. Past research has highlighted the value for hybrids in recruiting board members representing different logics to avoid attentional drifts; yet, diverse boards have also been prone to conflicts that occasion attentional lapses, thereby jeopardizing these organizations ' pursuit of multiple goals. We draw on a longitudinal comparative case study of five work integration social enterprises ...

摘要:Powerful leaders need to be challenged and pushed to consider uncontemplated perspectives. Research has indicated that employees in lower-power positions are best poised to challenge leaders, because these individuals better understand others' perspectives and have a different lens on day-to-day organizational issues compared to powerful leaders. While several well-known leaders rely on a lower-power employee (i.e., right-hand partner) to amplify their efforts, it is unclear how one becomes a ...

摘要:Research on entrepreneurial networking suggests that women may be more likely than men to select cofounders based on their resources (e.g., knowledge, skills, and experience), as a means to counteract investor bias. In contrast, research on gender in networking suggests that women may be more likely than men to select cofounders based on interpersonal attraction (e.g., liking, trustworthiness, and familiarity), because it aligns with their preference for stable and harmonious relationships. In...

摘要:Capitalizing on massive sentiment diffusion and mobilization aided by mass media and social media nowadays, we introduce a general theory of host country sentiments to illuminate the granular, context-situated, and time dynamic power of social sentiments. We posit that host country is a value-laden context wherein a foreign entity's ' s strategic action stimulates host country stakeholders' ' social sentiments and engagement in systems of discourses (sentiment sentiment arousal), ), mobilize...

摘要:Drawing on an in-depth study of physicians facing the Covid-19 pandemic in Italy in 2020, we advance theory on how professionals in their workplace respond to knowledge disruptions associated with complex societal challenges that undermine the adequacy of their knowledge base to solve professional problems. We show that, in the context of uncertainty generated by the knowledge disruption and the inability to mitigate this uncertainty through typical knowledge-based strategies, professionals ex...

摘要:Applying a grounded theory approach, we investigate how professionals cope with making errors that unintentionally harm others. We purposively sampled medical clinicians to study this phenomenon, as these professionals understand themselves as enablers of patient health. When unintentionally harming others, clinicians experienced initial feelings of guilt. Triggered by the error experience, these professionals engaged in a cognitive sensemaking process, aiming to determine the root causes of t...
