摘要:Vicarious learning-individual learning that occurs through being exposed to and making meaning from another's experience-has long been recognized as a driver of individual, team, and organizational success. Yet existing perspectives on this critical learning process have remained fairly limited, often casting vicarious learning as simply an intrapersonal, one-way process of observation and imitation. Largely absent in prior perspectives is a consideration of the relational dynamics and underly...

摘要:Roger Friedland's characterization of institutional logics as a combination of substance and practices opens the door to a more complex reading of their influence on organizational life. His focus suggests attention to feelings and belief as much as cognition and choice. In this article I use history to develop these ideas by paying attention to the perennial features of our embodied relations with the world and other persons. Historical work draws our attention to neglected domains of social ...

摘要:Research on voice has traditionally employed a deliberative perspective, whereby individuals engage in careful calculation of individual and situational factors to determine whether to speak up. In this article we draw from psychological research on automaticity to propose an alternative perspective-a habit perspective-whereby individuals are relatively unaware of situational factors relevant for their voice decision, have difficulty controlling their impulse to voice, and are efficient in the...

摘要:In this article I examine political lobbying and investigate firms' decisions to employ internal functionalities (i.e., to make or insource), to contract with external professionals (i.e., to buy or outsource), or to do both (i.e., to make and buy or plural source). I first develop an integrated framework based on the twin perspectives of economic efficiency and legitimacy. When the political audience faces little uncertainty about lobbying content, firms make sourcing decisions to maximize ec...

摘要:Practitioners repeatedly note that the everyday behavior of asking followers open questions and attentively listening to their responses is a powerful leadership technique. Yet, despite such popularity, these practices are currently undertheorized. Addressing this gap, we formally define the behavioral configuration of asking open questions combined with attentive listening as respectful inquiry, and we draw on self-determination theory to provide a motivational account of its antecedents, con...

摘要:In this article I present a theoretical model of how relationships among members of groups of knowledge workers shape the way new epistemic technologies, which are tools that play a central role in the ongoing construction of knowledge, are encountered. In particular, I theorize about how status differences influence interactions among group members. These interactions shape whether users engage in questioning practices, which involve examining the embedded assumptions within the technology, o...

摘要:Managing constellations of employee relationships is a core competency in knowledge-based organizations. It is timely, then, that human resource management scholars and practitioners are adopting an increasingly relational view of human resources. Whereas this burgeoning stream of research predominantly positions relationships as pathways for the transmission of resources, we shift attention by spotlighting that the interplay between human resource practices and informal relationships perforat...

摘要:Firms use reference points to evaluate financial performance, frame gain or loss positions, and guide strategic behavior. However, there is little theoretical underpinning to explain how social performance is evaluated and integrated into strategic decision making. We fill this void with new theory built on the premise that inherently ambiguous social performance is evaluated and interpreted differently than largely clear financial performance. We propose that firms seek to negotiate a shared ...

摘要:Current scholarship on organizational practices that foster a sense of care and collaboration in work relationships has yet to fully account for the potential misalignment between the goals of a given practice and how it is actually experienced. To address this issue, we develop a theoretical framework of experiential organizing, which we define as an iterative process through which positive relational and bureaucratic goals of a practice are pursued via symbolically and experientially oriente...

摘要:Work relationships are dynamic entities that have the potential to change over time. Given this, I develop a process model to explain how some self-disclosures, which I term disruptive self-disclosures, have the power to shift a work relationship. By focusing on the relational consequences of disruptive self-disclosure, the process model highlights the actions and reactions at the individual level that have the potential to shift the relational level. To address the relational level, I concept...
