摘要：The proposed theory extends research on cognitive and sociopolitical legitimacy, reputation, and status by advancing an evaluator's perspective on these concepts as forms of social judgment, each addressing a different evaluator's question about the organization. I describe how evaluators make their social judgments under conditions of bounded rationality and how cognitive and social factors influence this process. The proposed process model of social judgment formation highlights the complex ...

摘要：The collective creation of value has remained underexplored in management research. Drawing on social psychology and behavioral economics, we analyze the impact of the mix of employee motives to cooperate and compare the collective value generated by three motivational systems: individual monetary incentives, benevolent cooperation, and disciplined cooperation. Aligning the motivational system with the mix of motives in the workforce allows firms to foster cooperation and realize the value cre...

摘要：I review and reconceptualize identity threat, defining it as an experience appraised as indicating potential harm to the value, meanings, or enactment of an identity. I also develop a theoretical model and propositions that generate insights into how individuals respond to identity threats originating from a range of sources. I use this theory to explore individual and organizational consequences of different identity threat responses and their implications for research on identity dynamics wi...

摘要：It is increasingly recognized that what makes a theory interesting and influential is that it challenges our assumptions in some significant way. However, established ways for arriving at research questions mean spotting or constructing gaps in existing theories rather than challenging their assumptions. We propose problematization as a methodology for identifying and challenging assumptions underlying existing literature and, based on that, formulating research questions that are likely to le...

摘要：We summarize the manifest and latent content of the articles that make up the Special Topic Forum on Theory Development. Rather than offering new theories, however, most of the articles offer a series of critical accounts of current organizational theory and a range of novel ideas about the process of theory construction. We conclude by speculating about the institutional barriers to new theory creation and how those barriers might be changed.

摘要：We distill existing literature on theoretical contribution into two dimensions, originality (incremental or revelatory) and utility (scientific or practical). We argue for a revision in the way scholars approach the utility dimension by calling for a view of theorizing that would enable theories with more scope (both scientific and practical utility). We also argue for an orientation toward prescience as a way of achieving scope and fulfilling our scholarly role of facilitating organizational ...

摘要：How a contract influences the exchange and ongoing relationship between parties is an unresolved issue. While some suggest contracts negatively or positively influence the exchange and relationship, we argue that the contract frame determines its impact. Using regulatory focus and expectancy violation theories, we argue that promotion- and prevention-framed contracts induce different emotions, behaviors, and expectations, leading to different exchange outcomes and relationships, depending on t...

摘要：We expand the largely contemporaneous fit literature with a model that explains how individuals craft and recraft stories of fit in medias res in the middle of things. These fit narratives, composed of retrospected, current, and anticipated fit and woven together by a theme, help individuals make sense of their fit experiences and relate to outcomes through temporal influence and temporal comparison processes. Our model both extends and reinterprets our understanding of fit over time.

摘要：We examine the effects of organizational identity on the competitive dynamics of firms. Identity increases the awareness, motivation. and capability to respond to competitors' actions within the firm's identity domain, defined as cognitive competitive space that holds psychological value for a focal firm's management. Because of the psychological and motivational importance of a firm's identity, we predict that the actions and reactions within an identity domain may not adhere to traditional e...
