摘要:There are numerous examples of the reemergence of old technology, such as vinyl records and film cameras. Yet, the literature on technology trajectories has focused almost exclusively on linear models of technology progression, and we have little understanding of the processes that may instead drive reemergence. In fact, no prior research has examined how users' occupational considerations may shape technology trajectories, despite a large literature on how occupations condition interactions w...

摘要:Existing theories offer conflicting perspectives regarding the relationship between career specialization and labor market outcomes. While some scholars argue it is better for workers to specialize and focus on one area, others argue it is advantageous for workers to diversify and compile experience across multiple work domains. We attempt to reconcile these competing perspectives by developing a theory highlighting the voluntary versus involuntary nature of worker-firm separations as a theore...

摘要:Kensbock, Alkaersig, and Lomberg (KAL) (2022) address the important topic of employee mental health in organizations. For three reasons, we caution readers against embracing KAL's proposition that employee mobility spreads mental disorders across organizations through a contagion process. First, we view harmful contagion as the least plausible of three theoretical mechanisms that imply similar empirical results. Second, despite detailed employment and healthcare data from Denmark, the empirica...

摘要:Existing theories exploring how companies interact with the law stop short of unveiling whether and why companies can differentially pursue, interact with, and benefit from a particular legal environment. We theorize that companies can use social structures-shared educational and professional affiliations-between lawyers and judges to strategically pursue specific legal jurisdictions, influence judges' discretion, and ultimately reap different legal outcomes from the same legal environment. Us...

摘要:We investigate the dispositional sources of managerial discretion by theorizing that CEOs' personality traits affect the extent to which their firms' strategies reflect their preferences. In a longitudinal study of Fortune 500 firms, we examine the moderating influence of two personality traits-narcissism and extraversion-on the relationship between CEOs' liberal- or conservative-leaning political ideologies and two firm strategies: corporate social responsibility (CSR) and workforce downsizin...
