摘要：How can a professional identity persist when it is mismatched with the reality of work demands in one's first job? Existing theory suggests that new members of a profession should adapt their identities to align with their profession's and organization's goals. Using data from an ethnographic study of first-time hospital nurses, I develop the concept of idealized professional identities-identities rooted in the image and history of an occupation rather than in reality-and depict how these iden...

摘要：Collaborations between organizations from different sectors, such as those between firms and nonprofits or governments, can offer effective solutions to complex societal problems like climate change. But complications arise because organizations operating in different sectors rely on the approval of different audiences, who may not view these relationships positively, for resources and survival. I show how concerns about audience approval impede cross-sector collaborations forming between firm...

摘要：We theorize how an ideological imprint-ideology formed through past events-serves as an information filter that persistently affects individuals' decision making and how subsequent behaviors of the imprinter-the entity that established the imprint-may alter it. We test our model with a longitudinal dataset of Chinese private entrepreneurs from 1993 to 2012, investigating the influence of a founder's communist ideological imprint, which characterizes foreign capitalism as evil, and subsequent d...

摘要：Based on an in-depth, qualitative case study about a conflict between governmental authorities from the United States and Switzerland over the regulation of Swiss banks, we introduceindirect compellenceas a novel triadic and indirect mechanism through which coercion leads to institutional change. Hostage-taking being a prototypical example, indirect compellence is typified by a coercive actor who takes a third party hostage to gain influence over a targeted actor. In our case, it meant that U....

摘要：In this ethnographic study of firefighters we explore how routines are coordinated under high levels of temporal uncertainty-when the timing of critical events cannot be known in advance and temporal misalignment creates substantial risks. Such conditions render time-consuming incremental and situated forms of temporal structuring-the focus of previous research on temporal coordination-unfeasible. Our findings show that firefighters focused their efforts on enacting temporal autonomy or, as th...

摘要：To investigate how participants shape a field's social and symbolic boundaries over time, I conducted an in-depth longitudinal study of five core and peripheral communities in the emerging nanotechnology field from the early 1980s to 2005. I show that core communities-futurists and government officials-initially expanded both social and symbolic boundaries to increase the field's monetary and cultural resources, yet later they reversed course and contracted the field's boundaries. I explain th...

摘要：We examine how different occupational communities that are embedded in organizations exercise control processes to achieve emergent coordination as they create complex products together. We compare two types of organizations, equipment manufacturing and film production, and find that although occupational control was important for emergent coordination in both settings, this relationship varied according to two aspects of occupational embeddedness: organizational acknowledgment of occupational...
