  摘要：How does the exchange of employees between regulatory agencies and regulated firms (i.e., the firm-government revolving door) affect firm regulatory outcomes? Existing work has mostly found a positive impact of revolving door hiring on firm outcomes, but it has overlooked potential limitations of this corporate political activity (CPA) tactic. We argue that the advantages firms can gain from hiring former regulators are bound by the timing of revolving door employment relative to the regulator...
• Bribery in the Workplace: A Field Experiment on the Threat of Making Group Behavior Visible AI翻译
  作者：Dakhlallah, Diana

  摘要：Can reputational threat among coworkers reduce bribery in organizations? I exploit within-and across-organizational variation in bribery to design and implement a field experiment in the maternity wards of five Moroccan public hospitals. I test whether threatening to reveal information about ward workers' involvement in bribery to their coworkers dissuades them from taking bribes from patients. Healthcare workers cut back on taking bribes in higher-incidence maternity wards but not in lower-in...
• (No) Time for Change: When and Why Entrepreneurs Act During Underperforming Fundraising Attempts AI翻译

  摘要：Entrepreneurs need to mobilize funds, but they do so under considerable uncertainty about resource holders' preferences, leading often to fundraising attempts that perform below entrepreneurs' aspirations. Past research has offered contrasting theorizing and evidence for why entrepreneurs then make changes to their product offering during such attempts as well as for why entrepreneurs refrain from taking such action. This paper develops and tests behavioral theory to reconcile this tension, ex...
• Leveraging Learning Collectives: How Novice Outsiders Break into an Occupation AI翻译

  摘要：Existing research depicts occupational learning as predominantly happening through formal education, situated learning, or a combination of the two. How career switchers might develop occupational skills outside of these established learning pathways is understudied. This paper examines how novice outsiders break into a skilled occupation by looking at the case of aspiring software developers attending coding bootcamps. Drawing on 17 months of fieldwork in the San Francisco Bay area, I find th...
• Recruiting Talent Through Entrepreneurs? Social Vision Communication AI翻译
  作者：van Balen, Timo; Tarakci, Murat
  作者单位：Utrecht University; Erasmus University Rotterdam - Excl Erasmus MC; Erasmus University Rotterdam
  摘要：For-profit social ventures are proliferating. They often communicate social visions, presenting an ideal future where the ventures resolve environmental or societal issues. We study whether social vision communication helps a startup to recruit talent-a fundamental problem for growth. We argue that jobseekers are less likely to apply to ventures communicating a social vision as they perceive reduced career advancement opportunities. We conducted two complementary studies to test our theory. St...
• When Does External Knowledge Benefit Team Creativity? The Role of Internal Team Network Structure and Task Complexity AI翻译
  作者：Venkataramani, Vijaya; Tang, Chaoying
  作者单位：University System of Maryland; University of Maryland College Park
  摘要：Creativity in teams is spurred by members' access to diverse knowledge, often from interactions with external sources. However, not all teams that have the capabilities to acquire such external knowledge are equally creative. Integrating theories of absorptive capacity and creative synthesis in teams, we propose that teams' external knowledge acquisition capabilities in securing a wide variety of knowledge resources need to be complemented by internal knowledge integration capabilities that fa...
• CEO Humility and Corporate Social Irresponsibility: Evidence Based on a New Unobtrusive Measure AI翻译

  摘要：Chief executive officers (CEOs) are expected to guard their firms against corporate social irresponsibility (CSIR) incidents. In this study, we hypothesize that CEO humility relates negatively to CSIR occurrence and positively to correction because of CEO preferences for protecting stakeholder interests and employing systematic information processing. These associations are stronger in industries with a high number of CSIR incidents and when top management teams have a higher ratio of gender a...
• Antecedents of Independent Directors on Joint Venture Boards AI翻译

  摘要：The presence of independent directors on corporate boards is often seen as an important means of monitoring to address principal -agent problems and of providing external resources and advice to management. In joint ventures (JVs), however, shareholdermanagement frictions can be lessened by appointing insiders to management and board positions, whereas access to valuable expertise, resources, and networks are provided by the partners themselves. A natural question, then, is why and when do par...
• Group Size and Its Impact on Diversity-Related Perceptions and Hiring Decisions in Homogeneous Groups AI翻译
  作者：Rai, Aneesh; Chang, Edward H.; Kirgios, Erika L.; Milkman, Katherine L.

  摘要：Why do some homogeneous groups face backlash for lacking diversity, whereas others escape censure? We show that a homogeneous group's size changes how it is perceived and whether decision makers pursue greater diversity in its ranks. We theorize that people make different inferences about larger groups than smaller ones-with consequences for diversity management-due to Bayesian reasoning. This can produce sensitivity to a lack of diversity in large groups and limited sensitivity to a lack of d...
• Why Do Some Conservative CEOs Publicly Support Liberal Causes? Organizational Ideology, Managerial Discretion, and CEO Sociopolitical Activism AI翻译
  作者：Wowak, Adam J.; Busenbark, John R.
  作者单位：University of Notre Dame
  摘要：The phenomenon of chief executive officers (CEOs) speaking out on contested social issues is a recent one, as CEO sociopolitical activism was seen as overly risky, and even taboo, for most of American business history. Yet, CEOs are increasingly choosing sides in societal debates despite the inherent risk of alienating stakeholders who disagree with the CEO's stance. Even more puzzlingly, conservative CEOs sometimes espouse liberal stances in such debates, which runs counter to the otherwise c...
