  摘要：Free speech is a core principle in most democratic societies. However, the proliferation of prejudiced speech on social media has prompted intense debates about censorship. As a corollary in the workplace, and against the backdrop of online boundary blurring, we recruited a U.S. nationally representative sample to document that coworkers' prejudiced social media posts concern Democrats whereas employer censorship of such posts concerns Republicans. To investigate this tension, we integrated bo...
• Striking a Balance: Navigating Tensions Between Collective and Member Goals in Boundary Organizations AI翻译
  作者：Zobel, Ann-Kristin; Comello, Stephen
  作者单位：University of St Gallen; Stanford University
  摘要：Boundary organizations aim to facilitate collective efforts, but their collaborative arrangements often fall short of initial expectations, face member exits, or experience escalating conflicts. How do diverse members of these boundary organizations stay together and pursue collective goals despite tensions with their individual goals? Drawing on the concept of agency, we explore how members respond to these tensions and reshape the boundary organization's goals to better align with their own,...
• Looking at the Trees to See the Forest: Construal Level Shift in Strategic Problem Framing and Formulation AI翻译

  摘要：Effective strategy development, evaluation, and implementation starts with a comprehensive understanding of strategic problems. However, developing such an understanding is often challenging due to the complexity of such problems and because how they can be solved is not yet known. Managers often oversimplify these problems by focusing on a few symptoms and obvious causes. Research indicates that big picture, abstract thinking helps managers explore underlying causes more flexibly, but it can ...
• How Social Movements Catalyze Firm Innovation AI翻译
  作者：Odziemkowska, Kate; Zhu, Yiying
  作者单位：University of Toronto; Montclair State University
  摘要：We investigate the impact that social movements have on firm innovation through private politics. We argue that firms strategically respond to private politics by investing in new technologies that address movement-advocated issues material to firms' performance. Although both contentious private politics-when activists contentiously target firms-and cooperative private politics-when activists and firms collaborate-catalyze innovation, they do so in different ways. Contentious private politics...
• Revisiting Stock Market Signals as a Lens for Patent Valuation AI翻译
  作者：Arora, Ashish; Belenzon, Sharon; Ferracuti, Elia; Nagar, Jay Prakash
  作者单位：Duke University; National Bureau of Economic Research
  摘要：Estimating the private value of patents is important, yet challenging. By developing a method based on stock market returns to produce estimates of individual patent values, Kogan et al. [Kogan L, Papanikolaou D, Seru A, Stoffman N (2017) Technological innovation, resource allocation, and growth. Quart. J. Econom. 132(2):665-712] (KPSS) opened venues for new research. We characterize the measurement error in KPSS-the difference between the latent true patent value and the corresponding KPSS es...
• Shareholder Activism and Corporate Political Activity: A Governance Systems Perspective AI翻译
  作者：DesJardine, Mark R.; Shi, Wei; Sun, Zhihui
  作者单位：Dartmouth College; University of Miami; Capital University of Economics & Business
  摘要：Research documents that firms targeted by financially motivated shareholder activists often reduce spending in areas with uncertain or delayed payoffs. Yet, it is unclear whether this pattern extends to corporate political activity (CPA), particularly lobbying- an investment that is relatively inexpensive and can generate substantial benefits in the short run. We investigate how governance conditions shape the influence of block-holding activism on firm lobbying expenditures. Drawing on an eme...
• How Ideologically Opposed Stakeholders Influence Organizational Practice Adoption: Theory and Evidence from the Diffusion of Domestic Partner Benefits in Higher Education AI翻译

  摘要：This study investigates the concept of ideologically opposed stakeholders and its implications for the adoption and justification of contentious organizational practices. When organizations face stakeholders who oppose the ideological content of a new organizational practice, we theorize that this opposition causes organizations to emulate prior adopters whose animating values resonate with these opposed stakeholders. We further argue that if they adopt the practice that their stakeholders opp...
• The Cybernetic Teammate: A Field Experiment on Generative AI and Teamwork AI翻译

  摘要：We examine how artificial intelligence (AI) impacts three core pillars of collaboration-performance enhancement, expertise integration, and social engagement- through a preregistered field experiment with 791 professionals at Procter & Gamble, a global consumer packaged goods company. Working on real product innovation challenges, professionals were randomly assigned to work either with or without AI, and either individually or with another professional in new product development teams. Our fi...
• Playing to the Audiences: How Creative Producers Manage and Reconcile Different and Copresent Valuation Standards AI翻译
  作者：Reilly, Patrick
  作者单位：University of British Columbia
  摘要：This study examines how individual creative producers navigate conflicting valuation standards when multiple audience types are copresent. Drawing on a multiyear participant-observation study of stand-up comedy in Los Angeles, I introduce practical annealing as a real-time, cue-driven competency through which performers reconcile heterogeneous standards across casual consumers, peers, and gatekeepers. Practical annealing unfolds through three situated practices: audience profiling (inferring l...
• Supervisory Support Shift: The Impact of Disability Inclusion on Coworker Productivity AI翻译
  作者：Bird, Yanhua; Li, Qi; Zhou, Xiaoyu
  作者单位：Boston University; The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen; ShanghaiTech University
  摘要：A growing number of organizations hire employees with visible physical disabilities into jobs where they can perform as effectively as their nondisabled counterparts. Many practitioners expect such inclusion to positively impact nondisabled coworkers. Yet, the consequences for nondisabled coworkers' productivity remain unclear. We focus on an underexplored mechanism: frontline managers' discretionary allocation of supervisory support. Drawing on research on benevolent ableism and finite manage...
