• Anchoring on Historical Round Number Reference Points: Evidence from Durable Goods Resale Prices AI翻译
  作者：Wiltermuth, Scott S.; Gubler, Timothy; Pierce, Lamar

  摘要：This paper examines how people price the resale of durable goods in systematically biased ways. We show across four studies that the anchoring effect of durable goods' prior sales prices on subsequent valuations is discontinuous at psychologically salient round number reference points (e.g., $10,000 increments) because these numbers create qualitative differences in how people perceive values below them versus values at/above them. Resellers set disproportionately larger subsequent prices when...
• Collateral Damage: The Relationship Between High-Salience Events and Variation in Racial Discrimination AI翻译
  作者：Gorbatai, Andreea; Younkin, Peter; Burtch, Gordon

  摘要：To what extent are individual or organizational biases affected by racially salient events? We propose that acts of discrimination and the individual biases that undergird them are sensitive to high-salience events and will oscillate with the salience of the focal attribute. In short, that the propensity to discriminate reflects both individual and environmental differences, and therefore a given person may become more prone to discriminate in the aftermath of a high-salience event. We test ou...
• The Facade, the Face, and the Sympathies: Opening the Black Box of Symbolic Capital as a Source of Philanthropic Attractiveness AI翻译
  作者：Shymko, Yuliya; Roulet, Thomas J.; Pimentel, Bernardo De Melo

  摘要：Although most studies on philanthropy have focused on corporate benefactors, limited attention has been given to beneficiaries and their characteristics. The literature thus falls short in explaining how the variance in the perceived value of those characteristics can condition the philanthropic attractiveness of recipients for donors. Drawing from Bourdieu's concept of symbolic capital and qualitative insights drawn from our empirical context of philanthropy in the field of cultural productio...
• Moral Foundations, Himpathy, and Punishment Following Organizational Sexual Misconduct Allegations AI翻译

  摘要：We build on deontic justice and moral foundations theories to shed light on responses to sexual misconduct at work by proposing a model that explains why some third parties punish accusing victims and support alleged perpetrators. We theorize that when third parties are given conflicting he-said, she-said information, they intuitively evaluate organizational injustice based on moral values. We further theorize that binding moral foundations (loyalty, authority, purity) give rise to sympathy to...
• Maintaining or Altering the Status Quo in the Nonmarket Arena: Theory and Evidence from Government Contract Disputes AI翻译

  摘要：We develop a theory that considers important differences in competition in the political arena based on whether firms are attempting to maintain or alter the status quo. Particularly, we argue that although investing resources and time to build relationships with politicians and government officials fosters trust, solidarity, and reciprocity, likely producing desired outcomes for both firms attempting to maintain the status quo and those trying to alter it, such relationships are more strongly...
• The Evaluation of Founder Failure and Success by Hiring Firms: A Field Experiment AI翻译
  作者：Botelho, Tristan L.; Chang, Melody
  作者单位：Yale University
  摘要：Organizations tout the importance of innovation and entrepreneurship. Yet, when hiring it remains unclear how they evaluate entrepreneurial human capital-namely, job candidates with founder experience. How hiring firms evaluate this experience-and especially how this evaluation varies by entrepreneurial success and failure-reveals insights into the structures and processes within organizations. Organizations research points to two perspectives related to the evaluation of founder experience: F...
• A Star Is Born: The Relationship Between Performance and Achieving Status Through Certification Contests in the Context of Equity Analysts AI翻译

  摘要：We investigate how the relationship between status and performance decouples over time by addressing two questions: (1) how performance affects the likelihood that an actor achieves high status and (2) how achieving high status affects the actor's subsequent performance. In doing so, we focus on the role repeated certification contests play, where evaluators assess actors' performance along particular dimensions and confer high status on the contest winners. Using the context of sell-side (bro...
• The Role of Resources in the Success or Failure of Diverse Teams: Resource Scarcity Activates Negative Performance-Detracting Resource Dynamics in Social Category Diverse Teams AI翻译
  作者：Yu, Siyu; Greer, Lindred L.
  作者单位：Rice University; University of Michigan System; University of Michigan
  摘要：Increasing the social category diversity of work teams is top of mind for many organizations. However, such efforts may not always be sufficiently resourced, given the numerous resource demands facing organizations. In this paper, we offer a novel take on the relationship between social category diversity and team performance, seeking to understand the role resources may play in both altering and explaining the performance dynamics of diverse teams. Specifically, our resource framework explain...
• Theorizing Organizational Benevolence AI翻译
  作者：Beveridge, Alim J.; Hoellerer, Markus A.
  作者单位：University of Nottingham Ningbo China; University of New South Wales Sydney; Vienna University of Economics & Business
  摘要：We extend research on stakeholder orientation by introducing and conceptualizing organizational benevolence-a notion that refers to a firm's inclination to pursue the welfare of an external stakeholder group as an end in itself manifested in a behavioral tendency in which benefiting the other is the ultimate goal of action. Employing a microfoundational approach, we propose a theoretical framework and a process model that explain how firms develop such a posture and how it eventually can becom...
• When Less Is More: How Statistical Discrimination Can Decrease Predictive Accuracy AI翻译
  作者：Csaszar, Felipe A.; Jue-Rajasingh, Diana; Jensen, Michael
  作者单位：University of Michigan System; University of Michigan
  摘要：Discrimination is a pervasive aspect of modern society and human relations. Statistical discrimination theory suggests that profit-maximizing employers should use all the information about job candidates, including information about group membership (e.g., race or gender), to make accurate predictions. In contrast, research on heuristics in psychology suggests that using less information can be better. Drawing on research on heuristics, we show that even small amounts of inconsistency can make...
