• Effective Information Infrastructures for Collaborative Organizing: The Case of Maasai Mara AI翻译
  作者：Hakonsson, Dorthe Dojbak; Larsen, Erik Reimer; Eskildsen, Jacob Kjaer

  摘要：This study focuses on how collaborative organizing is achieved in a natural-resource commons, organized as an actor-oriented structure. In a framed field experiment, teams of Maasai livestock owners played a board game related to sustainable usage and preservation of a commons (in this case, grazing areas). We examine team decisions over time and draw inferences about the difference between two information infrastructures: one that enables learning about the ecosystem and one that enables shar...
• A New Take on the Categorical Imperative: Gatekeeping, Boundary Maintenance, and Evaluation Penalties in Science AI翻译

  摘要：Extant theory suggests that candidates with an unfocused identity-those spanning different categories-suffer from a valuation penalty because evaluators are confused by their profile and concerned they lack the required skills. We argue that unfocused candidates may be penalized for another reason; they threaten established social boundaries. This happens in contexts where evaluators act as gatekeepers for social entities, such as professions. We test how the penalty applied to unfocused candi...

  摘要：Women leaders who fail to manage the double bind by displaying both warmth and competence can face backlash, creating pressure for women to invest thought, time, and effort into their self-presentation. Research to date lacks theoretical insights around how women in the highest levels of leadership manage the double bind in natural settings. Our inductive study of interviews with 43 women directors on U.S. publicly traded company boards offers an insider's perspective of participation tactics ...
• When Do Firms Crack Under Pressure? Legal Professionals, Negative Role Models, and Organizational Misconduct AI翻译
  作者：Gonsalves, Leroy

  摘要：Strain theory has long been invoked to explain organizational misconduct, with underperformance creating pressure for firms to engage inmorally objectionable activities. In this paper, I examine whether underperformance increases the risk of organizational misconduct. Drawing on institutional arguments about professions and social learning, I further predict that when experiencing performance strain, legal professionals will push the boundaries of the law, increasing the risk of misconduct if ...
• Team Adaptation to Discontinuous Task Change: Equity and Equality as Facilitators of Individual and Collective Task Capabilities Redevelopment AI翻译

  摘要：Teams often need to adapt to planned discontinuous task change or fundamental alteration of tasks, tools, and work systems. Although team adaptation theories have made substantive progress in explaining how teams can respond to change, they have not adequately considered the unique impact that discontinuous task change can have on teams. Such change can render not only collective but also individual task capabilities obsolete and necessitate a multilevel task relearning process. Drawing on the...
• The Agency to Implement Voice: How Target Hierarchical Position and Competence Changes the Relationship Between Voice and Individual Performance AI翻译

  摘要：Although voice is communication that is intended to benefit the performance of collectives, little is known about the benefits or costs to individual task performance and what mechanisms drive these effects. Our research offers new theory to articulate and illustrate the conditions under which voice has positive versus negative effects on individual task performance by directly acknowledging that employees have many options for where to direct their ideas. We introduce an agency perspective on...
• Anchored Inferential Learning: Platform-Specific Uncertainty, Venture Capital Investments by the Platform Owner, and the Impact on Complementors AI翻译
  作者：van Angeren, Joey; Karunakaran, Arvind
  作者单位：Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam; Stanford University
  摘要：Platform owners increasingly make corporate venture capital investments in complementors (e.g., app developers) to stimulate value creation, a practice we refer to as platform venture capital (PVC). Interested in the implications of PVC for other complementors, we investigate how PVC investments affect their product introduction and withdrawal decisions. Given that complementors confront platform-specific uncertainty concerning the strategic directions of the platform, which is asymmetrically ...
• Gatekeeping and the Use of Contested Practices in Creative Industries: The Case of Fur in Fashion AI翻译
  作者：Godart, Frederic; Hsu, Greta; Negroc, Giacomo
  作者单位：INSEAD Business School; University of California System; University of California Davis; Emory University
  摘要：In creative industries, a producer's choice to use specific cultural practices is often driven by considerations of industry-specific notions of creativity and artistic vision. Creative producers claim autonomy over which practices are deemed desirable or legitimate, creating resistance to influences from outside the industry, such as from social movements. This study proposes that in such contexts, externally-driven change depends on the role of prominent gatekeepers. We consider how shifts i...
• Data-Induced Rationality and Unitary Spaces in Interfirm Collaboration AI翻译
  作者：Cepa, Katharina; Schildt, Henri
  作者单位：Lancaster University; Aalto University; Aalto University
  摘要：The real-time data transfer between collaborating companies allows them to represent and control activities across firm boundaries, providing new ways to organize collaborative efforts. We conducted an inductive multiple case study of five long-term relationships to examine the effects of data-intensive technologies on the organization and management of collaborative relationships in industrial companies. Our analysis shows how the delegation of digital activities into specialized digital unit...
• Social Movements, Collective Identity, and Workplace Allies: The Labeling of Gender Equity Policy Changes AI翻译

  摘要：Social movements seek allies as they campaign for social, political, and organizational changes. How do activists gain allies in the targeted institutions they hope to change? Despite recognition of the importance of ally support in theories about institutional change and social movements, these theories are largely silent on the microdynamics of ally mobilization. We examine how the labeling of organizational policies that benefit women influences potential workplace allies' support for these...
