• Watchers, Watched, and Watching in the Digital Age: Reconceptualization of Information Technology Monitoring as Complex Action Nets AI翻译

  摘要：Despite increasing studies of information technology (IT) monitoring, our understanding of how IT-mediates relations between the watcher and watched remains limited in two areas. First, either traditional actor-centric frameworks assuming predefined watcher-watched relationships (e.g., panopticon or synopticon) are adopted or monitoring actors are removed to focus on data flows (e.g., dataveillance, assemblages, panspectron). Second, IT monitoring research predominantly assumes IT artifacts to...
• Good Deeds Done in Silence: Stakeholder Management and Quiet Giving by Chinese Firms AI翻译

  摘要：We propose a new mechanism explaining why companies may remain silent about their positive corporate behaviors, such as socially responsible activities. We examine such strategic silence in the context of corporate philanthropy. Building on and extending the literature on legitimacy and stakeholder management, we argue that when a firm mistreats primary stakeholders, it is more likely to keep quiet about its philanthropic acts to avoid backlash from stakeholders. We also propose that long-term...
• Alliance Governance Mechanisms in the Face of Disruption AI翻译

  摘要：Existing academic literature has discussed contracts and relational governance as the key mechanisms that help alliance partners address problems of cooperation and coordination. However, when an alliance undergoes disruption, the nature and extent of such problems may change and therefore the value of these mechanisms may change. This study advances a dynamic perspective on alliance governance by examining the impact of disruption and subsequent adjustment on the value of alliance governance ...
• Cooperative Criticism: When Criticism Enhances Creativity in Brainstorming and Negotiation AI翻译

  摘要：Long-standing wisdom holds that criticism is antithetical to effective brainstorming because it incites intragroup conflict. However, a number of recent studies have challenged this assumption, suggesting that criticism might actually enhance creativity in brainstorming by fostering divergent thinking. Our paper reconciles these perspectives with new theory and a multimethod investigation to explain when and why criticism promotes creativity in brainstorming. We propose that a cooperative soci...
• Why Do Banks Favor Employee-Friendly Firms? A Stakeholder-Screening Perspective AI翻译
  作者：Qian, Cuili; Crilly, Donal; Wang, Ke; Wang, Zheng

  摘要：We investigate why employee-friendly firms often benefit from lower costs of debt financing. We theorize that banks use employee treatment as a screen to assess firms' trustworthiness, which encompasses not only confidence in firms' ability to perform well but also the belief that they will act with good intent toward their creditors. We integrate screening theory and stakeholder theory to explain the-oftentimes unintendedconsequences that firms' actions toward employees have on their relation...
• Bounding and Binding: Trajectories of Community-Organization Emergence Following a Major Disruption AI翻译
  作者：Williams, Trenton Alma; Shepherd, Dean A.
  作者单位：Indiana University System; IU Kelley School of Business; Indiana University Bloomington; University of Notre Dame
  摘要：An important and underexamined topic in the growing literature on community-embedded organizing concerns situations in which dramatic shifts in the environment require the time-sensitive re-establishment of both communities and organizations to address urgent needs. We conduct a qualitative study of emergent community-organization trajectories in the aftermath of the 2010 Haiti earthquake and explore differences in the processes and interactions between emerging organizations and communities. ...
• Is Political Skill Always Beneficial? Why and When Politically Skilled Employees Become Targets of Coworker Social Undermining AI翻译
  作者：Sun, Shuhua
  作者单位：Tulane University
  摘要：The benefits of political skill at work have been extensively documented and highlighted. Existing research also reports unexpectedly equivocal and even positive relationships between employee political skill and coworker social undermining, suggesting that politically skilled employees can become targets of coworker social undermining. However, there is a lack of research explaining why and when employee political skill can lead to coworker social undermining. This research, drawing from soci...
• Socio-Technical Affordances for Large-Scale Collaborations: Introduction to a Virtual Special Issue AI翻译
  作者：Malhotra, Arvind; Majchrzak, Ann; Lyytinen, Kalle
  作者单位：University of North Carolina; University of North Carolina Chapel Hill; University of Southern California; University System of Ohio; Case Western Reserve University
  摘要：In this special issue, we review 14 articles published in Organization Science over the past 25 years examining large-scale collaborations (LSCs) tasked with knowledge dissemination and innovation. LSCs involve sizeable pools of participants carrying out a common mission such as developing open-source software, detector technologies, complex architecture, encyclopedias, medical cures, or responses to climate change. LSCs depend on technologies because they are often geographically distributed,...
• Oppositional Logics and the Antecedents of Hybridization: A Country-Level Study of the Diffusion of Islamic Banking Windows, 1975-2017 AI翻译
  作者：Boone, Christophe; Oezcan, Serden
  作者单位：University of Antwerp; WHU - Otto Beisheim School of Management
  摘要：Little is known about when and where hybrid organizations diffuse. We argue that neo-institutional perspectives, which stress the constraining role of market categories and institutional logics, have to be complemented with demand-side perspectives that stress the enabling force of economic incentives to explain the origins of hybrids. We develop theory to predict the country-level diffusion of hybrid forms in Islamic banking in the 1975-2017 period, during which many conventional banks invade...
• Why Do Firms Suffer Differently from Input Stigmatization? The Costs of Removing Stigmatized Inputs AI翻译
  作者：Diestre, Luis; Santalo, Juan
  作者单位：IE University
  摘要：Firms using stigmatized inputs are likely to experience strong pressures from multiple stakeholders who demand removal of such inputs from firm operations. Consistent with this phenomenon, we propose that greater levels of input stigma decrease firm performance and that firms respond to this threat by reducing the use of such inputs. However, we argue that not all firms are equally able to remove stigmatized inputs. Firms with a high degree of input overlap among their product units will be le...
