For instance, unsatisfactory performance engenders strategic adaptation. Our research contributes to the literature on performance feedback by introducing the notion of role-aligned goals, arguing that goals differ in importance depending on the decision-maker’s role. Role- alignment, in addition to unsatisfactory performance feedback, shapes how decision-makers attend to performance feedback. We develop theory on how role and role-specific experience affect the interpretation of performance feedback. Using the North-American feature-film industry as a research setting, we find that producers and directors differ in their interpretations of a film’s artistic and financial performance, and that this difference is reflected in the degree of risk they take when selecting subsequent film projects.

The first has been accused of being abusive or insensitive to the stress and anxiety that the approach may cause students, the latter of being neglectful of the need to maintain high standards of academic integrity. This polarization is unhelpful as it hinders thoughtful discussion as well as the formulation of balanced solutions that maintain high standards of academic integrity while also being sensitive to the psycho-emotional needs of students. To address these issues, we propose a duty-of-care perspective, which is based on the principle that as educators, we have a duty-of-care obligation to others and we must therefore act to address academic misconduct, but not without a consideration of the costs and burdens it places on others. Our duty-of-care perspective offers a fra...

An unambiguous answer to this question is absent from the literature because both theoretical arguments and empirical evidence are inconclusive across studies. Through a combination of research synthesis and theory-extension efforts, we shed new light on this relationship in three ways. First, we answer this open question by providing a meta- ...

To do so, we examine six distinct categories of Japanese shareholders: foreign investors, investment funds, pen sion funds, banks and insurance companies, affiliated companies and insiders. Our
