Firm survivability during long-term disruptions: an adaptation-based view Supply Chain Management (IF 7.9) Pub Date : 2024-08-30 Khadija Echefaj, Anass Cherrafi, Abdelkabir Charkaoui, Tim Gruchmann, Dmitry Ivanov
Purpose The COVID-19 pandemic showed that preestablished contingency plans and resilience practices were insufficient to cope with long-term and global disruptions. Companies thus struggled to develop capabilities that ensure their survivability during similar crises. Building on the adaptation-based view (ABV) of supply chain resilience, this study aims to offer an in-depth perspective on survivability

Taking It Easy: Off-the-Shelf Versus Fine-Tuned Supervised Modeling of Performance Appraisal Text Organ. Res. Methods (IF 8.9) Pub Date : 2024-08-28 Andrew B. Speer, James Perrotta, Tobias L. Kordsmeyer
When assessing text, supervised natural language processing (NLP) models have traditionally been used to measure targeted constructs in the organizational sciences. However, these models require significant resources to develop. Emerging “off-the-shelf” large language models (LLM) offer a way to evaluate organizational constructs without building customized models. However, it is unclear whether off-the-shelf

To Compare Is Human: A Review of Social Comparison Theory in Organizational Settings J. Manag. (IF 9.3) Pub Date : 2024-08-26 Michael J. Matthews, Thomas K. Kelemen
Social comparisons are one of the most ubiquitous behaviors that individuals, groups, and firms undertake. In particular, social comparison theory is based upon the premise that actors are motivated to engage in comparisons and that decisions throughout this process impact employees’ core self-evaluations, team relations, executives’ behaviors, firm prestige, and more. However, despite the prevalence

Longing for the Past: The Dual Effects of Daily Nostalgia on Employee Performance J. Manag. (IF 9.3) Pub Date : 2024-08-23 Jessica R. Methot, Kevin W. Rockmann, Emily H. Rosado-Solomon
Employees’ daily routines (e.g., commutes, lunch breaks, conversations with coworkers or family members) are vital rituals that create order and meaning. However, employees frequently experience changes to how their work and nonwork lives operate, which can generate discontinuity and spark nostalgia—a sentimental longing for the past. In this study, we draw from theory on the dual nature of emotional

Open strategy and digital transformation: A framework and future research agenda Int. J. Manag. Rev. (IF 7.5) Pub Date : 2024-08-23 Thomas Ortner, Julia Hautz, Christian Stadler, Kurt Matzler
Digital technologies increasingly facilitate more transparent information exchange and the inclusion of new and more actors in organizational processes. This resulting ‘openness’ has been studied in multiple domains, including open strategy. Since increased transparency and inclusion are the main dimensions of open strategy, it seems reasonable to assume a theoretical linkage between digital transformation

Scaling-up, opening-up? Using open strategizing for navigating rapid growth Long Range Plan. (IF 7.4) Pub Date : 2024-08-16 Josh Morton, Rocío Iglesias Ruiz
This paper investigates the use of open strategizing within a high-technology new venture during rapid growth. Open strategy can facilitate growth but also presents a dilemma when increased managerial control becomes necessary, particularly with high-risk growth phases. Drawing on the work of Deleuze and Guattari, we distinguish between two forms of open strategizing - rhizomatic and arborescent -

How can grand challenge‐related issues be studied while comprehensively addressing contemporary needs? The literature on grand challenges has been growing, with an abundance of phenomena on which research is undertaken in a piecemeal fashion, without sufficiently offering integrated insights. In this debate essay, we challenge the proposal offered in Seelos, C., Mair, J. & Traeger, C. (2023) The future

Augmentation-based artificial intelligence (AI) artifacts are increasingly being incorporated into the workplace. The coupling of employees and AI tools, given their complementary strengths, expands and expedites employees’ access to information and affords important learning opportunities.

The Role of Time in Strategic Human Resource Management Research: A Review and Research Agenda J. Manag. (IF 9.3) Pub Date : 2024-07-31 Corine Boon, Kaifeng Jiang, Rory Eckardt
Although time is an essential component of the relationships between human resource (HR) systems and their antecedents and consequences, strategic human resource management (SHRM) research has been long criticized for not paying enough attention to the role of time in theory development and research design. To evaluate how the time issue has been addressed in this research field, we reviewed 237 empirical

Addressing Endogeneity in Meta-Analysis: Instrumental Variable Based Meta-Analytic Structural Equation Modeling J. Manag. (IF 9.3) Pub Date : 2024-07-31 Zijun Ke, Yucheng Zhang, Zhongwei Hou, Michael J. Zyphur
In management research, meta-analysis is often used to aggregate findings from observational studies that lack random assignment to predictors (e.g., surveys), which may pose challenges in making accurate inferences due to the correlational nature of effect sizes. To improve inferential accuracy, we show how instrumental variable (IV) methods can be integrated into meta-analysis to help researchers

Does the Predator Become the Prey? Knowledge Spillover and Protection in Alliances J. Manag. (IF 9.3) Pub Date : 2024-07-31 Jens-Christian Friedmann, Dovev Lavie, Linda Rademaker
Does a firm that successfully absorbs knowledge from an alliance partner learn to protect its own knowledge in subsequent alliances? Our analysis of 529 alliances of East Asian firms during 1999–2015 suggests that as firms more skillfully overcome their partners’ knowledge protection, they learn to better protect their own knowledge in subsequent alliances. However, such vicarious learning increases

Research points to the importance of establishing inclusive workplaces. Yet, the same research also suggests that getting employees to buy in and engage in these sorts of inclusive behaviors can be a challenging endeavor. While the current literature offers some practical suggestions for garnering inclusion among employees, most recommendations center on programs and contexts with direct ties to inclusion

Anecdotal evidence in popular literature abounds about how perceiving that others have wasted one’s time is a common workplace experience with potentially negative consequences. Yet, there is a dearth of rigorous empirical research into the subjective nature of this psychological experience and its effect on employees. A lack of construct clarity and the absence of a validated measure to assess perceptions

While machine learning (ML) can validly score psychological constructs from behavior, several conditions often change across studies, making it difficult to understand why the psychometric properties of ML models differ across studies. We address this gap in the context of automatically scored interviews. Across multiple datasets, for interview- or question-level scoring of self-reported, tested, and

This paper explores when and how entrepreneurs who operate new organizations in environments where corruption is endemic can resist it.

The pay gap between those in leadership positions and other organisational members has risen markedly over the last five decades.
