Managing Joint Production Motivation: The Role of Goal Framing and Governance Mechanisms

Abstract: We contribute to the microfoundations of organizational performance by proffering the construct of joint production motivation. Under such motivational conditions individuals see themselves as part of a joint endeavor, each with his or her own roles and responsibilities; generate shared representations of actions and tasks; cognitively coordinate cooperation; and choose their own behaviors in terms of joint goals. Using goal-framing theory, we explain how motivation for joint production can be managed by cognitive/symbolic management and organizational design.

Ageing, Health and Life Satisfaction of the Oldest Old: An Analysis for Germany

Abstract: This analysis uses data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP) and the Survey on Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) to assess the effect of ageing and health on the life satisfaction of the oldest old (defined as 75 and older). We observe a U-shaped relationship between age and levels of life satisfaction for individuals aged between 16 and approximately 65. Thereafter, life satisfaction declines rapidly and the lowest absolute levels of life satisfaction are recorded for the oldest old. This decline is primarily attributable to low levels of perceived health. Once cohort effects are also controlled for, life satisfaction remains relatively constant across the lifespan.

Localizing the Global: ‘Domestication’ Processes in International News Production

Abstract: In order to describe the micro processes of global news production in national news broadcasting, this article investigates the strategies used by national producers to assign meaning to international events by analysing the production and presentation of specific news. Through an analysis of news production at four analytical levels–namely the global, the national, the organizational and the professional–the article exemplifies how processes leading to both globalization (homogenization) and ‘domestication’ (diversification) of news content are at work in international news communication. The study is based on investigations of Japanese newsrooms and comparative content analysis.

Exploring processes for customer value insights, supply chain learning and innovation: An international study

Abstract: This paper reports results from a study designed to assess the extent to which firms across industries and several countries lay the groundwork for and use customer value insight, supply chain learning, and innovation processes. The cross-sectional study serves as an exploration of the theoretical relationships among these activities and their impact on perceptions of organizational performance. Through an international survey study drawing on samples from the U.S., Sweden and Denmark, the authors find support for the notions that supply chain learning and innovation processes are driven by processes aimed at studying changes in customer value and contribute to perceptions of superior organizational performance. These findings have significant implications for logistics and supply chain management.
