TL;DR: In this paper, a heuristic framework illustrating recent trends in the literature depicts team effectiveness as a function of task, group, and organization design factors, environmental factors, internal processes, external processes, and group psychosocial traits.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the history of the social scientific study of leadership and the prevailing theories of leadership that enjoy empirical support and identify the contributions of the trait, behavioral, contingency and neocharismatic paradigms and the results of empirical research on prevailing theories.

TL;DR: This introductory paper discusses the logic and rationale of hierarchical linear models, presents a conceptual description of the estimation strategy, and provides an overview of a typical series of multi-level models that might be investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the contribution of each of the four dimensions in Thomas and Velthouse's (1990) multidimensional conceptualization of psychological empowerment in predicting three expected outcomes of empowerment: effectiveness, work satisfaction, and job-related strain.

TL;DR: The authors found that team size and openness were positively related to cognitive conflict, while team size was also associated with greater affective conflict, when teams had high levels of mutuality, greater openness led to less affective conflicts.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined whether slack resources have differential effects on the extent of a firm's response to environmental shifts using a sample of 30 airlines during the transitional period of industry deregulation.

TL;DR: In this article, a new framework for under standing and interpreting the breadth of executive compensation research and theory is developed and applied, which sorts the literature along three dimensions that reflect three basic issues in compensation design: how to pay, when to pay and what to pay (form of pay consequence).

TL;DR: This paper used structural equation modeling to evaluate the dimensional, reliability, and validity of the Perceptions of Politics Scale (POPS) across three different studies utilizing nine different samples for a total of 2758 respondents.

TL;DR: In this paper, a four-wave panel design was used to assess the relationship between CEO power and firm performance and the results of LISREL analysis showed that aspects of CEO power are, in fact, interrelated.

TL;DR: This article examined the potential relationships of two organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) dimensions with individual-and group-level measures using a theory-based multilevel framework, and found that the relationship between employee job satisfaction and the amount of courtesy displayed was stronger in the more cohesive groups.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors suggest that developments in personality theory, transformational leadership theory, and visionary leadership theory can contribute to a more realistic view of top managers, and identify future research directions for scholars interested in studying strategic leadership.

TL;DR: The Leaderplex Model as discussed by the authors is an integrative framework to stimulate integrative, empirical leadership research in such areas as diversity, global organizations, team-based organizations, charisma, and hierarchy.

TL;DR: In this article, a study of the effects of a company's organization structure and environmental context on the relationship between that company's dominant strategy formation pattern and its sales growth rate is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss how patterns of subject responses to items that vary in direction and extremity can produce an arttfactual two factor structure in the absence of multiple constructs.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the role of risk in executive compensation and argue that compensation arrangements may be used to mitigate agency problems by encouraging risk taking behavior and providing incentives for optimizing long-term performance.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors extended the previous research on creativity and person-environment fit by examining fit on the dimension of creativity and by incorporating both supply-value and demand-ability versions of fit.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new measure of inter-role conflict and facilitation was tested on 169 full-time employed MBA students and the results primarily supported the direct effects of role conflict on OCB.

TL;DR: The results of a hierarchical linear modeling analysis of dynamic criteria suggest that ability measures are differentially related to initial performance and performance improvement trend.

TL;DR: The authors presented a theory of managerial intelligence, as well as data to support the theory, and drew some general conclusions about what makes a person managerially intelligent, and discussed the relevance of a three-part, "triarchic" theory of human intelligence as applied to managerial performance.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors replicated Mowen et al.'s interaction using a two-trial design in which subjects could obtain feedback about their ability to attain the incentive bonuses between trials.

TL;DR: The authors examined the impact of individuals and institutions on research in entrepreneurship for the period since the Academy of Management accorded division status to entrepreneurship in 1987, including research in publications rated appropriate quality or above as entrepreneurship research outlets by MacMillan's (1993) survey.

TL;DR: In this article, Hierarchical Linear Models (HLM) were used to investigate the relationship between group cohesion and individual affect over time, and the residual from the cross-level analysis was used as a predictor of subsequent levels of group cohesion.

TL;DR: This article found no evidence that the mergers in the 1980s were more strategic or value-creating than those from prior periods, regardless of construct de& nition, and they also classified the large mergers through 1988, and classified each with a categorical and continuous measure of merger relatedness.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report two studies that separate task pacing from life span development, and show that the temporal pattern postulated in the punctuated equilibrium model reflects task pacing under u deadline, rather than the process of group development.

TL;DR: The results show that experience is a poor basis for learning primarily because the understanding of structural relations between individual actions and their aggregate consequences is confounded by nonlinear dynamics, time delays, and misperception of feedback.

TL;DR: This paper evaluated the prevailing explanations for why recruiting sources are differentially effective: realism and individual differences, and found that realism processes largely translate how recruiting sources influence job satisfaction, turnover, and absenteeism.

TL;DR: In this article, a multi-goal context was examined to assess the interaction of environment, person and behavior over time, where frequency of feedback was manipulated, and performance and goal commitment for a quality and a quantity goal were measured in a short-term, longitudinal study.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the extent to which performance ratings obtained using a distributional rating format differ from ratings obtained with a more typical global rating scale format and found a large, significant relationship between measures of within performance variability derived from distributional ratings are related to levels of interrater agreement on global rating scales.

TL;DR: This paper found that financial success induces functional favoritism on the part of CEOs, not in stable but in uncertain environments where there is a good deal of scope and motivation for attributional opportunism and superstitious learning.

TL;DR: This article found that over one-fourth of the raters selected a less-qualified female over a more qualified male for both the top-level and mid-level management positions in a traditionally female job, indicating that males may suffer from discrimination in traditionally female jobs similar to that faced by females in traditionally male jobs.
