TL;DR: In this paper, the authors address conceptual difficulties and highlight areas in need of additional research in social exchange theory, focusing on four issues: the roots of the conceptual ambiguities, norms and rules of exchange, nature of the resources being exchanged, and social exchange relationships.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consolidate recent literature on CSSPs to improve the potential for cross-disciplinary fertilization and especially to highlight developments in various disciplines for organizational researchers and highlight possible directions for future research on the theory, process, practice, method, and critique of CSSP.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the conceptualization and measurement of the political skill construct and provided validation evidence for the Political Skill Inventory (PSI) and found that political skill was positively related to self-monitoring, political savvy, and emotional intelligence; negatively related to trait anxiety; and not correlated with general mental ability.

TL;DR: This article found that firms with politicians on the board are associated with better market-based performance across both groups of firms, although the relationship was more pronounced within heavily regulated industries than less regulated industries.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a theoretical framework illustrating how the internal social structure of the organization can mediate the relationship between high-performance work systems (HPWS) and organizational performance by facilitating bridging network ties, generalized norms of reciprocity, shared mental models, role making, and organizational citizenship behavior.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of customer behavior in Internet service deliveries is examined based on the OCB framework and it is hypothesized that a conceptual distinction between in-role behaviors (i.e., task performance) and extra-role behaviours (i., citizenship behavior) can be extended to customers who participate in service delivery.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors define team virtuality as the extent to which team members use virtual tools to coordinate and execute team processes, the amount of informational value provided by such tools, and the synchronicity of team member virtual interaction.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe how entrepreneurs in these settings organize a firm to solve their resource coordination and profit appropriation problems, and their implications for research in entrepreneurship and other fields are discussed.

TL;DR: Resilience capacity is introduced as an internal factor that influences the repertoire of available routines and helps a firm decide whether routines directed toward adaptive fit or robust transformation are more appropriate to implement.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the construct of executive coaching and examine how coaches' professional training, client characteristics, and types of coaching impact the effectiveness of this intervention, concluding with an agenda for future research on this emerging form of management development.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze fraud by senior executives in terms of its nature, scope, antecedents, and consequences, and draw on the fields of psychology, sociology, economics, and criminology to identify societal-, industry, and firm-level antecedent of management fraud and individual differences that enhance or neutralize the likelihood and degree of such fraud.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined how the choice of governance mode for external R&D, along with openness to new ideas and codifiability of knowledge, affects research performance.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the ownership structures of SMEs influence their proclivity to take risks and expand the scale and scope of their internationalization efforts, and they show that internal owners tend to be risk averse and have a lower propensity to increase the scope of internationalization than external owners (venture capitalists and institutional investors).

TL;DR: In this paper, a model for top management influence on innovations is proposed and tested with data from 12 European countries and the results show that leadership factors have strong effects on top management innovation influence.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors hypothesize that flexibility of employee skills, employee behaviors, and HR practices represent critical subdimensions of human resource flexibility and are related to superior firm performance.

TL;DR: The authors identify three metatheories focusing on environment processing, interactionist processing, and self-processing that form the basis for their theoretical model and conclude with an examination of future research directions.

TL;DR: In this paper, a curvilinear, inverted U-shaped relationship between the extent of telecommuting and job satisfaction was found to be a strong predictor of job satisfaction.

TL;DR: The authors critically examine e-learning’s effectiveness by reviewing the current literature on the outcomes and offer a research agenda designed to bridge the gap between the practice and science of e- learning.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors find that buyer-supplier collaboration positively relates to product quality, adherence to product cost targets and adherence to development budgets, and compliance with development schedules, while communication frequency and intensity has a curvilinear relationship with project development budget and product cost.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the literature regarding the general set of concepts and constructs relating to bad behavior in organizations is presented, identifying both areas of uniqueness as well as areas of overlap among these various concepts and constructions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight when data in management research will violate assumptions underlying tests of mediating variables, suggest an alternative strategy that provides better estimates, discusses the theoretical and empirical demands of the alternative strategy, and demonstrates the magnitude to which estimates improve by using the suggested approach.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the ability of a firm to effectively use external knowledge (its absorptive capacity) is important to firm competitiveness and innovativeness, and that the firm's relationship to its external environment, structure, routines, and knowledge base of the main value creation group(s) contributes to increased knowledge or knowledge creation activities.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors predict that the interaction between individual and team level autonomy influences team performance and that their combined effects are contingent on the level of task interdependence in a team.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined how stakeholders assess an organization in deciding whether to provide their support to it and found that stakeholders' support depends on their perceptions of an organization's age and other dimensions of newness related to addressing management challenges of adaptation.

TL;DR: This article examined how layoffs affect the reputations of firms and found that layoffs have a negative impact on a firm's reputation and that this relationship is significantly stronger for newer firms than older firms, and limited support is found for the hypothesis that larger firms' reputations will be buffered from the adverse effects of a layoff on their reputations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the theoretical and methodological reasons for the inconsistent findings on the value of strategic consensus and suggest the need for definitions of consensus that align the locus and content of agreement with the study context and theoretical premises.

TL;DR: In this paper, a meta-analysis revealed systematic relationships between board composition and six of the seven critical decisions examined, but the results provided little support to agency theory's predictions on the impact of board composition on critical decisions that involve a potential conflict of interest between managers and shareholders.

TL;DR: In this article, the determinants of firms' use of explicit call options to acquire equity in their international joint ventures (IJVs) are investigated empirically, and hypotheses on the circumstances under which firms use such options are developed.

TL;DR: In this article, behavioral explanations for the divestitures of formerly acquired units, particularly organizational inertia, were examined, and the results showed that with age and size combined, appointment of new outside directors and divestiture experience moderated the effects on the likelihood of firms divesting units they had previously acquired.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors develop a framework in which refocusing is explained as an attempt to balance overall transaction costs faced by groups with organization-specific costs in order to improve group performance.
