TL;DR: This paper reviewed and discussed the empirical literature on interorganizational networks at the network level of analysis, or what is sometimes referred to as "whole" networks, and offered a discussion concerning what future directions might be taken by researchers hoping to expand this important, but understudied, topic.

TL;DR: A review of the literature that summarizes what is known about the antecedents and consequences of abusive supervision, provides the basis for an emergent model that integrates extant empirical work and suggests directions for future research as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: A review article examines representative positive traits (Big Five personality, core self-evaluations, and character strengths and virtues), positive state-like psychological resource capacities (efficacy, hope, optimism, re siliency, and psychological capital), positive organizations (drawn from positive organization scholarship), and positive behaviors (organizational citizenship and courageous principled action) as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of task-related and bio-demographic diversity at the group-level were meta-analyzed to test the hypothesis of synergistic performance resulting from diverse employee teams.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed 93 empirical studies published in the 16 leading management journals from 1996 to 2005 and identified many gaps in both theory and methods, and proposed seven recommendations to address these gaps and advance future research.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the international entry mode choice literature, identify weaknesses and shortcomings, and provide suggestions on how researchers can add to the knowledge of mode choice and help managers make better international boundary decisions.

TL;DR: The authors defines and characterizes the construct domain of political skill and embeds it in a cognition behavior, multilevel, meta-theoretical framework that proposes how political skill operates to exercise effects on both self and others in organizations.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review and organize multifoci research and theory in justice, social exchange, and citizenship behavior, and develop a target similarity model to provide a theoretical framework for conceptualizing and integrating multoci research.

TL;DR: The literature on organizations and the natural environment, published since 1992, is reviewed, with the purpose of determining if and what the contributions have been to strategy and organizational theory.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive review of the research design and operationalization of resource-based constructs used in 125 empirical studies is presented, highlighting key empirical issues particularly important to RBV research and highlighting two important approaches that offer promise for sharpening the boundary conditions of the RBV.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors adopt and develop an institutional perspective to advance understanding of how host country environments influence subsidiary staffing strategies and find that firms rely more on expatriates in institutionally distant environments for reasons related to the efficient transfer of management practices and firm-specific capabilities and the positive influence of expatriate staffing levels on subsidiary performance is dependent on the institutional distance between the host and home country, and subsidiary experience.

TL;DR: This paper argued that theory building in the social sciences, management and psychology included, should be inductive, and they presented some guidelines for successful theory building through induction and some new policies that journal editors might encourage.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore entrepreneurship research in accounting, anthropology, economics, finance, management, marketing, operations management, political science, psychology, and sociology, identifying common interests that can serve as a bridge for scholars interested in using a multitheoretic and multimethodological lens to design and complete entrepreneurship studies.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine why power provokes workplace deviance in organizations and how types of power affect the form that deviance takes, and examine the role of organizational control and power in this process.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extend the resource-based view by investigating how not-for-profit organizations' collaboration outcomes, reflected through a joint consideration of monetary and non-monetary dimensions, may be affected by their organizational characteristics, partner attributes, and network structures.

TL;DR: The authors developed a model that demonstrates that subordinates who perceive a supportive feedback environment display increased feedback seeking, higher role clarity, and higher performance ratings, while effort costs moderated the relationship between the coworker feedback environment and feedback seeking from coworkers.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors define character as those inter-penetrable habitual qualities within individuals and applicable to organizations that constrain and lead them to desire and pursue personal and societal good.

TL;DR: This paper examined the effects of diversity faultlines stemming from educational background and conscientiousness on team decision quality and social integration and the moderating role of team task autonomy, showing that the differences become significant only under high autonomy conditions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a sample of 483 employees to investigate how fairness assessments and organizational structure relate to employee mental health and found that the interactive effects of distributive and procedural justice climates significantly influence individual feelings of both anxiety and depression.

TL;DR: This article developed a model of the individual and organizational antecedents and consequences of temporary worker stigmatization and articulated the implications of this model for research on workplace stigma and effective utilization of temporary workers.

TL;DR: The authors see reason for optimism for the future and identify two sets of emerging trends: one set that includes four positive advances—positive health, leadership, mood and emotions, and interventions—and one that falls under the authors' rubric of new horizons—technology, virtual work, globalization, and aging.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of two values held by founder (collectivism and novelty) on companies' post-startup performance are investigated by integrating congruence and organizational lifecycle literatures.

TL;DR: This paper explored how context influences accountability in a performance appraisal context and found that accountability to higher status or mixed status audiences influenced rating quality, whereas accountability to a lower status audience provided more inflated ratings.
