TL;DR: The authors developed and tested a theory-based measure of authentic leadership using five separate samples obtained from China, Kenya, and the United States, and found a positive relationship between authentic leadership and supervisor-rated performance.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review various literature streams to develop a comprehensive model that covers research into the antecedents, moderators, and outcomes of organizational ambidexterity, defined as an organization's ability to be aligned and efficient in its management of today's business demands while simultaneously being adaptive to changes in the environment.

TL;DR: A review of the literature on identification in organizations can be found in this article, where the authors outline a continuum from narrow to broad formulations and differentiates situated identification from deep identification and organizational identification from organizational commitment.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review team research that has been conducted over the past 10 years and discuss the nature of work teams in context and note the substantive differences underlying different types of teams.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the academic stakeholder theory literature as it developed between 1984 and 2007 and found five themes: (a) stakeholder definition and salience, (b) stake holder actions and responses, (c) firm actions and response, (d) firm performance, and (e) theory debates.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of the current state of the literature on paternalistic leadership and present an agenda for future theoretical and empirical research on this emerging and intriguing new area for leadership research.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors selectively review studies of impression management published since 1988 and identify strengths, limitations, and future research directions in three key areas: research investigating the use of IM at the individual level of analysis, research that applies IM theory, concepts, and thinking to better understand organizational phenomena, and research investigating organizational-level IM (e.g., how firms create legitimacy).

TL;DR: This article reviewed early work on negative experience transfer, deliberate learning mechanisms, and learning from others, which provide deeper insight into the contingencies and mechanisms of organizational learning in strategic settings such as acquisitions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify the universities and research scholars who have had the greatest impact on the field of management during the past quarter century and the factors that influence their impact.

TL;DR: Organizational configurations are sets of firms that are similar in terms of important characteristics as discussed by the authors, and they can be used to model human resource management, organizational behavior, ethics, entrepreneurship and international business.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review theoretical explanations and empirical evidence around the performance implications of clustering in proximity to related firms and discuss eight distinct groups of research questions with the potential to contribute to the continuing growth of this important research area.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the determinants of knowledge transfer to and from newly acquired subsidiaries in three transition economies in Central and Eastern Europe and found that organizational characteristics are important in conventional knowledge flows from headquarters, so that subsidiaries acquired with competence-creating objectives receive significantly larger inflows.

TL;DR: In this article, a new generation of studies is emerging in this literature that recommends the inclusion of mediating variables between high performance work systems (HPWS) and organizational performance, and the increasing rate of dynamism in competitive environments suggests that measures of employee adaptability should be included as a mechanism that may explain the relevance of HPWS to firm competitiveness.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a conceptual integration and synthesis of the literature on power and influence in multinational corporations (MNCs), focusing on the situation facing, and the strategies pursued by, low-power actors within the MNC network, that is, actors who are currently positioned in relatively weak or low status positions vis-a-vis other actors.

TL;DR: This paper explored whether employees' coworkers exhibit higher levels of withdrawal, and whether this relation would be curbed by a positive exchange relationship with one's organization, as suggested by organizational support theory.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors suggest that differences in nations' institutional environments may influence the applicability of resource-based advantages; for this reason, the effectiveness of such advantages may vary cross-nationally.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the role of family centrality in moderating the relationship between family conflict and job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and retention, and found that when individuals view work as being more central to their lives, negative relationships between WFC and organizational attitudes and organizational retention are suppressed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied panel data for corporate governance ratings in 50 countries between 1997 and 2005 to understand what the country-level predictors of corporate governance legitimacy might be.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the impact of customer interpersonal and informational injustice on service workers' emotional labor (surface acting) and proposed a revised theoretical model based on Cropanzano, Weiss, Suckow, and Grandey's model of justice and emotional regulation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used stakeholder theory as a conceptual basis to develop a broader and multidimensional measure of unethical behavior in eight consecutive steps and used exploratory factor analysis to generate five subscales comprising 37 items of unethical behaviour primarily related to financiers, customers, employees, suppliers and society.

TL;DR: In this paper, it is hypothesized that deviation from the optimal search, in the form of either overexploitation or over-exploitation, is detrimental to organizational performance and that the negative effect of search deviation on organizational performance varies with environmental dynamism.

TL;DR: This article proposed a multilevel model of group conflict that integrates the individual, dyadic, and intragroup levels of analysis, and examined the constructs and processes common to the intraindividual and dyadic levels as well as those that are unique to each level.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared four models: full mediation, partial mediation, independent effects, and a spurious effects model (the job satisfaction-OCB relationship is spurious because perceived fairness is a common cause), and found greatest support for the independent effects model: job satisfaction and different types of perceived fairness accounted for unique variance in OCB dimensions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate team identification and individual differentiation as complementary drivers of team members' citizenship and creative behavior and find that team identification is positively related to citizenship behavior toward other team members, whereas individual differentiation is positively associated with creative behavior.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors develop and empirically test a conceptual framework that predicts which types of awards have the biggest impact on the competitive performance of the award winners in the U.S. motion picture industry.

TL;DR: In this paper, data from two reported management studies are reanalyzed to show that different conclusions might be arrived when analyses are conducted at the construct rather than the dimension level, especially when the multidimensional construct is defined under the latent model.

TL;DR: This paper examined the effects of multiple goals on three different tasks (i.e., two creativity tasks and one intervening task) and the discretion to switch back and forth between tasks on creative performance.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the value firms place on acquiring executives' human capital as a function of its transferability versus specificity and found that executives moving to more similar firms receive greater increases to pay than nonmovers and those moving to less similar firms.

TL;DR: The authors argue that relying on self-interest explanations is a bad scientific strategy that discourages researchers from considering other determinants of how people behave, such as social psychology and behavioral economics.
