Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify and suggest ways of working with such dichotomies to foster research and theory building, and delineate several tensions associated with the gap, including differing logics, time dimensions, communication styles, rigor and relevance, and interests and incentives.

387 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors leverage insights from economics, strategy, human resources, and psychology to develop an integrated and holistic framework that defines the structure, function, levels, and combinations of human capital resources.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: This article categorizes team composition models into four types and highlights theory and research associated with each one and offers an integrative framework that represents members’ attributes as simultaneously contributing variance to each of the four model types.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a systematic and multidisciplinary review of unit-level human capital resource (HCR) research that invokes resource-based theorizing in examining the unit's HCR.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Zhang et al. as discussed by the authors used a quasi-experimental design to investigate how two accountability-inducing management practices (evaluation and evaluation plus reward) and their interactions with personality characteristics influence knowledge sharing using knowledge management systems.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The authors argue that CV units become ambidextrous by nurturing a supportive relational context, defined by the strength of their relationships with three different sets of actors (parent firm executives, business unit managers, and members of the venture capital community).

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The heterogeneity of factors in shareholder activism, such as the firm, activist, and environmental characteristics that promote or inhibit activism, along with the breadth of activism's issues, methods, and processes, provide a plethora of theoretical and methodological opportunities and challenges for activism researchers as mentioned in this paper.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: This article found that the need for cognition was positively associated with peer-rated innovation behavior, as were job autonomy and time pressure, even when controlling for openness to experience and proactive personality.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Tournament theory is useful for describing behavior when reward structures are based on relative rank rather than absolute levels of output as discussed by the authors, and management scholars have used tournament theory to describe a wide range of inter-and intraorganizational competitions, such as promotion contests, innovation contests, and competition among franchisees.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Power distance is a value that differentiates individuals, groups, organizations, and nations based on the degree to which inequalities are accepted either as unavoidable or as functional as mentioned in this paper, and power is fundamental to all relationships.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focused on individual and team performance adaptation, where the mechanisms of adaptation can be observed and developed a conceptual taxonomy to map extant research, provide insights for synthesis and identify directions for future theory building and research.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The special issue on strategic human capital as mentioned in this paper sought to bridge this divide through creating a platform for researchers from both fields to engage in dialogue, and explored the manifestations of this divide and identified six issues that emerged that could provide areas of common interest across the two fields.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, an integrative classification framework based on two distinct dimensions: the level of analysis and the role of status hierarchies in organizational research is proposed. But the work in this paper is focused on the organizational domain.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, a cross-level study of working adults from a wide array of Chinese companies addresses one of the major challenges managers face in enhancing individual-level creativity: overcoming employees' resistance to change.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the mechanism through which supervisory family support is linked to outcome variables and examined the moderating effect of family-friendly benefits on this relationship, and they proposed and found that the quality of leader-member exchange, a form of social exchange relationships, mediated the relationship between supervising family support and work-related outcomes in Study 1 (N = 82).

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the consequences of portfolio diversity on superior product innovation and follow up on the call for a contingency perspective, based on the assertion that a firm's past strategies in internal knowledge creation are a source of experiences that increase the firm's capability to leverage extramural knowledge.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a model that tests managers' biased evaluations of women as less career motivated as an explanation for why women have lower managerial aspirations than men, and they hypothesize that day-to-day managerial decisions involving allocating challenging work, training and development, and career encouragement mean women accrue less organizational development.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify the importance of a within-person approach to job performance and then review several extant theories of withinperson performance variability that, despite vastly different foci, converge on the contention that job performance is dynamic rather than static.
