TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide evidence that commitment-based human resource practices (CBHRP) influence employees' turnover intentions by embedding newcomers more extensively into organisations and show that on-the-job embeddedness is negatively related to turnover intentions and mediates relationships between CBHRP and employees' intention to quit.
Abstract: This empirical paper provides evidence that commitment based human resource practices (CBHRP) influence employees' turnover intentions by embedding newcomers more extensively into organisations. The study was conducted with 501 managers in 19 financial service organisations in India. Results reveal that CBHRP enable organisations to actively embed employees. The results also indicate that on-the-job embeddedness (on-the-JE) is negatively related to turnover intentions and mediates relationships between CBHRP and employees' intention to quit.

TL;DR: This article found that organizational embeddedness mediated the relationship between distributive and procedural justice and in-role performance, and the degree of association between the dimensions of organizational justice and the components of organizational embedness varied.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the nature and organisation of transnational business networks and argue that the role and functions of TNC affiliates are critically dependent on their embeddedness in transnational networks.
Abstract: The author aims to examine the nature and organisation of transnational business networks. From an empirical study of some 111 parent Hong Kong transnational corporations (TNCs) and 63 of their foreign affiliates in Southeast Asia, he argues that the role and functions of TNC affiliates are critically dependent on their embeddedness in transnational business networks. These transnational business networks can be organised either within TNCs (intrafirm) or with local firms (interfirm). This network embeddedness of TNC affiliates is socially organised and can be strategically deployed to facilitate the extension of network associations through time and space. Two detailed case studies of business networks of Hong Kong TNCs (HKTNCs) in Southeast Asia present several interesting illustrations. First, the strategic strength and spatial reach of intrafirm networks determine the competitive advantage of Hong Kong TNCs in the regional economy. Better integration and regional coverage are the winning strategies of...

TL;DR: The centrality of user-members in cooperatives and cooperatives' embeddedness in their community and in a global network influence positively their resilience in times of crisis, as illustrated by cases of cooperatives that acted entrepreneurially during the COVID-19 crisis as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: The centrality of user-members in cooperatives and cooperatives' embeddedness in their community and in a global network influence positively their resilience in times of crisis, as illustrated by cases of cooperatives that acted entrepreneurially during the COVID-19 crisis Cooperatives are hybrid organizations that maximize value, instead of profit They are owned, governed, and controlled by their members They are more resilient than the conventional enterprises in times of crisis, thanks to their peculiar governance characteristics that ensure member centrality Next to member centrality, the embeddedness of cooperatives in their local environment and a global movement enhances mission centrality as well as trust and solidarity among their members, local communities, and other cooperatives

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose an alternative contextualization of governance schemes in local territorial contexts by adopting an original theoretical frame, by encapsulating the well-established notions of intended and emergent strategy within the construct of institutional plasticity applied to public organizations.
Abstract: Conventional studies on port governance reform mostly propose de-contextualized models, which overlook the embeddedness forces of ports in specific institutional and economic domains. To overtake such a gap, this paper challenges traditional models and proposes an alternative contextualization of governance schemes in local territorial contexts. Therefore, the manuscript analyzes institutional trajectories in port governance, by advancing knowledge on the risks of the reform processes implemented in rigid institutional frameworks, reluctant to conjugate global challenges with local claims. Institutional divergence may emerge between the objectives set at governmental level and the claims at regional/port level, by causing a delay of the implementation stage. For this purpose, the study addresses the Italian port context, as a meaningful empirical case. The paper adopts an original theoretical frame, by encapsulating the well-established notions of intended and emergent strategy within the construct of institutional plasticity applied to public organizations. The outcome of the Italian case unveils that the ongoing reform process is still partially inadequate to capture some urgent requirements as expressed several times by different port communities and stakeholders. The lack of a bottom-up perspective and local adaptation may constitute a dangerous drawback of the new governance framework.
