Combining primary survey data collected from a probability sample of U.S. advertising agencies and semi-structured interviews with practitioners, I tested novel link class background to creative employment through cultural process matching people jobs. Qualitative show that shared culture, specifically “omnivorous”—diverse inclusive—taste socialization, signals potential employers motivates pursue positions. Structural equation modeling reveals omnivorous socialization taste mediate the...
Organizations increasingly rely on teams that span national and organizational boundaries, yet team members in emerging countries vendor firms are not treated as professional peers by their Western client-based peers. To understand how they respond to this identity threat, we integrate two literatures suggest possible answers: an response, based the critical literature top-down regulation, individual positive bottom-up construction. Drawing in-depth interviews archival data from three Indian...
The authors propose and test a novel theory of how decisions not to hire reproduce gender segregation through what they term proportional prejudice. They hypothesize that employers are less likely anyone from an applicant pool contains large proportion gender-atypical applicants—that is, those whose does match the occupation stereotype—as this leads form negative impressions all applicants, regardless gender. Analyses over 7 million applications for 700,000 job postings by more than 200,000...
Science and emotions are typically juxtaposed: science is considered rational unattached to outcomes, whereas irrational harmful science. Ethnographic studies of the daily lives scientists have problematized this opposition, focusing on emotional experiences as they go about their work, but reveal little disciplinary differences. We build these by analyzing Citation Classics: accounts making influential document how highly cited retrospectively describe aspects research assess variation in...
Scholars argue that cultural intermediaries—that is, people sell popular culture—accomplish their work through an affinity between personal taste and of consumers. Yet, studies have not examined the social origins such taste. To address this gap, I use qualitative quantitative methods to analyze data collected from a probability sample U.S. advertising practitioners. find although tastes intermediaries are socially stratified, they consistently "middlebrow" long associated with industries....
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to show how workers successfully address constraints posed by distributed work specifically, the lack cognitive common ground or “mutual knowledge” through emergent practices. Design/methodology/approach authors draw on archival and interview data collected over a ten-month period, from two matched product development teams, one working side-by-side in USA other between India. Findings illustrates team members compensate for difficulties presented...
In knowledge-based organizations, conflict among interdependent occupations can be exacerbated by the absence of a clear hierarchical ordering these within organization. Moreover...
Abstract A large body of research shows that the migration managers from one professional service firm to another weakens old employer’s relationship with its clients, because migrating remove their relationship‐specific knowledge and expertise – i.e., human social capital employers, redeploying it new employers. This study extends this by introducing a bi‐directional perspective in which both firms may exploit these resources. We use theory on build arguments about how form manager...
In light of the widespread belief that women are more emotional sex, gender division labor in creative fields is surprising. Here, less likely to be employed occupations - work generally considered emotionally expressive. I explain this role reversal through an overlooked source inequality, occupational system. Drawing on in-depth interviews and primary survey data from a probability sample U.S. advertising professionals, show how personal identity characteristics – specifically, privileging...
Despite the large numbers of women trained and employed in creative fields, perceptions achievement fields art, music, literature remain biased by gender. Most recent efforts to understand this puzzle focus on "demand- side" explanations: extent which audiences assign less value products made women. In contrast, paper identifies there is a gender gap novelty produced male female artists. Using an exhaustive dataset describing nearly 500,000 songs written released between 1955 2000, we (1)...
Organizational scholars have long been interested in why new practices spread, and their focus has on “successful” diffusions that reach a broad swath of the population. Such obscures important mechanisms. Etzion (2014) demonstrates instances limited diffusion - is, when practice diffuses only partly through population classification processes are invoked: actors may signal alignment with one camp or another, labels emerge to distinguish adopters non-adopters. This paper extends this idea...
Globally distributed arrangements that span Western and emerging countries have become increasingly common in knowledge intensive work. In these collaborations, it is often assumed macro level structural inequalities are a major source of difficulty for coordination sharing. However, we know surprisingly little about how professionals negotiate their daily work practice. To address this gap, collected qualitative data from interviews with Indian IT working offshore consulting companies. We...
We use a resource-based view of the firm to test competing theoretical predictions on whether human capital or processes drive circulation client ties – i.e., dissolution market relationship between and professional service subsequent establishment with same new firm. The perspective predicts that managerial mobility precedes because inter-firm relationships are embedded in relationship-specific investments social individual managers, thus, competitive advantage rests possession these...
Innovation in any field of research often runs the risk being poorly judged and misunderstood by researchers beholden to more conventional methods. What then allows undertake that could leave them ostracised from their disciplinary communities? In this post, Sharon Koppman Erin Leahey highlight how development interdisciplinary identities, association with key organisations, ability present unconventional a light are enabling innovate.
While creative professionals represent an increasingly important aspect of competitiveness in the new global economy, research to date has failed address what this classification means practice and how these add economic value organizations. This paper demystifies “creative” by examining it is performed, explained, defended through workplace practice. Based on ethnographic investigation advertising agency, I extend Pierre Bourdieu’s macrolevel concepts mesolevel, linking actors’ positions...
