First, we hypothesize that firm (macrolevel) high-commitment work systems conducive individual (microlevel) Furthermore, positive crosslevel main impact may be...

Although market responsiveness and firm innovativeness are important aspects of performance, little is known about which human resource management (HRM) systems foster these performance how. Building on prior research, we delineate flexibility-oriented (FHRM) in terms resource- coordination-flexibility-oriented HRM subsystems. In addition, draw organizational learning theory the concept absorptive capacity (AC) to articulate mechanisms through might influence innovativeness. We develop...

Abstract Given the assumption that most employers would like to gain trust of their employees, what initiate this trust? This study explores joint role employee‐organization relationship (EOR) and supervisory support in initiating among middle managers. The results from a 545 managers China show both EOR are important creating trust, with having stronger influence than EOR. Further, supervisors play synergistic by accentuating positive mutual investment approach attenuating negative...

We develop a social–structural perspective on the relationship between employee–organization relationships (EORs) and team creativity. argue that mutual investment EOR approach, in which employers expect high levels of employee contributions offer extensive inducements, will be associated with higher creativity relative to other approaches. also advance argument this mediated by member work-related communication density stronger when members' tasks are complex. find support for model...

To add greater theoretical precision to a fundamental construct in social exchange theory - namely, Gouldner's ‘norm of reciprocity’, this study developed measure Sahlins' generalized, balanced, and negative reciprocity types validated its psychometric quality China. For comprehensive validation the new scale, we carried out three studies. After generating pool items, used panel experts classify items according conceptual definitions types. Using factor analysis, first revealed structure...

Building on psychological research job demands and executive theory, we explain why negatively influence a firm’s overall innovation shift the balance of in...

Abstract We replicate and extend Jia, You, Du's (2012) study. added samples from the last 13 years (from 2011 to 2023) analyzed these new using same methodology as 2012 article. Our replication found that in years, 4 articles six leading journals 16 Management Organization Review (MOR) have highest degree of Chinese contextualization concepts ( what ), their relationships how logics underlying why ). The context continues contribute novel knowledge. extension study fully demonstrates 20...

Abstract We examine how CEO narcissism affects firm innovation ambidexterity—the relatively balanced development in existing domains through exploitative and new exploratory innovation. theorize that firms led by more narcissistic CEOs are less likely to achieve ambidexterity than those CEOs. Drawing on the trait activation theory, we further argue this negative relationship is strongest when CEO's power intermediate firm's reputation market intermediate. Our analyses of a large‐scale onsite...

Besides the previous social relationship perspective of employee-organization (EOR) research, this study takes cognitive to explore role team collective efficacy in mediating between EORs and performance. This further contends that cohesion moderates positive performance, thereby moderating indirect performance through efficacy. Data analyses 231 teams Study 1 63 2 support hypotheses. Therefore, provides theoretical contributions EOR literature by introducing a new at level discussing...

Research Summary This study examines both the horizontal and vertical dimensions of Chinese township industrial clusters in order to disentangle determinants catch‐up performance. By examining 87 Jiangsu Province, we find that a cluster's competitive intensity partially mediates relationship between cluster size performance number R&D centers interfirm joint actions positively affects innovativeness which, turn, contributes Our not only helps shed light on what strategic factors led...

ABSTRACT Drawing from conceptualizations of organizational learning and institutional complexity, we advance the understanding how coexistence multiple logics in a community influences firms’ learning. Viewing communities where firms local governments coexist as clusters, our analysis 354 39 township clusters China shows that government logic negatively moderates positive effect on learning; however, social connections between mitigate this negative effect. Modeling relationship two manner...

This paper firstly summarizes the evolution of nature China’s government and business relations, defines connotation new type puts forward research hypothesis based on institutional theory. Then, it applies standard negative binomial regression method to test basis “Ranking List Urban Political Business Relations” released by Renmin University China National Development Strategy Institute as well data A-share listed companies in Shanghai Shenzhen Exchanges. Finally, points out theoretical...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate how CEO humility influences inter-firm collaboration (IFC) and the moderating roles firm status (a firm's relative position in a social order) environmental uncertainty on such an effect. Design/methodology/approach As firms were nested township clusters, theoretical model was tested using hierarchical linear modeling analyze multisource multilevel onsite survey from 254 Chinese clusters. measured 18-item scale reported by both human...

Abstract This study examines how the managerial interpretation of incentive arrangement affects corporate engagement in social areas, as reflected performance, from two interrelated perspectives: political influence view and normative agency view. Building theoretical framework on state-owned enterprise (SOE) executives' dual-career tracks perspective, we contend that economic factors (performance decline relative pay gap) (socialist imprints career horizon) could divergently reshape...

Findings The results support hypothesis that...

This study aims to examine the internationalization of clusters, a driving force rising multinational firms from emerging markets. We explored question knowledge and relational dimension clusters. how configuration four factors, namely, component knowledge, architecture horizontal competition, vertical coordination, within cluster jointly affect degree by utilizing Fuzzy Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) method. Using Data 34 township clusters in Suzhou City, China, we identified...

Purpose Drawing on upper echelons theory, the authors study how career horizon of a CEO promotes green innovation through incentive mechanism. Meanwhile, from perspective speed and amount value realization, also identify two sets shift parameters that reduce or increase gap between short-career-horizon CEOs long-career-horizon CEOs. Specifically considering digital trend in China heterogeneity firms industries, this aims to examine moderating effects firm digitalization, industrial...
