Drawing on human capital theory, this study examines the role of different components of human capital—education (level and type), tenure, and career variety (functional, industry, firm, and country variety)—in the rapid or “fast-track” career ascent of individuals to their first top management position (highest level of organisational hierarchy) as chief executive officer (CEO) or non-CEO Senior Manager

Previous literature provides ample analyses of the antecedents of supply chain agility, but the organizational context has generally been neglected. Setting up the right organizational context is important for dynamic capabilities such as supply chain agility, especially in turbulent times. In this research, we study organizational context from two aspects as antecedents of supply chain agility, i

In this study, we provide a better understanding of the role of leader humility in employee voice by examining simultaneously the mediating role of intention to share knowledge and the moderating role of organizational tenure. We developed and tested a mediated moderation model. The study hypotheses were tested with partial least squares structural equation modeling techniques. Results from 309 medical

Integration, employee resistance, and acquisition performance Eur. Manag. J. (IF 6.11) Pub Date : 2024-02-13 Kalan Horton, David R. King, Florian Bauer, Bruce Lamont, Svante Schriber
Continued use of acquisitions despite evidence that they do not improve firm performance suggests that challenges associated with acquisitions may be underestimated by managers. We examine how employee resistance is influenced by acquisition integration and how it results in lower acquisition performance. Specifically, we examine different impacts of task and human integration on employee resistance

We are not who they think we are! Examining responses of qualified Tunisian immigrants in France to country-of-origin based image discrepancies Eur. Manag. J. (IF 6.11) Pub Date : 2024-02-11 Mamta Bhatt, Jacob Vakkayil, Maya Ben Romdhane
In this paper, we examine the dimensions of country-of-origin based image discrepancies that qualified immigrants perceive at the workplace and their responses to such discrepancies. By country-of-origin based image discrepancies, we mean misalignments between immigrants’ own notions and their perceptions of how host country employees (HCEs) think about their countries-of-origin and themselves based

Generating entrepreneurial imaginativeness from intercultural Janusian thinking Eur. Manag. J. (IF 6.11) Pub Date : 2024-02-01 Robert J. Pidduck, Daniel R. Clark, Yejun (John) Zhang
Research on the importance of entrepreneurial imaginativeness in new venture development continues to grow. Empirical studies so far have focused predominantly on its ideation-based outcomes—the number and quality of ideas produced. Knowledge remains scant, however, on imaginativeness' antecedent mechanisms and mediating role in nascent venturing (the activities that often precede formal launches)

Make it work - The challenge to diversity in entrepreneurial teams: A configurational perspective Eur. Manag. J. (IF 6.11) Pub Date : 2024-01-24 Christian Linder, Christian Lechner, Elisa Villani
Teams and timing are considered decisive for firm survival. We investigate the impact on firm survival of entrepreneurial team composition, in terms of diversity, and the speed of entering markets. Unlike research analysing the effects of low or high diversity, our research understands new venture teams as configurations of multiple, concurrent dimensions of diversity by untangling it in variety, separation

Adam Smith: His continuing relevance for contemporary management thought Eur. Manag. J. (IF 6.11) Pub Date : 2024-01-21 Maha Rafi Atal, Kathleen Riach, Craig Smith, Robert McMaster
This “Reflections on Europe” marks the end of the tercentenary of Adam Smith's birth as an opportunity to consider the relevance of his work beyond the epithet of “founding father of Economics.” Recognising the limited attribution his analysis has had thus far – at least explicitly – in modern management commentary, we discuss three themes in his work – labour relations, business ethics, and inequality

The impact factor-in-chief: Recollections of a former European Management Journal editor (2006–2012) Eur. Manag. J. (IF 6.11) Pub Date : 2024-01-09 Hervé Laroche
Academic journals are also organizations. As such, they are subject to institutional forces and environmental changes, to which they have to respond. They also have an internal life of their own, marked by people, events, choices. As the editor-in-chief of the European Management Journal (EMJ) from 2006 to 2012, I had the opportunity to witness and face drastic changes in the scientific publishing

Organizational constraints have been shown to impact numerous work outcomes negatively. However, we still know little about the mechanisms by which organizational constraints affect employee performance or the conditions under which performance is or is not reduced. Drawing on the job demands–resources theory, we propose a mediated-moderation model that advances our understanding of the effects of

Domestic violence has considerable professional repercussions. Abusive partners isolate victims, damage their self-confidence, belittle them, instill doubt, and create an atmosphere of uncertainty and fear. Such mechanisms of domination, control, and isolation could have consequences for the professional lives of the victims, including absenteeism, decreased performance, and errors. These professional

Cyber incivility (CI) is a prevalent form of workplace mistreatment with deleterious consequences for individuals and organisations. Although research has established a clear distinction between active and passive forms of CI, a nuanced understanding of how these affect employee attitudes and behaviours is lacking. The absence of such studies potentially misleads researchers and practitioners into

Information visualization and strategic problem comprehension as drivers of strategic decisions Eur. Manag. J. (IF 6.11) Pub Date : 2023-10-07 Karin Eberhard, Torsten Wulf
Despite its practical relevance for strategic decision processes in organizations, research on strategic cognition has thus far largely ignored the impact of information visualization. This is surprising as research in the fields of cognitive psychology and medicine shows quite consistently that visual aids have positive effects on decision makers’ comprehension of the issues at hand and – consequently

Although the number of studies on innovation and teams has increased significantly, there is still a paucity of consolidated understanding of how innovations emerge within a team. Prior reviews at the intersection of innovations and teams have not explored the network implications for innovation, thus warranting a literature review to provide avenues for further research. This study systematically

We develop a theoretical framework delineating employees' relational coping strategies in the face of co-worker envy. Drawing upon belongingness theory, we explicate why and how the perception of being envied prompts employees to engage in social reconnection behaviors inside and outside of their work teams. We propose that in-group versus out-group targeted relational coping strategies are linked
