The Role Of Top Management Teams In Firm Responses To Performance Shortfalls, Kalin Kolev, Gerry Mcnamara
The Role Of Top Management Teams In Firm Responses To Performance Shortfalls, Kalin Kolev, Gerry Mcnamara
Management Faculty Research and Publications
Past research rooted in the Behavioral Theory of the Firm has extensively examined the impact of performance feedback on organizational change and risk taking, finding robust effects that performance shortfalls enhance the risk taking of firms. We argue that the strength of this effect is likely to be contingent on the attributes of the firm’s top management team. To enhance our understanding of which firms are more likely to be sensitive to performance cues, we draw on the Upper Echelon Theory to theorize that key structural attributes of the top management team—tenure and gender diversity, size, and pay disparity—affect how …
Finding Calm In The Storm: A Daily Investigation Of How Trait Mindfulness Buffers Against Paranoid Cognition And Emotional Exhaustion Following Perceived Discrimination At Work, Christian Thoroughgood, Katina Sawyer, Jennica R. Webster

Although much is known about the harmful effects of perceived discrimination on employees’ psychological wellbeing, surprisingly few studies have examined why some individuals with stigmatized identities are able to rise above and overcome the effects of prejudicial work events. To address this gap in the literature, we integrate existing theory and research on workplace discrimination, mindfulness, and paranoid cognition to develop and test a dynamic, within-person moderated mediation model that explains why some employees are able to interrupt the process through which perceptions of discrimination lead to emotional exhaustion the next workday. Specifically, an experience sampling study conducted over two …
How Do Firms That Are Changing The World Engage Politically?, Kathleen Rehbein, Ronei Leonel, Frank Den Hond, Frank De Bakker
How Do Firms That Are Changing The World Engage Politically?, Kathleen Rehbein, Ronei Leonel, Frank Den Hond, Frank De Bakker
Management Faculty Research and Publications
The objective of this study is to contribute conceptually and empirically to the discussion about when firms attempt to align their political efforts with their social goals and how this alignment affects their financial performance, an area currently still under-explored. The empirical context for our analysis focuses on companies that have been singled out due to their efforts to emphasize “shared value” defined as integrating competitive and social policies. The specific research questions that we shed light on in this study include: What have been the types of political efforts that these firms singled out in the pursuit of their …
Board Demography And Divestitures: The Impact Of Gender And Racial Diversity On Divestiture Rate And Divestiture Returns, Kalin Kolev, Gerry Mcnamara
Board Demography And Divestitures: The Impact Of Gender And Racial Diversity On Divestiture Rate And Divestiture Returns, Kalin Kolev, Gerry Mcnamara
Management Faculty Research and Publications
Drawing on resource dependence theory and group diversity research, this paper examines how board gender and racial diversity impact corporate divestitures. We argue that due to the diverse experiences, knowledge, and perspectives that female and racial minority directors bring to the boardroom, it is more difficult and time-consuming for the board to reach a consensus and pursue a common course of action. Consistent with this argument, our results indicate that board gender and racial diversity lead to longer divestiture completion times and a lower divestiture rate. Additionally, we argue that due to their cognitive heterogeneity, diverse boards likely exchange a …
Resolving Complex Community Problems: Applying Collective Leadership And Kotter's Change Model To Wicked Problems Within Social System Networks, Jay L. Caulfield, Elizabeth F. Brenner
Resolving Complex Community Problems: Applying Collective Leadership And Kotter's Change Model To Wicked Problems Within Social System Networks, Jay L. Caulfield, Elizabeth F. Brenner
Management Faculty Research and Publications
How does collective leadership within social networks resolve chronic and complex problems common to communities? Unfortunately, sometimes it does not, but when it does, the outcome may be truly extraordinary. We use a case study approach to explain how one Midwest community within the USA applied collective leadership within a community network to reduce teen births. It took ten years of what many identified as provocative media campaigns and comprehensive sex education programs to reduce teen births by 65%, significantly exceeding the stated goal. Using Kotter's change model as a backdrop, powerful strategies and provocative creativity reveal courageous leadership within …
The Differential Role Of Job Demands In Relation To Nonwork Domain Outcomes Based On The Challenge-Hindrance Framework, Jennica R. Webster, Gary A. Adams
The Differential Role Of Job Demands In Relation To Nonwork Domain Outcomes Based On The Challenge-Hindrance Framework, Jennica R. Webster, Gary A. Adams
Management Faculty Research and Publications
The purpose of this study was to meta-analytically test a novel theoretical model examining a dual stressor and dual process model relating demands in the work domain to outcomes in the nonwork domain. The foundation for this model rested upon the challenge-hindrance framework and the role depletion and role enhancement perspectives derived from role theory as applied to the work-nonwork interface. The results show mixed support for the proposed model. In line with the challenge-hindrance framework the effects of challenge stressors were less detrimental than hindrance stressors. However, contrary to what has been reported for work domain outcomes, the net …
The Ethicality Of Point-Of-Sale Marketing Campaigns: Normative Ethics Applied To Cause-Related Checkout Charities, Jay L. Caulfield, Catharyn Baird, Felissa K. Lee
The Ethicality Of Point-Of-Sale Marketing Campaigns: Normative Ethics Applied To Cause-Related Checkout Charities, Jay L. Caulfield, Catharyn Baird, Felissa K. Lee
Management Faculty Research and Publications
“Would you like to contribute to XYZ charity by adding a dollar to your bill today?” Point-of-sale campaigns for fundraising are common to grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants and warehouse clubs. Commonly referred to as ‘checkout charity,’ these fundraisers have generated over $4.1 billion in contributions for nonprofits over the past three decades. Yet little research has focused on the ethicality of this type of campaign. To address this need, we analyze the issue using behavioral ethics (moral identity and emotional triggers of behavior) and normative theory (consequentialism, deontology, and virtue ethics). We consider three stakeholder perspectives, including the nonprofit initiating …

Research shows that the choice of relationship exit strategy by the instigator of exit can have significant negative consequences for the party that is being dropped. In this study we focus on what we coin as kind exit, where the risk of harm to the supplier as a result of the buyer's relationship termination is low. In line with current research, which is suggesting that the characteristics of a buyer-supplier relationship play a critical role in the instigator's choice of exit strategy, we examine the link between the buyer's perception of its relationship with the supplier and the manner in …
