Co-Opted Boards And Anti-Takeover Provisions In Us Firms: Do Better Financial Outcomes And Dynamic Governance Matter?, Mohammad Dulal Miah, Rashedul Hasan, Sabur Mollah, Arun Upadhyay
Co-Opted Boards And Anti-Takeover Provisions In Us Firms: Do Better Financial Outcomes And Dynamic Governance Matter?, Mohammad Dulal Miah, Rashedul Hasan, Sabur Mollah, Arun Upadhyay
Management Faculty Publications
This research examines the relationship between co-opted boards and firms' anti-takeover provisions (ATPs). Analyzing 5585 US firm-year observations for the period 2012–2022, the authors document a positive relationship between co-opted boards and ATPs. They further illustrate that the positive relationship is stronger in firms that exhibit subpar performance and compensate senior executives and directors more than the industry average. Furthermore, their research finds that good governance, board and executive gender diversity, gender equality, and board cultural diversity moderate the positive relationship between co-opted boards and ATPs. Our results remain robust across a battery of tests. The findings of this research …
Does A Ceo Turnover Lead To A Cfo Turnover? Evidence From Voluntary And Forced Turnover, Bakhtear Talukdar, Sabur Mollah, Suchismita Mishra, Junhong Yang
Does A Ceo Turnover Lead To A Cfo Turnover? Evidence From Voluntary And Forced Turnover, Bakhtear Talukdar, Sabur Mollah, Suchismita Mishra, Junhong Yang
Management Faculty Publications
The role of CFO has become increasingly important since the enactment of SOX 2002. The existing literature suggests that CFOs tend to leave office within 6 to 12 months of a CEO’s departure, but studies addressing whether forced and voluntary turnover behave differently are unexplored. There is also no attempt to explore whether financial performance or institutional shareholding play moderating roles in mitigating successive CFO and CEO turnovers. These scholars find that forced (voluntary) CEO turnover has a higher significant marginal effect on forced (voluntary) CFO turnover. They also find that, in general, higher financial performance and institutional ownership play …
Is Donation Funding A Dilemma For Microfinance Institutions?, Hamid Uddin, Masnun Al Mahi, Shabiha Akter, Sabur Mollah, Jia Liu
Is Donation Funding A Dilemma For Microfinance Institutions?, Hamid Uddin, Masnun Al Mahi, Shabiha Akter, Sabur Mollah, Jia Liu
Management Faculty Publications
Microfinance institutions (MFIs) play critical roles in providing financial access to low-income communities worldwide. Yet, reliance on donation funding in the operations poses fundamental challenges to their long-term sustainability. These scholars argue that this dependence creates an unclear agency relationship between donors (principal) – providing cost-free funds – and the MFI managers (agent), heightening moral hazard concerns. Also, due to the nature of the business model, MFIs’ operating leverage increases as they increasingly expand lending operations with more cost-free donation funds. Based on a global dataset of 2653 MFIs across 119 countries over 20 years, they find that greater reliance …
Click Or Skip? How Ad Format And Disclosure Shape Engagement And Purchase Intention, Emily M. Burke
Click Or Skip? How Ad Format And Disclosure Shape Engagement And Purchase Intention, Emily M. Burke
Student Publications
As digital marketing continues to be the dominant channel for consumer engagement, understanding the factors that influence ad effectiveness is increasingly important. This study examined how advertisement format (image vs. video) and sponsorship disclosure (non-sponsored vs. sponsored) influence engagement and purchase intention among college students. Using a 2 x 2 experimental design within an online survey, 88 participants viewed one of four real social media ads and completed measures of engagement and purchase intention. Multiple regression results showed that video ads produced higher engagement and purchase intention than static image ads, whereas sponsored ads led to lower engagement and purchase …
Corporate Climate Risk Governance And Environmental Innovation, Tanvir Hamim, Sabur Mollah
Corporate Climate Risk Governance And Environmental Innovation, Tanvir Hamim, Sabur Mollah
Management Faculty Publications
The existing body of literature with regard to climate-oriented governance focuses on carbon disclosure and climate change commitments, with a notable omission of an essential aspect of sustainable business practices and decarbonization, that is, environmental innovation. In this study, Hamim and Mollah examine the effect of climate risk governance on firm-level environmental innovation. Based on a panel of 4378 firm-year observations from the nonfinancial S&P 500 components over the period of 2011–2021, they provide novel empirical evidence that corporate climate risk governance is positively associated with environmental innovation. Firms with strong climate risk governance appear to engage more in environment-friendly …

Management Faculty Publications
This study explores the relationship between Broadway's financial success, NYC tourism, and production costs. By analyzing data from 1980 to 2023, the study finds that tourism plays a crucial role in Broadway's performance, while cost management, particularly cotton prices, also influences its financial outcomes.
The Effectiveness Of Sms Marketing Campaigns Versus Email Marketing Campaigns, Akriti Nepal, Edward A. Porter, Eliza M. Hoover, Kyla G. Cordell
The Effectiveness Of Sms Marketing Campaigns Versus Email Marketing Campaigns, Akriti Nepal, Edward A. Porter, Eliza M. Hoover, Kyla G. Cordell
Student Publications
In the present study, we examine the effectiveness of using SMS marketing campaigns versus email marketing campaigns when marketing towards consumers. We used the e-commerce direct messaging multichannel from 2021 to 2023 to test our hypotheses. A random sample was taken of a messages-demo data set with 7,564 rows that contains 10 million messages to test our hypotheses. The effectiveness of purchasing rates in email and SMS marketing campaigns was tested using an independent samples t-test. The results demonstrate that email marketing messaging had a more positive customer perception compared to SMS marketing messaging, as measured by whether customers opened …

Are California Venture Capitalists The Best Venture Capitalists?, Tyler Hull, Luna Y. Goldblatt
Are California Venture Capitalists The Best Venture Capitalists?, Tyler Hull, Luna Y. Goldblatt
Management Faculty Publications
We test if California VCs significantly outperform VCs from other US states. We additionally test in which instances California VCs outperform the other VC concentrated states of Massachusetts and New York. We find that VCs from California, Massachusetts, and New York have significantly greater probabilities of successfully exiting their investments than VCs from other states. Additionally, we show that California VCs are even more adept than VCs from Massachusetts and New York at 1. Early-stage investments, 2. Helping their entrepreneurial firms receive future rounds of financing, and 3. Helping their backed entrepreneurial firms receive higher IPO valuations and achieve superior …
Confirmation Bias Susceptibility: Social Domains, Metacognitive Self, And Gender, Emily N. Roush
Confirmation Bias Susceptibility: Social Domains, Metacognitive Self, And Gender, Emily N. Roush
Student Publications
Confirmation bias is a daily and commonly under-recognized cognitive bias, one in which requires more research. More specifically, confirmation bias is when individuals seek out information to confirm beliefs and reject opposing views. This phenomenon is readily studied in economics and psychology to name a few. However, confirmation bias is often neglected in an empirical setting. Thus, with a gap in the literature, this study tested the susceptibility of confirmation bias in college students, and utilized social domains, Metacognitive Self Score (MCS), and gender to predict the level of confirmation bias. Using a between-subjects design, participants were randomly assigned to …
All Of The Above?: An Examination Of Overlapping Organizational Climates, Alice M. Brawley Newlin, Cynthia L.S. Pury
All Of The Above?: An Examination Of Overlapping Organizational Climates, Alice M. Brawley Newlin, Cynthia L.S. Pury
Management Faculty Publications
We examined the largely unexplored issue of strong associations between multiple specific climates (e.g., for safety and for service). Given that workplaces are likely to have more than one specific climate present, it is important to understand how and why these perceptions overlap. Individual ratings (i.e., at the psychological climate level) for seven specific climates and a general positive climate were obtained from 353 MTurk Workers employed in various industries. We first observed strong correlations among a larger set of specific climates than typically studied: climates for collaboration, communication, fair treatment, fear, safety, service, and work-life balance were all strongly …
The Cosmos Of A Public Sector Township: Democracy As An Intellectual Culture, Patturaja Selvaraj
The Cosmos Of A Public Sector Township: Democracy As An Intellectual Culture, Patturaja Selvaraj
Management Faculty Publications
The public sector plays an important role in responding to the rights of citizens and evolving norms of social interest (Qu 2015). Qu argues that the nature of public enterprise is never final and there is a constant negotiation between the private and the public emergence of life and rights. One such space where the tension between the private and the public manifests itself is the public sector township or the residential colony in India. The sociality of hierarchy in public sector organizations manifest itself in the public sector township and may nurture everyday aspirations, angsts and divides. The officer …
Seriously?: Estimates Of Gig Work Dependence Vary With Question Wording, Alice M. Brawley Newlin
Seriously?: Estimates Of Gig Work Dependence Vary With Question Wording, Alice M. Brawley Newlin
Management Faculty Publications
In this presentation, Brawley Newlin examines whether "gig" workers respond differently to questions about their dependence on gig income based on question wording and/or based on objective dependence measures (e.g., number of dependent children, hours worked in the gig). Results show that about half of the variability in responses is due to question wording, and half is due to more objective dependence factors.

In this qualitative study we examine the role of caste, class, and Dalit janitorial labor in the aftermath of floods in Chennai, India, in 2015. Drawing from a variety of sources including interviews, social media, and news coverage, we studied how Dalit (formerly known as ‘untouchable’) janitors were treated during the performance of janitorial labor for cleaning the city. Our study focuses on two theoretical premises: (a) caste-based social relations reproduce inequalities by devaluing Dalit labor as ‘dirty work’; and (b) Dalit subjectivities, labor, and sufferings including occupational hazards become invisible and ungrievable forcing Dalits to provide a counter narrative …
Efficacy Of Online Training For Improving Camp Staff Competency, Barry A. Garst, Ryan J. Gagnon, Alice M. Brawley Newlin
Efficacy Of Online Training For Improving Camp Staff Competency, Barry A. Garst, Ryan J. Gagnon, Alice M. Brawley Newlin
Management Faculty Publications
Preparing competent staff is a critical issue within the camp community. This quasi-experimental study examined the effectiveness of an online course for improving staff competency in camp healthcare practices among college-aged camp staff and a comparison group (N = 55). We hypothesized that working in camp would increase competency test scores due to opportunities for staff to experientially apply knowledge learned online. Hierarchical linear modeling was used to analyse the cross-level effects of a between-individuals factor (assignment to experimental or comparison group) and within-individual effects of time (pre-test, post-test #1, and post-test #2) on online course test scores. At post-test …

Employees’ Financial Insecurity And Health: The Underlying Role Of Stress And Work–Family Conflict Appraisals, Heather N. Odle-Dusseau, Russell A. Matthews, Julie H. Wayne
Management Faculty Publications
Data from two longitudinal samples were utilized to elucidate underlying mechanisms of the well‐established relationship between financial insecurity and health outcomes, stemming from the theoretical rationale of conservation of resources and cognitive appraisal theories. Study 1 (n = 80) consisted of low‐wage food manufacturing employees working full time, while Study 2 (n = 331) was consisted of a larger, heterogeneous sample of full‐time workers representing multiple occupations. Respondents were surveyed on financial insecurity, work‐to‐family conflict (WFC), stress, and health outcomes at two time periods, 3 months apart. Results across our studies provided support for the direct effects of …
Family Supportive Supervision Around The Globe, Ellen Ernst Kossek, Heather N. Odle-Dusseau, Leslie B. Hammer
Family Supportive Supervision Around The Globe, Ellen Ernst Kossek, Heather N. Odle-Dusseau, Leslie B. Hammer
Management Faculty Publications
Family-supportive supervision (FSS) refers to the degree to which employees perceive their immediate supervisors as exhibiting attitudes and behaviors that are supportive of their family role demands (Hammer, Kossek, Zimmerman, & Daniels, 2007; Kossek, Pichler, Bodner & Hammer, 2011: Thomas & Ganster, 1995). A growing body of research suggests that leaders' and supervisors' social support of employees' needs to jointly carry out work and family demands is important for general health and job attitudes, such as satisfaction, work-family conflict, commitment, and intention to turn over (Hammer, Kossek, Anger, Bodner, & Zimmerman, 2009; Kossek et al., 2011). Thus, employee perceptions of …
The Big, Gig Picture: We Can't Assume The Same Constructs Matter, Alice M. Brawley Newlin
The Big, Gig Picture: We Can't Assume The Same Constructs Matter, Alice M. Brawley Newlin
Management Faculty Publications
I am concerned about industrial and organizational (I-O) psychology's relevance to the gig economy, defined here as the broad trends toward technology-based platform work. This sort of work happens on apps like Uber (where the app connects drivers and riders) and sites like MTurk (where human intelligence tasks, or HITs, are advertised to workers on behalf of requesters). We carry on with I-O research and practice as if technology comprises only things (e.g., phones, websites, platforms) that we use to assess applicants and complete work. However, technology has much more radically restructured work as we know it, to happen in …

In today’s technologically driven world, there is a need to better understand the ways that common computer malfunctions affect computer users. These malfunctions may have measurable influences on computer user’s cognitive, emotional, and behavioral responses. An experiment was conducted where participants conducted a series of web search tasks while wearing functional nearinfrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and galvanic skin response sensors. Two computer malfunctions were introduced during the sessions which had the potential to influence correlates of user trust and suspicion. Surveys were given after each session to measure user’s perceived emotional state, cognitive load, and perceived trust. Results suggest that fNIRS …
