In seeking to escape from an abusive relationship and provide for her family, she turned to her knowledge of native foods and love of ‘wild harvesting’ from her childhood, to develop a thriving business. Her traditional knowledge of harvesting native foods has now led to the creation of products such as lemon myrtle sweet chilli sauce, Davidson plum syrup and cosmetics using ingredients such as Kakadu plum, emu oil, lemon myrtle and wild berry. Sharon now finds herself in a position where increased opportunities for international expansion are demanding increased volume and scale from her rural operations, where she works with Indigenous communities. She faces three key challenges about the future of Indigiearth: 1. How can Indigiearth achieve scale while maintaining profitability and social mission?2. How can Indigiearth protect its competitive advantage in the face of increased local agricultural competition, as Indigenous crops increase in value?3. How can traditional knowledge be both shared and protected for community development (jobs and wealth creation) and for future generations? The New Year is close and Sharon already has received large orders coming in from Europe and there is much interest from China and Japan. These decisions will determine how Indigiearth is structured, with whom it needs to partner to develop the Indigenous food industry, and how it will need to work with stakeholders on the issue of traditional knowledge while meeting the growing needs of the company. Sharon has a passion for her native products and wants to preserve the knowledge and respect that goes into her products – the dilemmas she is facing are putting her under immense pressure. She may choose to expand while maintaining the integrity of her business – but how can this be done?","PeriodicalId":379470,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management & Organization","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125925317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

O'Shannassy","doi":"10.1017/jmo.2017.31","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/jmo.2017.31","url":null,"abstract":"In my previous editorial (O’Shannassy, 2015), I highlighted the important role strategic management research and the work of strategy practitioners plays in improving the performance of organizations to the satisfaction of shareholders and stakeholders, the practice of strategy work, the well-being of society and our quality of life. Review of recent media articles (e.g., Gottliebsen, 2017; Rogers, 2017; Stuart Hunter, 2017) highlights the importance of effective strategic management for the well-being of the global financial system, effective management of the healthcare sector including the health insurance sector for all countries, the practice of innovation, the evolution of technology (Rogers, 2017) and sustainability (O’Shannassy, 2015). Hambrick (2004: 91) observes that the focus of the field of strategic management is to ‘study the roles and responsibilities of general managers’ and avoid being taken over by ‘microeconomics, organizational sociology, marketing and psychology’. The term general managers has been interpreted broadly by the field of research since the late 1970s. Mintzberg (1994) made a strong point that strategic management performed effectively is much more than about the work of the chief executive officer on his or her own managing the strategy context, processes and content. There has been since the 1980s an increasing appreciation of the strategy work of top managers inspiring and working with internal and at times external strategists (i.e., management consultants), and middle-line managers to achieve better strategic thinking and innovation outcomes (Mintzberg, 1994; Tushman & O’Reilly, 1997). These strategy workers are required to work together to efficiently harness organization resources deployed at the network-level, corporate-level, business-level and functional-level in human resources, marketing, finance, information technology and operations for the firm to succeed. How strategy workers do this varies from firm to firm and industry to industry (Hart, 1992; O’Shannassy & Hunter, 2009). This is what we study. Strategic management plays a crucial role in big business, the small and medium-size enterprise (SME) sector, the private sector, the public sector and the not-for-profit sector. Strategic management is equally vital to the performance and success of the big business executive, the SME general manager, the new venture entrepreneur and the not-for-profit general manager to provide a contrast of the influence of the field and where it is applied. Firm size does have an important impact on the strategic choices made by the general manager – see Merchant (2014) for a wider discussion. If we as a community of academics deliver quality, relevant and useful research findings and then disseminate these findings with impact across the community, our work can inform the future work of general managers and improve outcomes for their constituents including shareholders, employees, customers and the wider community.

While recent research has begun to validate various engagement antecedents and outcomes, little is known about the effects that work orientation and supportive leadership have on engagement, particularly among millennial workers, the soon to be dominant generational work group globally. To explore these gaps, we studied a particular form of work orientation – those indicating having a ‘calling’ – along with perceptions of how supportive leadership is for study subjects’ current work. Specifically, we posited positive worker engagement relationships for both worker calling and perceptions of leadership support, as well as for their interaction. Drawing upon a United States-based sample of 297 millennial workers, we found a positive relationship for each hypothesis. This study contributes to the expanding literature on the value of understanding how work orientation and leadership perceptions impact important organizational outcomes.","PeriodicalId":379470,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management & Organization","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115574850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the discourse on capitalism is vast in economics and many would say the writings of some economists on the topic of capitalism have been inordinately influential.

McKeown","doi":"10.1017/jmo.2017.16","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/jmo.2017.16","url":null,"abstract":"An understanding of the role of psychology as the study of behaviour and mental processes, has become so much a part and parcel of everyday management that is can be easy to forget just how multifaceted a discipline it is. This 3rd edition of Journal of Management & Organization for 2017 specifically examines some of this depth and breadth through nine papers, which each contribute a distinct view as to the direct link between human behaviour and organizational processes, operations and outcomes. While covering an enormous diversity and richness, the central theme of each of these contributions is that successful management lies in focussing on the human element, not on the work. Jam, Donia, Raja, and Ling start us on this endeavour with a time-lagged study into perceived organizational politics and overall satisfaction on job stress, interpersonal conflict, job performance and creativity. Perhaps not surprisingly to some, the findings show that levels of workplace politics positively influence job stress – with highly satisfied individuals demonstrating higher levels of creativity and job performance. Before practitioners get too excited and rush off to increase the levels of workplace politicking, it is worth mentioning that the paper also suggests that even highly satisfied individuals engage in interpersonal conflict and experience high stress when workplace politics is high! The need to adopt an approach which is embedded within individual context is well known in psychology and, as our second paper shows, just as important in guiding organizational strategy. Karatepe and Olugbade’s article uses career construction theory to examine whether career adaptability mediates the effect of work social support on career satisfaction and turnover intentions. While the results do suggest that work social support boosts career adaptability and career satisfaction, while it mitigates turnover intentions, the article also suggests that career adaptability triggers turnover intentions (read the paper to find out the authors thoughts as to why!). The fact that people do not always behave as expected is taken a step further with the paper by Ismail and Gali which takes us into an exploration of the relationship between performance appraisal satisfaction, job stress and work–family conflict. The findings reveal that job stress fully mediates the relationship between performance appraisal satisfaction and work–family conflict. The links made in this study makes between performance appraisal satisfaction and employees’ psychological responses extend beyond the workplace to acknowledge the important role nonwork life plays for most of us. Our fourth article returns us to the world of work while retaining the focus on how we deal with the negative. Here, Bouckenooghe, Raja, Butt, Abbas, and Bilgrami explore the relationships of negative affectivity with both job performance and turnover intentions. Testing the conventional wisdom that negative affectivity is det","PeriodicalId":379470,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management & Organization","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122552293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While we find no difference between native Danes and immigrants in their perception of transformational leadership, we find that transformational leadership is not a universal predictor of outcomes. Although transformational leadership predicts change in none of the outcomes for immigrants, it does predict change in job satisfaction and well-being for native Danes.
