We address this oversight by adopting a social network approach to examine relational energy (i.e., how energized one person is when interacting with another) as a form of high activation positive affect likely to influence innovation implementation. We test our hypotheses using a sample of researchers in a large pharmaceutical research firm (Study 1). Our results indicate that the number of people an employee goes to for political support who report being energized by that employee is positively related to innovation implementation performance. In contrast, the number of people an employee seeks out for political support who are not energized by that employee has negative implications for innovation implementation. The network prominence of an individual’s energized network contacts also relates to implementation performance, with this effect being stronger for employees not in a managerial position. A scenario-based experiment (Study 2) provides support for the causal linkage between feeling energized by a co-worker and one’s willingness to provide instrumental help to the co-worker. Implications for theory and future research are discussed.","PeriodicalId":471028,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings - Academy of Management","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135872268","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}

The only two papers available on PRQ focus on downward comparison (Jahantab et al., 2021; Li et al., 2022), yet this may only consider one side of the coin. Drawing on social comparison theory and upward comparison perspective, this paper examines perceived coworker relative overqualification on their subsequent knowledge behavior and to examine the underlying mechanisms and boundary conditions. Through the 315 employee-coworker dyadic data collected at the three time points in East China, we found that when the cooperative goal interdependence between employee and coworker is high, the perception of coworker’s relative overqualification will cause benign envy of employees, which in turn promote employees to engage in knowledge seeking from coworker. However, when the competitive goal interdependence between employee and coworker is high, the perception of coworker’s relative overqualification will cause malicious envy of employees, which in turn promote employees to engage in knowledge sabotage towards coworker. The theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed.","PeriodicalId":471028,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings - Academy of Management","volume":"86 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135872271","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}

It can also make conflicts worse. Business for peace scholarship seeks to identify those activities, structures, and opportunities for the private sector to have positive influences on conflict and violence in society and to provide warnings for how business can make conflicts worse. Two research gaps have been identified by scholars in this field: On the one hand, there is a lack of evidence on the impact of business in general in active, high-intensity conflict zones. On the other hand, there is a dearth of evidence on the impact of small and medium enterprises in conflict contexts. This paper addresses these literature gaps. We use the unique setting of post-coup Myanmar to examine the complex interlinkages between small and medium enterprises and an active, high-intensity violent conflict. In the paper, we investigate the combination of economic rationality and civic duty that contributes to building peace and democracy when there is a lack of a functioning government and a collapse of the rule of law.","PeriodicalId":471028,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings - Academy of Management","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135872273","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}

In this work, we explore whether, when, and how using those features may impact retailer demand. We tackle this question via a multi-method study. We begin by conducting a controlled experiment on Prolific.co, presenting subjects' with actual Google Places business profiles for a set of Black-owned restaurants in Chicago. We randomly vary the presence of Black-owned and Women-owned labels in these profiles and assess subjects' expectations of popularity and quality along various restaurant dimensions. Our results demonstrate that the Black-owned label, in particular, drives significant increases in all outcomes, with the effects arising primarily from Black and democratically liberal subjects. Next, we conduct an archival analysis of the effect label adoption has on the physical foot traffic that retailers receive, based on SafeGraph's mobile patterns database. Our difference-in-differences estimations yield consistent results; we find evidence of a positive average effect on foot traffic volumes. Further, we show that a rise in visitors from liberal-leaning geographies drives these effects. We discuss implications for digital platform operators and for retailers.","PeriodicalId":471028,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings - Academy of Management","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135872430","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}

Using data of 1,071 fund partners involved in 1,295 buyout deals by 117 funds we find that TMTs with greater diversity in socio-demographic characteristics tend to achieve higher money multiples or internal rate of return (IRR). However, we also observe that greater occupational diversity has a negative net effect on performance. These results suggest that diversity arising from demographic characteristics is generally beneficial, while voluntarily acquired attributes may require additional coordination efforts. Additionally, our study finds that the distribution of team members and the associated diversity levels on individual deals within a fund can impact fund performance. We find an even distribution to be positively related to fund performance for occupational diversity and negatively for socio-demographic diversity. However, for funds with high levels of socio-demographic diversity, even distribution across deals is also positively associated with fund performance. Lastly our findings indicate that CEO involvement positively moderates fund performance, while industry specialization has a negative moderating effect. Overall, our findings could be useful for limited partners and fund-of-funds in investment processes and provide guidance for general partners when making staffing decisions.","PeriodicalId":471028,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings - Academy of Management","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135872431","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}

It has been studied and applied across the human resource domain including recruitment and selection, training, performance management, as well as within the customer service setting. This study has the potential for expanding that application within the context of organizational change efforts. Our data show that change agents rely on three focal areas (personal commitment to the project, resonance of relationships with colleagues, and work-life balance) as they gauge their role and maneuver through the highly complex and often stress-inducing nature of change efforts. We report that as affective qualitative components (executive sponsorship, shared vision and organizational readiness) in change efforts were less prominent, change agents become more inclined to seek and engage in external activities to maintain work/life balance. Interestingly, their outlook on project outcomes were more positive, notwithstanding final evaluations by third parties. This research offers insights to project management leaders and consultants that will enable them to develop and encourage a positive emotional setting throughout the project lifecycle as well as project change agents so they will focus on their self-care and well-being during organizational change efforts","PeriodicalId":471028,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings - Academy of Management","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135872433","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}
