On this basis, we develop and present a new analytical tool aiming at assessing the heterogeneity of meta-organizations and at providing a novel theoretical account of variations among them. This framework is based on the characterization of three fundamental logics of membership, which relate to the fundamental nature of the inter-organizational relationship that connects a member organization to a meta-organization: (1) the logic of service (members as clients and meta-organizations as service providers) pertains to a market-type form of relationship; (2) the logic of representation (members as represented constituents and meta-organizations as representative intermediaries) pertains to a principal-agent form; and (3) the logic of coordination (members as collaborative partners and meta-organizations as structures of inter-organizational coordination) pertains to a collaborative form. We argue that distinguishing between these three logics of membership is important because each affects the very nature of meta-organizations and has very different (meta-)organizational implications, which also means that the source of differentiation highlighted by our three-logics model can shed important light on core issues of the theory of meta-organizations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47759,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Journal of Management","volume":"41 1","pages":"Article 101394"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143479949","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Responding to this call, this paper employs Bourdieu’s theory of practice to investigate entrepreneurship in two UK cities: Liverpool and Kingston upon Hull (Hull). By adopting an abductive approach, we shed light on shared practical understandings and multi-practitioner entrepreneurial activities. Using the concept of a 'field of entrepreneurship' to elucidate entrepreneurial contexts, our study reveals the dynamics within these settings that encourage agents to engage in entrepreneurial endeavours. In Liverpool, an autonomizing process is observed, wherein agents are drawn into entrepreneurship due to factors such as perceived social capital, ease of access, and adherence to a self-help doxa or ethos. Conversely, in Hull, perceived low entrepreneurial activity prompts agents to form formal alliances and initiatives to bolster the entrepreneurial landscape, leading to a distinct form of homological alliance-building. This research brings a unique empirical application of practice theory to the study of entrepreneurship and context, offering insights into the interplay between agency and structure. By uncovering shared practices facilitating entrepreneurial activities across different contexts, our findings enrich our understanding of entrepreneurial dynamics and inform strategies for fostering entrepreneurship.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47759,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Journal of Management","volume":"41 1","pages":"Article 101393"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143479950","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We also know little about entrepreneurial motivations in the growth phase of enterprises. Therefore, to increase our understanding of the motivations of micro-entrepreneurs who expect to grow their businesses, a qualitative case study followed 27 micro-entrepreneurs in Southern Finland. Drawing on expectancy theory, the study builds and applies a theoretical model of the six dimensions identified for the entrepreneurial motivation of growth-oriented micro-entrepreneurs. Furthermore, the study implies that the level of growth expectation and the entrepreneurial characteristics of gender, education level and entrepreneurial experience are combined with the drivers of motivation and further with performance. In conclusion, we describe a novel growth-oriented microentrepreneurial motivation profile. The findings offer valuable insights for regional actors for identifying and supporting micro-enterprises with growth potential. Further scholarship is recommended to test the theoretical model and explore differences in terms of growth expectations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47759,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Journal of Management","volume":"41 1","pages":"Article 101387"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143479953","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It addresses both cultural aspects and the role of human resource management during post-merger integration. The research thus answers calls for an extension of the job characteristics model within novel settings and offers practical managerial implications. Notably, this study tests Hackman & Oldman’s job characteristics model in the context of CBM&As and extends the model with the additional dimension of cultural friction. To achieve this goal, we use a cross-sectional study design with structural equation modeling on survey data from 142 senior and middle managers who had been actively involved in CBM&As in the two years prior to the study. This research therefore contributes to our theoretical knowledge in the field of CBM&As, revealing micro-mechanisms during sociocultural integration. Building from this, we discuss the positive aspects of cultural friction, notably the cognitive thought processes that it enables. This has theoretical implications on how cultural friction might be conceptualized and operationalized as a micro-founded variable. Equally, it has practical implications concerning the role of HRM in CBM&As. We thus provide recommendations as to how the integration process might be more successfully managed.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47759,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Journal of Management","volume":"41 1","pages":"Article 101390"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143479820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
