Though Keynes’ prediction has not yet come to fruition, his formulation of a ‘freedom from pressing cares’ as one of the most important consequences of a systematic reduction in working hours remains provocative. The standard full-time work week remains at 40 h over five days, but some organisations have adopted the four-day work week (4DWW) for improved work–life balance. As such, we empirically investigate how individuals manage such newly found leisure time. Through 36 interviews with employees at four Danish organisations, each of which treats Fridays as a day free from work, we develop three analytical categories of self-management processes: <em>residual work</em>, <em>reproductive leisure</em> and <em>self-actualising leisure</em>. These three categories enhance our understanding of the 4DWW in particular and of systematic work reduction initiatives more generally. The analysis shows how the ‘freedom from pressing cares’ allowed by the 4DWW is used to extend the work week, formalise gendered divisions of domestic labour and produce entrepreneurial subjects, thus expanding the current discourse on the 4DWW to address the broader societal and cultural implications of additional leisure time.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47759,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Journal of Management","volume":"42 1","pages":"Article 101445"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147414282","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}

However, to date, few studies have focused on whether and under what conditions CEO succession affects firms' trade-offs between internal and external CSR. We integrate the upper echelons and agent theories to address this theoretical omission. We use empirical data on Chinese listed companies from 2010 to 2020 and first find that CEO succession has a negative effect on CSR. Second, we find that in the context of CEO succession, incoming CEOs are more likely to reduce external than internal CSR. However, these relationships are weakened when CEOs have longer expected tenure, more financial slack and less industry competition. Further research shows that the negative effect of CEO succession on CSR and the asymmetric effect of external and internal CSR diminishes when the new CEO is an internal CEO, when the CEO is a family CEO, or when customer concentration is high. We provide new insights into our understanding of whether and under what conditions incoming CEOs weigh the claims of different stakeholders.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47759,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Journal of Management","volume":"42 1","pages":"Article 101451"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147413834","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}

Through a qualitative analysis of interviews with 29 representatives of 25 ESOs and their funders, all operating in South Africa, the study offers a nuanced account where grand challenges emanate from both world society and the local context. In turn, paths envisioned to address them aim for both stability and disruption. It is shown how entrepreneurship’s malleability allows respondents to accommodate a range of high-stakes translations. In addition, the study indicates that ESOs are more focused on the individual and organizational level, while funders aim more at the systemic level, testifying to the importance of looking at multi-sector partnerships. In sum, the study contributes to previous research on entrepreneurship and grand challenges by demonstrating the malleable nature of high-stakes translations by ESOs and their funders.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47759,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Journal of Management","volume":"42 1","pages":"Article 101452"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147414281","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}

Integrating temporal comparison theory with social power research, we demonstrate that structural power changes influence prosocial behavior beyond immediate power levels. Individuals' reactions to power change depends on their engagement in contrast versus assimilation judgments. Specifically, power loss diminishes individuals' psychological sense of power in assimilation judgements, while it enhances it in contrast judgments. Conversely, the effects of power gain on psychological sense of power are more nuanced. Our findings contribute to a deeper understanding of how power change influence prosocial behavior, emphasizing the role of temporal comparisons in shaping responses to power change.

This paper explores recent governance discourses and practices responding to this across political, industrial, NGO and educational contexts to promote STEM interests and career prospects to young women in a case from Denmark. In doing so, we unpack (I) how governance discourses perform a politics of necessity to promote STEM to more (women) students, and (II) how such politics manifest in promotion events with promising ideas of a more ‘feminine’ STEM future through local governance efforts. Yet, we also show how gender is performed in contradictory ways as a governance matter; at once contesting and reproducing stereotypes in striving towards a diverse STEM future.
