We develop the concept of spatial mimetic gravity to estimate the mimetic pressures a focal organization feels from its geographically proximate and distant peers. We examine the population of craft beer brewers in the United States between 2013 and 2019 and find that the propensity to offer a stock ownership or profit-sharing plan is a function of a focal brewery's spatial proximity to its peers and their prominence. We help explain why some firms offer broad-based equity-sharing and profit-sharing plans and others do not.

The impact of these tensions and ambiguities on HR professionalism remains understudied. Using the framework of “bounded professionalism”, this study explores how HR practitioners in business organizations (RBOs) and staffing agencies (RSAs) navigate professional and organizational tensions. Through a qualitative methodology, we conducted 60 semi-structured interviews with HR practitioners from a variety of organizational settings. By examining the complicated experiences of HR practitioners, we highlight the nuanced ways in which they manage and mitigate professional and organizational tensions. This paper introduces and further develops the concept of “bounded professionalism nexus,” which implies that collaboration between professionals across organizational boundaries may exacerbate the experience of bounded professionalism. Specifically, we identify the triggers and implications of “bounded professionalism nexus”, demonstrating how cross-border organizational relations contribute to suboptimal performance in both RSAs and RBOs. According to our findings, these tensions are not only prevalent, but also have significant implications for HR professionalism. This study concludes by examining the broader implications of the “bounded professionalism nexus” for HR professionals and offering suggestions for mitigating these tensions.</p>","PeriodicalId":47916,"journal":{"name":"Human Resource Management Journal","volume":"35 2","pages":"518-538"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143749981","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, we examined the mediating role of perceived organizational support for competency development (POSCD) on the association between (perceived) employability culture and self-perceived employability, also considering boundaryless career attitude (BCA) as a moderator. We sampled 422 Italian employees across two-time points over a period of four months, and we analyzed results by means of multi-group structural equation modeling. We found that POSCD fully mediated the association between (perceived) employability culture and self-perceived employability. As for moderation effects, the association from POSCD to employability was positive only at lower BCA values, impacting on the mediated effect of employability culture. Our findings contribute to the RBV of the firm by highlighting the importance of aligning the organizational culture with concrete actions (i.e., POSCD) to enhance employability. Moreover, by highlighting the moderating role of BCA, we contribute to the HRA model by suggesting that organizations should also take into account employees' differences as regards their career attitudes. As for the employability literature, we stressed the predictive role of contextual factors (e.g., POSCD) hence counterpoising the predominant agency perspective. Our study offers implications for HR practices, advocating tailored competency development that considers individual career attitudes and emphasizes the importance of developing an organizational culture that supports employee involvement and growth, hence suggesting that both horizontal and vertical integrations are needed for delivering beneficial HR bundles.</p>","PeriodicalId":47916,"journal":{"name":"Human Resource Management Journal","volume":"35 2","pages":"476-494"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1748-8583.12575","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143749877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I provide a review of research interests to argue that HRM scholars and the business practitioners they commonly inform have not grasped this opportunity fully, in that the treatment of race remains inadequate and informed by an erroneous view of race as neutral and irrelevant in influencing organisational outcomes. I contend that this presents a danger that racism will continue to thrive. I argue that grasping this opportunity fully requires a rethinking of the approaches commonly adopted by HRM scholars and practitioners to acknowledge and embrace fully the significance of race (and anti-racism) in influencing organisational outcomes.

With the data from 181 FLMs and 311 employees reported to these FLMs, we find that FLMs' perceived enabling HR practices mediate the relationship between high-performance work systems and FLMs' willingness to be flexible (WTBF). Furthermore, WTBF mediates the relationship between FLMs' perceived enabling HR practices and consistent HR implementation and between FLMs' perceived enabling HR practices and employees' individualized support. Our study offers new insights by highlighting that an effective HR system is not merely improving FLMs' HR competency and knowledge but capturing FLMs' WTBF in carrying on a broad range of HR tasks.
