Furthermore, it theorizes that a competitive team climate can significantly influence these relationships. The proposed research model was tested using multisource data from a sample of 503 team members and 125 team managers from 58 firms. The results revealed that HPWS are positively associated with both group coordination and relationship conflict, and that both these relationships are moderated by a competitive team climate. This study contributes to the strategic human resource management literature by revealing that HPWS can be associated with team performance through both positive and negative intermediary mechanisms, and that team climate constitutes an important boundary condition that can amplify and inhibit the effect of HPWS on team performance.</p>","PeriodicalId":47916,"journal":{"name":"Human Resource Management Journal","volume":"35 3","pages":"577-590"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1748-8583.12581","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144573852","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}

In our study of university leaders in 60 countries, we find that career trajectories are more similar within than across countries and that the overall organizational context relates to the similarity of career trajectories within the career ecosystem. We identify six distinct career patterns to the top of organizations within the ecosystem of higher education (e.g., ‘university president’ or ‘rector’). Furthermore, we identify several societal and organizational characteristics that are related to the prevalence of specific career patterns. Key findings include that academic leaders' careers tend to follow career patterns within the same organization in countries with low power distance, low labour market flexibility and low meritocracy, as well as in universities with less research focus.

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.

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 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.
