However, EM plays a frequently indicated but less emphasized role in an organization's knowledge. The existing body of EM research is characterized by diverse perspectives and contradictory findings, creating a significant gap in our understanding of how organizations can effectively access and leverage the critical knowledge carried by employees. This integrative review aims to bridge this gap by synthesizing diverse mobility perspectives, delving into theoretical underpinnings, and exploring the dynamics of knowledge flow. The review is guided by the two research questions: (1) How is EM conceptualized as a knowledge flow mechanism in the existing literature? and (2) What mechanisms can organizations employ to use EM as a knowledge development strategy? Through a comprehensive analysis, we present a framework encompassing seven strategies: knowledge dissemination, knowledge creation, knowledge combination, knowledge adoption, knowledge spill-in, knowledge retention, and knowledge protection. This framework contributes to the understanding that organizations can use internal mobility to disseminate embedded knowledge and create new knowledge. Inward mobility plays a crucial role in enabling organizations to combine (similar) knowledge and adopt specific knowledge from external sources. Interestingly, outward mobility, despite the loss of employees, serves as a mechanism of reverse knowledge flow. Additionally, organizations employ strategies to control outward mobility by retaining and protecting critical knowledge. Building on the identified strategies, the paper suggests promising avenues for further research, thereby paving the way for scholars and practitioners to consider EM as a knowledge development strategy.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48145,"journal":{"name":"Human Resource Management Review","volume":"34 2","pages":"Article 101014"},"PeriodicalIF":11.4,"publicationDate":"2024-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139677833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through this review, we find that no consensus is reached on the definition of team virtuality, and its dimensions are not fully identified. Moreover, we find that team virtuality positively influences individual and team performance through two mechanisms: resource and information, and motivation and ability. However, it also exerts negative effects through three mechanisms: cognition, emotion and relationship, and technology and media. Based on these findings, we propose several potential directions for future research: (1) integrate four characteristics of team virtuality by redefining its concept and dimensions based on process virtualization theory, (2) integrate the positive and negative effects of team virtuality using a resources conservation-based model, in which team virtuality positively and negatively affects individual and team performance through personal resource gain and personal resource loss, respectively, (3) integrate the different effects of team virtuality by exploring boundary conditions, and (4) integrate the dual effects by investigating the curvilinear relationship between team virtuality and its outcomes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48145,"journal":{"name":"Human Resource Management Review","volume":"34 2","pages":"Article 101013"},"PeriodicalIF":11.4,"publicationDate":"2024-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139646109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After reviewing previous research, we provide a new definition of the employee work habit construct. Our definition distinguishes employee work habits from general habits in three ways: a) they affect organizational effectiveness criteria, b) they are embedded in an organizational context, and c) they are associated with using organizational rewards. We also provide a process model that explains how employee goal-directed behavior can evolve into work habits.

From our review of 119 empirical studies, we find that there are six overarching CMI types (and 14 sub-types): (1) communication (informing, framing, dialogic), (2) support (training, coaching, organizational change support), (3) involvement (consulting, co-creating, co-deciding), (4) reinforcement (rewards and goal-setting), (5) social influence (role modeling and peer exchange), and (6) coercion. Furthermore, based on our results, we encourage researchers to continue to strengthen an intervention-focused and context-sensitive approach to organizational change in the following underexplored areas: conceptualizing and measuring CMIs, bundles and interactions of CMIs, boundary conditions of CMIs, unintended consequences of CMIs, and the use of digital technology to enhance CMIs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48145,"journal":{"name":"Human Resource Management Review","volume":"34 1","pages":"Article 101000"},"PeriodicalIF":11.4,"publicationDate":"2023-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135664227","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
