This study explores <em>propriety beliefs</em>—citizens’ individual beliefs about the appropriateness and legitimacy of public organizations—as a micro-level component of organizational legitimacy. This question is relevant because <em>legitimacy-as-perception</em> research has largely overlooked how individuals form propriety beliefs in inter-organizational contexts. We address this research gap by theorizing and testing <em>horizontal legitimacy spillovers</em>—a mechanism in which legitimacy judgments about one organization influence perceptions of another, connected organization. Using two pre-registered factorial survey experiments with German citizens (n = 2510), we demonstrate that citizens draw on their propriety beliefs about a collaborating private partner when evaluating a public organization engaged in a public–private partnership. Our findings challenge the assumption that legitimacy judgments are made in isolation, showing instead that they are socially constructed through associative cognitive processes. These insights highlight how organizational legitimacy is shaped in networks and partnerships, underscoring the importance for public organizations to carefully consider potential legitimacy spillovers when entering collaborations with private actors.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48290,"journal":{"name":"European Management Journal","volume":"44 4","pages":"Pages 683-697"},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148710127","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}

The question is: How can we learn from and support organizations to not only adapt and rebound to their pre-adversity state following a crisis event (organizational resilience) but, importantly, to emerge stronger after a crisis subsides by building critical capabilities, to better withstand future crises, a process which we term transformative organizational transilience. Our paper investigates this question through 25 longitudinal qualitative case studies of social purpose organizations (SPOs) in Bangladesh before, during and after the Covid-19 crisis. We find that those SPOs which engaged in social innovation whilst balancing the dual objectives of supporting vulnerable beneficiaries (their primary social mission) and maintaining internal financial stability (their economic imperative) were better able to withstand and emerge stronger post-crisis. These SPOs bounce forward by leveraging adaptation, innovation and learning rather than merely returning to their previous state. This paper offers a four-phase conceptual process model of organizational transilience through social innovation, contributing to organizational transilience research. Conversely, it contributes to social innovation scholarship by highlighting the role that social innovation plays in building organizational transilience.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48290,"journal":{"name":"European Management Journal","volume":"44 4","pages":"Pages 698-715"},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148710165","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}

While theory and empirical evidence suggest that relational climates influence outcomes at the organizational level and individual prosocial behaviors, there is a lack of research on how relational climates at the team level affect team performance. Based on longitudinal multilevel analyses of a six-country sample of 291 virtual teams engaged in an online strategy game, we find that communal sharing and authority ranking team relational climates positively influence team performance growth over time. We advance the literature by investigating how team relational climates differentially affect virtual team performance over time.

Specifically, organizational knowledge shapes cognitive processes of top managers' attention to discontinuous technology to articulate radical opportunities through learning stages of theorizing initial conceptual solutions, representing real-world practical solutions, and revising initially theorized solutions. The empirical results based on surveyed data of 125 firms in Vietnam provide support for all stated research hypotheses.

The three contributions illustrate distinct positions within this matrix: religion as an invisible collective resource structuring coordination, as a negotiated and contested identity shaping individual coping strategies, and as a double-edged invisible resource influencing emotional regulation and performance. Across these configurations, religion does not occupy a fixed position but rather continuously shifts across visibility and constraint, actively shaping the conditions under which action and coordination become possible. This leads to a reconceptualization of management itself not as the governance of visible practices and behaviors, but as the regulation of invisible forces that sustain, orient, and constrain collective and individual actions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48290,"journal":{"name":"European Management Journal","volume":"44 3","pages":"Pages 371-376"},"PeriodicalIF":7.3,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148246265","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}

Using survey data from 327 expatriates, we test the direct effects of job scope and career adaptability on PCCD and investigate the moderating role of gender in the job scope–PCCD relationship, informed by the frog-pond model and its foundation in social comparison theory. Findings reveal that both job scope and career adaptability positively impact PCCD, supporting their critical role in expatriate career development. Additionally, gender moderates the job scope–PCCD relationship, with women experiencing a stronger effect of job scope on the development of career capital dimensions compared to men. These results highlight the importance of gender dynamics in global careers while reinforcing the broader role of job scope and career adaptability in career capital accumulation. This study contributes to expatriation research by demonstrating that career capital development is multifaceted, shaped not only by individual career adaptability and job scope but also by gender.
