Consequently, research risks underutilizing valuable findings, thereby reducing both theoretical and practical progress. To address this gap, we review empirical process studies of organizational paradoxes published in leading management and organization journals. We develop a framework that explains how time horizons (short, medium and long), process styles (sequential, cyclical and entangled) and temporality shape what becomes visible about organizational paradoxes, drawing implications across microscopic, mesoscopic and panoramic perspectives. Our analysis shows how different process-temporal configurations reveal distinct dynamics, from micro-trajectories to historical sedimentation and reactivation. We identify the strengths and limitations of short-, medium- and long-term studies, as well as cross-horizon mechanisms for understanding paradox processes. Based on these insights, we draw implications to advance paradox theory and propose a research agenda. We argue that this agenda can guide cumulative theorizing about core paradox constructs and strengthen links between paradox and process scholarship.</p>","PeriodicalId":48326,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management Reviews","volume":"28 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ijmr.70032","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148286588","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite their potential, IORs are inherently conflict-prone due to the tension between collaboration and organizational autonomy. Conflict and dispute management (CDM)—the choices organizations make to prevent, address and resolve disagreements, conflicts and disputes—is therefore essential for sustaining IOR continuity and performance. Yet prior research has largely treated CDM as a static and discrete choice rather than as a dynamic process. As a result, little is known about how CDM practices interact, evolve and generate trade-offs over time within the same IOR. To develop a more integrated understanding of CDM dynamics, we reviewed 302 articles across management, law, economics and psychology. Our analysis identifies three research streams focused on adjudication, governance and behavioural strategy. These streams emphasize different phases of IOR development, levels of conflict intensity and corresponding CDM practices. Although this diversity has generated valuable insights, it has also produced conceptual silos and inconsistent distinctions between disagreements, conflicts and disputes. To address these limitations, we introduce an interdisciplinary perspective suited to capturing CDM dynamics, from handling situational frictions to legal adjudication. Specifically, we propose (1) a conceptualization of CDM across three interdependent dimensions: arenas, instruments and stances; and (2) a processual framework linking CDM design to execution and tracing CDM trajectories across IOR conflict lifecycles. In doing so, we lay the foundation for an integrated understanding of CDM dynamics in IORs and a forward-looking research agenda.</p>","PeriodicalId":48326,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management Reviews","volume":"28 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ijmr.70036","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148459786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We answer this question by curating a virtual special issue of the 10 most influential articles published in the <i>International Journal of Management Reviews</i> between 2001 and 2025, identified through a two-stage process combining bibliometric ranking, using the Composite Bibliometric Influence Score, with structured editorial judgement. A comparative reading of these 10 articles reveals 5 recurring dimensions of excellence: the diagnosis of a consequential intellectual problem, rather than a mere gap in coverage; methodological rigour and transparency treated as argument rather than procedure; a distinctive theoretical output (a model, framework, taxonomy or research agenda) that synthesis alone could not have produced; an article architecture whose structure mirrors the logic of the analysis; and practical relevance integrated into, rather than appended to, the theoretical contribution. Together, these dimensions show that influential reviews do more than organise existing knowledge: They impose conceptual order, resolve genuine ambiguities and equip scholars with tools for further inquiry. We close by setting out priorities for the next generation of review scholarship, including greater interdisciplinary reach, methodological pluralism and sustained engagement with societal grand challenges.</p>","PeriodicalId":48326,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management Reviews","volume":"28 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ijmr.70041","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149093407","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the well-established research on trust, the scholarship on distrust remains fragmented and lacks systematic synthesis. This review addresses this gap by examining the antecedents, consequences and repair mechanisms of public distrust across organizational contexts. We conducted a systematic literature review of 54 peer-reviewed articles published between 2006 and 2025, following the six-step framework of Durach. Using the Gioia methodology, we identified first-order categories such as misinformation, lack of transparency and unmet expectations and mapped them onto the multilevel framework of interpersonal, organizational and inter-organizational distrust, complemented by sectoral distinctions between public sector organizations, SEs and business enterprises (BEs). The findings indicate that the antecedents of public distrust include policy failures, corruption and communication breakdowns, whereas the consequences range from reduced compliance and reputational decline to systemic instability. Across all organizational types, transparency emerges as the most frequently applied repair mechanism, yet its effectiveness often depends on combining it with relational, cultural and structural approaches that address underlying expectations about organizational accountability and integrity. This review advances conceptual clarity on trust and distrust by consolidating public distrust as a distinct evaluative construct, developing a multilevel, cross-sectoral framework and clarifying how organizational responses address distrust following institutional failures. It further delineates the conditions under which trust and distrust should be analytically distinguished, particularly when stakeholders evaluate different organizational attributes. The study also identifies gaps in the literature, including the under-representation of SEs and BEs, and calls for more diverse methodological approaches to deepen understanding of distrust and its repair.</p>","PeriodicalId":48326,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management Reviews","volume":"28 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148899255","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}

This distinction helps identify how different activities influence the four work recovery experiences (i.e., psychological detachment, relaxation, mastery and control) across at-work and off-work contexts. It provides insight into what activity characteristics and user behaviours determine recovery outcomes (i.e., active vs. passive activities, positive vs. negative affect and usage duration). The paper also explains why different activities may lead to certain recovery dimensions or sometimes impair recovery (e.g., excessive usage and addiction). It further extends theoretical understanding by incorporating non-work antecedents and clarifying inconsistent terminology. In doing so, it deepens our understanding of this phenomenon and reconciles inconsistent findings by reframing apparent paradoxes. This challenges prevailing views that ICTs are detrimental to well-being and productivity, demonstrating that non-work-related ICT activities can facilitate work recovery by replenishing depleted energy and promoting vigour, thereby improving health and work outcomes. Specifically, the review critically synthesizes 54 empirical studies identified in the Scopus database from the initial development in 2007 to 2025, holistically mapping the recovery process and its antecedents and outcomes, while proposing a promising research agenda across these three areas. This review indicates that engaging in non-work-related ICT activities that are active and generate positive affect during micro-breaks is most effective for achieving comprehensive recovery. It also offers practical implications by providing actionable guidance for individuals and organizations to enhance health and work-related outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":48326,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management Reviews","volume":"28 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ijmr.70038","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148915411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, discussions, regarding the challenges of attaining relevance and the proposed solutions, tend to be repetitive and reflect little progress. To advance this discussion, this article is organized into three parts. First, through a problematizing review, we identify the use of the theory-practice gap as an overarching frame that drives the dominant discussions in the research relevance literature. Using that identification as a starting point, we organize the currently fragmented literature. Next, we delve deeper into three problematic assumptions that stem from using the theory-practice gap as a framing device and offer a detailed critique. Finally, drawing on our review and critique and on insights from related literature beyond research relevance, we propose three alternative conceptualizations of relevance that aim to address these shortcomings. We provide a path for future research by suggesting that research relevance can be reconceptualized as practical utility, as a cyclical process, and as etched in organizational processes, and highlight how these reconceptualizations can be put into practice.</p>","PeriodicalId":48326,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management Reviews","volume":"28 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149009889","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}

Although the field has grown substantially, its research base remains fragmented. This is largely due to the multitude of disciplines upon which influencer research draws and to the diverse perspectives applied to the subject. While some studies highlight the benefits of social media influencers’ endorsements for brands, others stress the potentially adverse impact of influencer persuasion‐based content on the receivers. The persuasive nature of influencer communication on social media is implicitly acknowledged in past literature, across domains. However, there is a lack of comprehensive understanding of how receivers evaluate and respond to influencers’ persuasive communication and the conditions that promote, or inhibit compliance with their message. Such understanding is pivotal for reconciling existing fragmentation and advancing the field. This paper systematically reviews the influencer literature, integrating knowledge from psychological theories of persuasion. Theoretically, it offers an integrative perspective on how influencers’ attempts at persuasion are evaluated by receivers, while proposing an extensive agenda for further research in this rapidly burgeoning domain. The paper also highlights applications for business practice and implications for policymakers.","PeriodicalId":48326,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management Reviews","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.1,"publicationDate":"2026-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149151778","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}
