Analysing an unbalanced panel of 2145 firm-year observations with 422 firms over the period 2004–2013, we found support for our predictions that while strategic change negatively and significantly affects CSR conformity, it positively and significantly impacts CSR differentiation. Additionally, our results show that analyst coverage strengthens the relationship between strategic change CSR conformity and CSR differentiation. Our findings expand the optimal distinctiveness, strategic change, and analyst coverage literature and provide insights into the complex and multifaceted aspects of CSR activities. Finally, this study's findings can equip strategic leaders and investors with knowledge as they face complex decision-making in their firms and investments.","PeriodicalId":48342,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Management","volume":"36 2","pages":"810-827"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143762353","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}

To determine which factors encourage customers to participate in sharing goods and services on sharing platforms, and when they do so, this study conducts a meta-analysis of empirical findings from 192 independent samples, extracted from 167 studies involving 171,344 customers. As the results clarify, customer-related factors (customer motives, customer competence, customer satisfaction and subjective norms) are key antecedents. However, platform-related factors (service quality of the platform, trust in the platform, performance expectancy and effort expectancy) and service-provider-related factors (service quality of the provider, trust in the provider and provider gender) also exert meaningful effects. To assess the generalizability of these antecedents, the meta-analysis includes contextual moderators, namely customer type (previous provider experience), provider type (private/professional supply), platform characteristics (rivalry on the platform, prestige of ownership and services/goods) and exchange type (for-profit/non-profit and ownership transfer). The findings advance the literature on the sharing economy and provide specific guidance for platform managers about when to focus on certain antecedents.","PeriodicalId":48342,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Management","volume":"36 2","pages":"781-809"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1467-8551.12871","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143761984","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}

Employing a sample of 3826 UK firm-years, we analyse the dual nature of nationality diversity, recognizing its potential to contribute expertise and reduce groupthink, while also posing risks of conflict and reduced cohesion. We construct measures of the positive and negative aspects of diversity to provide robust evidence that nationality diversity-as-variety within a board of directors is positively associated with firm value, whereas diversity-as-separation has a negative moderating effect on this relationship. Additionally, board longevity weakens the negative effects of diversity-as-separation. This comprehensive approach improves our understanding of the complex relationship between board diversity and firm performance. Our results are informative for researchers because they demonstrate the importance of adopting less simplistic diversity measures in empirical studies. They are also instructive for policymakers, who can benefit from a more nuanced understanding of the issues raised when firms are mandated to increase demographic diversity on their boards. Finally, our study provides information to boards to help them maximize the benefits of diversity while minimizing potential costs.","PeriodicalId":48342,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Management","volume":"36 2","pages":"762-780"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1467-8551.12872","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143762299","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}

Academia, like many other organizational forms, demands unwellness. This paper argues that as well as intensifying the struggles of mothering academics like us, the pandemic also rendered us visible, forcing the body subject into view and, in doing so, offering some (albeit small) resistance to the ‘anatomizing urge’ in academia. Following discussions on agentic visibility, we propose the idea of agentic invisibility and a corresponding discussion of its loss during the pandemic. We argue that we could no longer choose to showcase what was excellent or to deliberately conceal what was not. Engaging in agentic visibility and invisibility tactics became very difficult, and this had many downsides, including the loss of liminal spaces and the difficulties in our private lives that were suddenly on display. What we choose to focus on, though, is a more caring future. Through the work of Donald Winnicott, we suggest that the difficult and sometimes painful spaces created by the pandemic forced us to reject excellence and to accept the ‘good enough’ as a way of being that should be respected. In this paper, we contribute to discussions concerning the reformative mode of ordering used by home-working mothers during the pandemic. Though we cannot and will not speak for others, we use our dual roles as mothering academics to illustrate broader problems for others who continue to be marginalized by academia and for those who simply seek a more balanced engagement with academia. We seek an acceptance of the ‘good enough’ for all people, from those in power and from each other.","PeriodicalId":48342,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Management","volume":"36 2","pages":"560-570"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1467-8551.12866","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143762288","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}

Using a sample of US listed firms for the period 1989–2017, we find that firms respond to the growing climate risks by enhancing efficiency in human capital investment, primarily through a reduction in over-hiring, consistent with our conjecture that firms adopt more prudent and efficient recruitment strategies in reaction to higher climate risks. Cross-sectional analyses suggest that such an improvement in human capital investment decisions is more salient for firms with poor corporate governance, less intellectual capital and facing greater industry competition and less pronounced for firms with more resilient assets against climate change. By exploiting two exogenous events that cause significant increases in climate risk as quasi-natural experiments, we conduct difference-in-differences analyses and find consistent evidence that the firms engage in more efficient human capital investment in response to both the physical and regulatory risks of climate change. Collectively, despite the overwhelming negative impact of climate change, our study reveals that such risks can play a disciplinary role in promoting more efficient managerial decisions on human capital investment.","PeriodicalId":48342,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Management","volume":"36 2","pages":"633-649"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1467-8551.12868","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143762316","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}

To achieve this objective, we rely on two complementary theoretical perspectives. One perspective proposes that the organizational embeddedness of ground-level governance actors, ordained by high-level governance actors (such as the board of directors), obstructs their discretion. In contrast, the other perspective, building on institutional complexity, propounds that multiple institutional demands facilitate the situated agency and discretion of ground-level governance actors. Consistent with the emerging multilevel research on institutional complexity, we combine these two perspectives by including both the structural and static meso-level factors (i.e. organizational embeddedness) as well as actors' situated agency. Utilizing three comparative cases, we demonstrate that internal auditors' ability to exercise discretion is facilitated (obstructed) when organizational embeddedness enables (constrains) the cohabitation of multiple institutional logics at the organizational level. In doing so, we identify organizationally situated agency as an underlying factor driving internal auditors’ justification approaches in their governance work.","PeriodicalId":48342,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Management","volume":"36 2","pages":"686-706"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1467-8551.12865","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142188631","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}
