It focuses on promoting sustainability goals and creating a positive social environment for employees to observe, learn, and internalize the organization's ethical values. Drawing on social learning theory, we conducted two separate field studies to investigate the direct and indirect links between employee perceptions of SRHRM practices and ethical workplace behaviour, as well as the moderating role of supervisor ethical leadership. In Study 1, we analysed three-wave data from 243 employees in Taiwanese organizations. The results show that perceived SRHRM practices shape ethical workplace behaviour both directly and indirectly through cognitive (value commitment) and morality-based (moral ownership) mechanisms. Study 2 validates these findings using time-lagged data from 302 employee–supervisor dyads in Vietnamese organizations. Additionally, this study reveals that the indirect positive relationship between perceived SRHRM and ethical behaviour is stronger when supervisors adopt an ethical leadership style. These findings offer a crucial Asia-Pacific perspective, complementing the predominantly Western-focused views on social responsibility in HRM and CSR research.","PeriodicalId":48445,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management Studies","volume":"63 3","pages":"930-960"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147708235","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}

Specifically, we analyse how different configurations of problem-solving strategies lead to creative business models. We observe the design process of 101 experienced business-model designers in real time, using think-alouds. Applying fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analyses, we reveal configurations that equifinally lead to creative versus non-creative business models. Overall, we find four functional configurations (waltzing with analogies, leaping by analogies, anatomizing analogies, and analysing thoughtfully) and five dysfunctional configurations (meta-analysing, painting by numbers, canvasing, dissecting incompletely, and procrastinating). In particular, we show that using analogies in combination with other cognitive mechanisms is essential for creativity in business model designing and that avoiding complexity can hinder the development of creative solutions. Our configurational theorizing and empirical findings contribute to the cognitive perspective in strategy and advance our understanding of creative processes underlying business model ideation.","PeriodicalId":48445,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management Studies","volume":"63 3","pages":"1479-1508"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/joms.13200","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147708359","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}

The importance of these markets continues to grow as investors, regulators, and consumers increasingly put pressure on companies to account for their broader social and environmental impacts. However, the absence of standardized norms and tools to measure impact may erode trust and lead to ‘impact washing’. This paper examines the process of impact inscription – how actors embed their principles, objectives, and values into artefacts such as measurement tools that shape moral market practices. Drawing on qualitative, in-depth data from Spain's emerging impact investing market, we unpack impact inscription and identify three key mechanisms: demarcating moral market boundaries, accounting for social issues, and redefining governance structures. By driving changes in scope, roles, and incentives, these mechanisms influence the emergence of moral markets and can result in either disruptive change (with the risk of paralysis) or incremental change (with the risk of goal displacement). Our study also prompts a deeper reflection on how measurement tools embed value judgments, shaping how markets internalize social and environmental externalities and integrate them into market exchanges.","PeriodicalId":48445,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management Studies","volume":"63 3","pages":"1229-1263"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/joms.13184","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147708205","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 explore this question by examining how certain German firms' present-day foreign market entry is influenced by their past leaders' support of Hitler and the Nazi Party, or Nazi imprint. We argue that this imprint persists through two mechanisms: (1) internal organizational alertness to their controversial past and (2) external collective memory sustained by Jewish communities worldwide. When Nazi-imprinted German firms consider entering locations where their past might provoke controversy, they tend to seek informational cues from peers with the same imprint. This results in a positive relationship between the number of subsidiaries their peers have in such controversial locations and the number of new subsidiaries established by the focal firm. To illustrate these mechanisms, we argue that the communist purge in the former East Germany has reduced organizational alertness to the controversial past and thus weakened the relationship. In contrast, commemorative efforts by synagogues around the world have strengthened the collective memory, thereby reinforcing the relationship. We employ two longitudinal samples to test these hypotheses, focusing on German firms' entries into (1) non-German cities worldwide with significant Jewish populations and (2) US counties with neo-Nazi hate groups. We obtain robust evidence supporting our hypotheses. By demonstrating the role of extra-organizational carriers in maintaining historical imprints and challenging the notion that inertia alone sustains them, our research advances imprinting theory and sheds light on the role of history in international business.","PeriodicalId":48445,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management Studies","volume":"63 3","pages":"1094-1123"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147708257","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 renewed interest stems from the potential of cooperatives to foster an alternative economic system grounded in democratic, solidary and environmentally conscious values. However, previous studies have not provided a comprehensive analysis of the contradictory nature of cooperatives within a broader inter-organizational and systemic framework. Applying a Marxian perspective on paradoxes and dialectics, we theorize that cooperative firms operating within capitalist economies must navigate the ‘solidarity paradox’ – the inherent impossibility of overcoming market competition through partial and limited solidarity strategies. Drawing on an examination of the Mondragon cooperative group, we illustrate how such a fundamental contradiction manifests itself into multiple paradoxes that are interwoven, mutually constituted and inseparable. The article contributes to critical management scholarship on cooperatives by offering a deeper understanding of how these organizations perpetuate systemic capitalist patterns. It also contributes to paradox and dialectics scholarship by theorizing that paradoxes are not timeless and universal but the result of persistent contradictions inherent to historically contingent organizational forms.","PeriodicalId":48445,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management Studies","volume":"63 3","pages":"1124-1154"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/joms.13175","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147708282","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 propose that the attribution of these gaps to foreign direct investment (FDI) inadequacy – and thus the likelihood of responding with FDI – is also guided by such social comparisons. Specifically, the performance gap becomes a stronger trigger for foreign market investment when underperforming peers are less engaged in FDI than outperforming counterparts, as this highlights the role of FDI scarcity in explaining the gap. Similarly, a firm's lower FDI involvement increases the performance gap's capacity to trigger FDI by making FDI inadequacy a more plausible explanation, whereas extensive existing FDIs shift the blame away from FDI insufficiency. By examining the locus of investment activity under the performance gap, we show that the associated FDI-triggering capacity is limited to institutionally proximate environments where the upside potential for addressing the performance gap can be recognized upfront through current models, methods, and resources. Institutionally distant investments, whose potential evolves through experimentation with the local context, become increasingly unlikely as a firm falls behind its rivals. These findings suggest that a firm's response to the performance gap is shaped by inferences about the causes of underperformance and the clarity of an alternative's capacity to address the gap.","PeriodicalId":48445,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management Studies","volume":"63 3","pages":"891-929"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147708049","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}

Despite decades of research on expertise, we still do not fully understand why such failures persist, and there is a sense that these failures are becoming a crisis of expertise. In this article, we highlight a person's system of beliefs about the meaning of expertise – what we term their lay theory of expertise (LTE) – as an important factor for understanding their engagement with expertise. Through a free response study (Study 1), analysis of social media data (Study 2), and word sorting study (Study 3), we first develop a taxonomy of common LTE elements. We then examine how LTEs affect expert recognition via two experiments with managers (Studies 4 and 5). Study 4 reveals that congruence between the most psychologically active element of a person's lay theory and expert conduct is conducive to expert recognition, while Study 5 highlights that (in)congruence between LTEs and expert conduct can alter how other mental representations (such as gender stereotypes) shape expert recognition. Our work provides a conceptual foundation for exploring variation in the subjective meaning of expertise in future research on expert recognition and engagement, both within and beyond organizations.","PeriodicalId":48445,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management Studies","volume":"63 3","pages":"1264-1302"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147708233","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}

In studying business groups, we find that when one company affiliated with a group commits wrongdoing, the strategies used by other affiliated companies to manage how they are evaluated are only effective when they use tactics that differ from those used by the deviant firm. Specifically, results from three experimental studies suggest that affiliated firms should use differentiated technical and ceremonial impression management tactics to help evaluators distinguish between innocent and deviant companies. Our findings also reveal the conditions for such successful differentiation, demonstrating that it is particularly effective when companies have a history of wrongdoing but can backfire if external stakeholders become aware that these actions are intentionally coordinated. Our findings provide novel insights into the impression management literature by exploring the dynamic interplay between the impression management strategies of connected but noncompeting organizations. We also contribute to the business group literature by revealing the delicacy of coordinating affiliates.","PeriodicalId":48445,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management Studies","volume":"63 3","pages":"1303-1340"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/joms.13186","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147708254","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}
