The role of the physical environment is crucial because leaders inevitably occupy physical spaces that vary across contexts. In this research, we find that the grandeur of the physical environment, specifically in its ability to induce awe, enhances attributions of charisma for leaders who are not already known to be charismatic. First, in a field experiment, we show that a real business leader is attributed with more charisma when delivering a speech in an awe-inducing (vs. an ordinary) environment. In three follow-up experiments, we find that awe-inducing physical environments amplify charisma attributions and that this effect was diminished or absent for individuals already known for their charisma. Together, our findings contribute to the leadership literature by demonstrating the importance of the physical environment in influencing whether followers consider their leaders to be charismatic.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48450,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Organizational Behavior","volume":"46 4","pages":"580-602"},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143897233","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}

Existing research has relied on a “lack of fit” perspective (i.e., women have less person–job and person–organization fit compared with men) to explain why this bias detracts from women's work outcomes. Building on this, we propose a novel social exchange cost explanation for these effects. We argue that FWC bias promotes a belief in supervisors that female subordinates are less reliable in fulfilling work duties and, therefore, less able to reciprocate resources invested in them. This concern, we maintain, is manifested in their diminished cognitive trust in their female (vs. male) subordinates. In turn, we argue that supervisors, because of their lower cognitive trust, will reciprocate by engaging in greater ostracism of their female (vs. male) employees. To test these predictions, we conducted three studies, including an experimentally randomized instrumental variable design, a multisource field survey using supervisor–subordinate dyads, and an experiment in which we utilized a bias-disrupting strategy. Overall, our findings suggest that women are perceived as having greater FWC than men, leading supervisors to have less cognitive trust in them relative to men, which in turn, manifests in greater ostracism of female subordinates.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48450,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Organizational Behavior","volume":"46 4","pages":"548-565"},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143897230","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}

The fundamental assumption underlying this trustee-centric perspective is that it complements the dominant trustor-centric perspective and enables a more comprehensive understanding of how trust manifests and operates in the workplace. Unfortunately, our critical review of 121 felt trust studies reported in 87 manuscripts reveals major problems in multiple areas (conceptualization, measurement, theorizing, and research methods) that limit this field's ability to achieve this potential. To remedy this, we build on existing frameworks, best practices, and exemplars from the (felt) trust and meta-perceptions literature to outline a constructive redirection of the field.

We identify three conceptual limitations that impede progress studying social skills and social goal attainment: redundancy (i.e., jangle fallacy), conflation (i.e., haphazard mixing of different conceptual types), and drift (i.e., jingle fallacy). We used best practices for concept revision and development, assisted by the use of machine learning, to undertake domain-level conceptual clarification, analyzing 756 definitions across six decades of research. This process led us to propose 15 core social skills-related concepts (a 42% reduction). These concepts were located within the social skills framework to begin to depict how they might relate to one another during the pursuit of social goals.

The results of two experiments and a multisource weekly survey conducted for 10 consecutive weeks reveal that newcomers' excessive ingratiation triggers supervisors' embarrassment and interaction avoidance, and ultimately hinders newcomer socialization; in contrast, seamless ingratiation evokes supervisors' pride and information sharing and ultimately promotes socialization outcomes.

These initiatives, aimed at fostering a more inclusive and representative workplace, have sparked considerable debate among practitioners and scholars (Hellerstedt et al., <span>2024</span>; Opoku-Dakwa & Rice, <span>2023</span>; Prasad & Śliwa, <span>2024</span>; Thomason et al., <span>2023</span>). While some scholars are of the belief that DEI is a beneficial necessity for organizations, others have questioned how effective DEI initiatives really are and if they have any real long-term impact. Recently, tensions around these debates have risen and despite research advances, many challenges remain (DiTomaso, <span>2024</span>; Roberson et al., <span>2024</span>; Thomason & Sitzmann, <span>2023</span>).

The authors argue that societal pressures have driven organizations to adopt symbolic measures of diversity, such as mission statements and DEI units, which often focus more on appearance than substantive change. This symbolic emphasis, they suggest, results in unintentional adverse outcomes, such as allegations of insincerity and the recurrent establishment of progressively unattainable diversity objectives. The authors also highlight the risks of prioritizing visible diversity (e.g., race, gender) over deeper aspects of diversity (e.g., expertise), potentially undermining the true benefits of a diverse workforce. They champion a more circumspect approach to DEI program development and implementation.</p><p>The counterpoint article, “Despite the Haters: The Immense Promise and Progress of DEI Initiatives” by Christine Nittrouer, David Arena Jr., Elisabeth Silver, Derek Avery, and Mikki Hebl, promotes the positive impact and promise of DEI initiatives. They emphasize the historical roots of DEI initiatives and the significant progress that has been achieved. In the face of pushback and blowback by “the haters,” the authors underscore the empirical evidence supporting the effectiveness of DEI programs. They discuss various successful DEI initiatives that focus on both representation and inclusion and highlight the long-term benefits that emerge from such initiatives.
