We reflect on three systemic challenges that might hinder the rise of qualified women scholars to leadership positions in business schools: (a) The masculine social structure of business schools, (b) a muddled approach to performance evaluation, and (c) an under-representation of research topics that affect women in the workplace. Drawing on the extant science in gender bias and gender equity, combined with the collective expertise and experience of the author team, we offer 12 actionable solutions for gender-inclusive leadership in business schools. We believe that addressing these challenges could benefit all members, not just women, because it could signal more equitable pathways to multiple business school stakeholders and intended beneficiaries, such as students, donors, practitioners, and policy makers.","PeriodicalId":52018,"journal":{"name":"Irish Journal of Management","volume":"55 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91282892","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To help resolve this controversy, we take a socioemotional wealth (SEW) perspective to theorize that family members’ desire to preserve their SEW favors the pursuit of M&A strategies that are both beneficial (industry-related M&As) and detrimental (domestic M&As) to M&A performance. We further theorize that the desire to preserve SEW leads to family firm idiosyncratic SEW resources that help family firm acquirers, on average, achieve better M&A performance than nonfamily firm acquirers. Meta-analytic results based on 51 primary studies covering 242,123 M&A deals are in line with our predictions. Thus, our study contributes to the literature on family firms and M&A performance by explaining how the different M&A strategies chosen by family firms have positive and negative consequences for M&A performance. Our theory and findings have implications for future family business and M&A research.","PeriodicalId":52018,"journal":{"name":"Irish Journal of Management","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83478074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accordingly, current option wealth attenuates risk-taking while prospective option wealth amplifies risk-taking. In the context of corporate irresponsible behaviors, this study attempts to advance the BAM by theorizing how the presence of conditions that give rise to distributive and procedural injustice in CEO compensation can further amplify the positive effects of CEO prospective option wealth on risk-taking, thereby destroying stakeholder value. Our findings, based on a longitudinal cross-sectional sample of 8,669 firm-year observations for the period 2001 to 2018, support our theorization that CEO perceptions of unfairness in compensation amplify excessive risk-taking, thereby increasing the likelihood of corporate social irresponsibility. Our study has important implications for advancing the BAM and for the study and design of executive compensation.","PeriodicalId":52018,"journal":{"name":"Irish Journal of Management","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82132598","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Effects of Entrepreneurial Orientation Within Organizations: The Role of Passion for Inventing and Organizational Identification","authors":"Sebastian C.

However, our understanding of whether and how EO shapes dynamics within organizations is still underdeveloped. Thus, by integrating EO and social information–processing theories, this study develops and tests a cross-level contingency model that describes how and when EO cascades through an organization—bridging firm, supervisor, and employee levels. We conducted a three-source, three-wave study involving 280 supervisors and 1,214 employees from 94 organizations to test our model. The results show that firm-level EO is positively related to employees’ creative performance and that supervisors’ and employees’ passion for inventing serves as the central serial mediators for these links. The results also reveal that these cascading effects of EO do not occur unconditionally but depend on an important boundary condition—that is, the extent to which supervisors identify with their organizations. A follow-up study of 238 supervisors from various firms provides further support for the social information–processing perspective of our model. It shows that the link between firm EO and supervisors’ passion for inventing is mediated by perceived normative expectations for creativity. Taken together, these findings offer a new perspective on the internal dynamics of EO, uncover a crucial boundary condition, and provide insights for the effective implementation of EO.","PeriodicalId":52018,"journal":{"name":"Irish Journal of Management","volume":"240 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76920207","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Scholars should avoid using old data if none of these conditions exist.

Wiersema, Marie Louise Mors","doi":"10.1177/01492063231173421","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/01492063231173421","url":null,"abstract":"Despite increasing attention to gender diversity on corporate boards, we have only limited understanding of what occurs within the boardroom when women are present. Prior empirical research has used various theories to infer how board gender diversity may influence firm outcomes, but without identifying the theoretical mechanisms underlying women directors’ influence on the board. To address this gap, we conducted interviews with women and men who have collectively served as directors with over 200 publicly listed companies in the United States and Europe. While prior research has suggested that the diverse cognitive perspectives women directors bring influence board decision-making, our study reveals novel insights as to the underlying mechanisms. Specifically, we contribute to the board gender diversity literature with the finding that women behave in ways contrary to existing board norms. By coming to board meetings highly prepared, being willing to acknowledge that they do not know something, asking questions, and getting things on the table, women impact the dialogue and interactions in the boardroom. Thus, our study sheds light on how the presence of women influences board dynamics, which has implications for corporate governance. Our findings also challenge prevailing gender theories as to how women are likely to behave, in that we do not find that women conform to gender stereotypes. Yet, we also find impediments to women directors’ ability to gain influence, in that men directors may not always acknowledge them or afford them respect as equal board members.","PeriodicalId":52018,"journal":{"name":"Irish Journal of Management","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84417798","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Electronic banking, mobile phone payments and other\u0000innovative financial services have become an integral part of every person's life. FinTech is a new, fast-growing part of the financial services industry,\u0000so they have limited understanding of emerging phenomena (Anagnostopoulos, 2018). Fintech analyses are important not only for understanding\u0000financial innovation, but also for all aspects of finance in terms of consumer adaptation using fintech (Chen, 2016). Investments in FinTech are reaching\u0000record highs, so it is often said that FinTech institutions can change the banking system and reduce its popularity. Authors Jünger and Mietzner (2019)\u0000analysed in their article on the digitization of banking transactions that consumers tend to choose FinTech companies more than banks when it comes\u0000to transparency policies. In this context, the preferences and perceptions of the Mauritian population are analysed when it comes to adoption, awareness,\u0000current and future use of fintech services, which defines the scientific novelty of this topic. Consumer adoption attitudes of fintech services in Mauritius\u0000were analysed using an Extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). A questionnaire was designed and sent to the population of Mauritius where\u0000176 responses were obtained. The data was analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) and a multiple regression was used to test\u0000the hypotheses and find out if the independent variables (subjective norms, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, trust and perceived risk) have\u0000a positive influence on the dependent variable (attitude) of users in the adoption of fintech services. Next, subjective norms, perceived usefulness,\u0000perceived ease of use, and trust were found to positively influence consumer attitudes when choosing fintech services, while perceived risk did not of\u0000positive influence on consumer attitudes when adopting fintech services, which provides more information to the literature on fintech services\u0000personalization using TAM.

Countries have started to invest more money into global education. Numerous short and long-term education and exchange arrangements are created with this aim. One of the most popular of these exchange agreements is the Erasmus+ Exchange Program. Based on this, the study sought to examine the causes, incentives, expectations, and experiences that led students participating in the Erasmus+ Exchange Program in Klaipėda, Lithuania, to participate in Erasmus as well as the benefits of Erasmus to students. The study used a qualitative research methodology, and the semi-structured interviewing approach was utilized to gather data. Comparative analysis and content analysis were used for the gathered data. The analyses conducted revealed that most of the expectations of the Erasmus-participating students were similar. For example, traveling in Europe, socializing, experiencing a different educational system, and language development. Additionally, it has been observed that Erasmus affects students in both positive and negative ways. It has been observed that these effects are within the framework of personal development, education, socialization, language development, and cultural experience. Students who enrol in Erasmus with similar goals and expectations may experience the program in quite diverse ways from one another. It has been noted that most students choose the country for Erasmus, particularly considering economic considerations, and it has been emphasized that in some cases their economic predictions may not come true.","PeriodicalId":52018,"journal":{"name":"Irish Journal of Management","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74887887","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to the authors, a lot of attention is paid\u0000to the role of human resources management and what result it creates in the organization. A key factor in the success of today’s organization is\u0000competent employees in which proper investment is required in order to get the desired performance results. Armstrong (2010) presents the concept\u0000of a high-performance work system, emphasizing that a high-performance work system becomes a tool that determines the effective performance\u0000results of both individual employees and the organization as a whole. In the article, the problematics of the research of the influence of highperformance work system practices on the performance results of employees is revealed, and the theoretical approach to the influence of highperformance work system practices on employee performance is conceptualized. Based on the constructed theoretical model, the research\u0000methodology of the influence of high-performance work system practices on the performance results of employees is based, and the methodology has\u0000been developed and the influence of high-performance work system practices on the performance results of employees has been empirically\u0000evaluated. Based on the results of a quantitative research (n=476), a model of high-performance work system practices influencing employee\u0000performance was adjusted, which includes three practices: recruitment and selection; reward policy; the results of employee performance evaluation,\u0000task performance, and adaptive performance. This model can be implemented in organizations to improve employee performance by ensuring high\u0000employee productivity.","PeriodicalId":52018,"journal":{"name":"Irish Journal of Management","volume":"142 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86235512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
