However, this body of work remains fragmented, and there is a need to synthesize and develop a more comprehensive and in-depth theoretical understanding of this vibrant area of research. This article aims to address this need by providing an integrative theoretical framework and outlining an agenda for future research. The framework encompasses five key elements of discursive legitimation: strategies, positions, foundations, temporality, and arenas. Drawing on this framework, we present a research agenda that highlights key topics related to these elements along with theoretical and methodological considerations cutting across them. Our contribution lies in conceptualizing discursive legitimation as a multifaceted and dynamic phenomenon, offering a complementary framework to existing models and paving the way for future studies, and placing discursive strategies—which have been the focus of prior research—in context by highlighting the critical role of key discursive elements in enabling or constraining legitimation processes.","PeriodicalId":54212,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":13.5,"publicationDate":"2024-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139988568","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}

Here, we explore the implications for the human resources (HR) function as organization-level responses to scandals cannot occur without individual-level changes in employee behaviors—the domain of HR. We apply event systems theorizing to uncover the nature of the scandals through notions of strength, space, and time to better understand the range of possible outcomes for HR function roles. Empirical data are presented from in-depth qualitative case studies carried out in five large multinational corporations in the pharmaceutical, chemical, and financial services industries. Subsequently, we uncover how organization-level scandals punctuate the equilibrium of organizational operations, facilitating a recalibration of the balance between the potentially competing institutional logics of moral legitimacy and business priorities. We furthermore challenge universal HR role typology theorizing regarding the direct influence of external stakeholders on the role that HR can adopt inside organizations. Overall, we demonstrate that organizational responses to corporate scandals require individual-level and collective employee behavior change, placing the HR function at the intersection of managing risk, compliance, and legal requirements.","PeriodicalId":54212,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":13.5,"publicationDate":"2024-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139938995","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}

The 2030 Agenda elements implementation for Health and Quality of Life in terms of technological advances enables the of healthcare delivery optimization. The impact of the elements of digital health and care can be observed on the patient care delivery side and also on the healthcare professionals’ performance side. It has the potential to contribute to reducing, in particular, preventable and avoidable mortality, which represent large economic losses in terms of lost productive years. This study focuses on the assessment of job satisfaction with digitalization among doctors and nurses working in hospitals. The research was conducted through a questionnaire survey. The respondents were doctors and nurses working in hospitals in Slovakia. The study evaluates the satisfaction of doctors and nurses with the digitization of work according to the basic characteristics of the respondents by means of correspondence analysis. The goal of the study is to investigate the bureaucratic burden of nurses and doctors regarding digitalization of work in health care institutions as a modern society development prerequisite based on smart technologies. The research was conducted on primary data collected between April 2022 and November 2023 through a questionnaire survey among doctors and nurses working in Slovak hospitals as part of the research task of the APVV 19-0579 project. Forty hospitals in Slovakia were contacted and the sample consisted of 212 doctors and 752 nurses. The normality of the data distribution was carried out by means of histogram and Gaussian curve when being found out to be not normally distributed. Subsequently, they were analysed through descriptive statistics and correspondence analysis. Correspondence analysis was used to investigate the relationship between digitization and administrative burden to the basic characteristics of the respondents, and the relationships were visualized through a correspondence map. The impact of digitization of work and administrative burden is to be also analysed, as smart healthcare elements should have a positive impact on reducing or simplifying administration within the work of doctors and nurses. The results have revealed that, both doctors and nurses lack application of new technologies that along with digitization of work in medical practice bring up a lot of benefits. The results of the study highlight the importance of digital transformation in healthcare, identifying the impact of technologies usage on various aspects of medical practice, such as speed and accuracy of diagnosis. Elements of digitization implemented into healthcare systems bring a modernization effect and faster data availability to the daily work of doctors and nurses.

This study aims to analyze the trends and patterns in publications related to assessing commercial real estate\u0000tenants, shedding light on the key topics addressed and the individuals driving research in this domain. Commercial real estate encompasses a vast and\u0000diverse sector, ranging from office spaces and retail stores to warehouses and industrial facilities. Within this sector, the dynamics of tenant assessment\u0000plays an important role in shaping property performance, investment outcomes, and market positioning. The ability to effectively evaluate potential\u0000tenants is essential for property owners, investors, lenders, and managers, as it directly impacts revenue streams, occupancy rates, and overall asset\u0000value. To address the complexities of tenant assessment, this study employs a comprehensive bibliometric approach, drawing on a wide range of\u0000scholarly literature spanning from 2000 to the present. By systematically analyzing existing research, the study aims to identify key themes, trends, and\u0000contributors in the field of commercial real estate tenant assessment. Through this analysis, it seeks to provide valuable insights into the global landscape\u0000of research in this domain. Understanding the contributions of various stakeholders can help to foster collaboration, exchange of ideas, and collective\u0000efforts to address critical challenges and advance knowledge in the field. The findings of the study have several implications for theory, practice in the\u0000commercial real estate sector. By elucidating the key themes and trends in tenant assessment research, the study contributes to theoretical frameworks\u0000that can inform future research endeavors.

The standard definition of foreign direct investment\u0000is given by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), according to which FDI is defined as the establishment of a lasting\u0000interest in and significant degree of influence over the operations of an enterprise in one economy by an investor in another economy. FDI has proven\u0000to have an expressed importance mainly in allowing the transfer of technology – especially in the form of new types of capital inputs – that cannot be\u0000achieved or at least in the form and volume required through financial investment or trade in goods and services. FDI has already proven that it can\u0000boost competition in the domestic input market, but also motivates the employment of domestic labor. In recent decades, the global map of inflow and\u0000outflow FDI has changed considerably. Traditionally, FDI originated from developed economies, which have recently gained significant ground in the\u0000share of FDI flows between geopolitically aligned economies. In particular during financial crises there is substantial evidence that FDI can lead many\u0000developing countries to consider it as an inflow of selected private capital and in certain cases even as a single capital inflow. Such a thing finds support\u0000in the tendency of economists who insist on the free flow of capital across national borders because it enables capital to have more favorable\u0000preconditions for return at the highest rate. However, the tradition has recently been changing, making the largest sector for FDI projects to be closely\u0000related to software and IT services. Investors see rising commodity prices, increased geopolitical unrest and political instability, as well as high inflation\u0000in an emerging market as the most likely risks at this time. The official data provided by World Bank (WB), International Monetary Fund (IMF), OECD,\u0000as well as the local National Bank and State Statistical Office are unanimous that in the last 20 years, North Macedonia has maintained a continuous\u0000increase in FDI, but unfortunately, at a comparative level with the countries of the region, it continues to lags behind. The North Macedonian authorities\u0000are progressing towards the Precautionary and Liquidity Line (PLL) objectives, including preserving public finances, reducing energy subsidies, tackling\u0000high inflation and ensuring financial stability, which will also increase the possibility real for FDI inflows.","PeriodicalId":54212,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":13.5,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140519898","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}

A growing body of research suggests that there is opportunity in the past and highlights how dormant or declining industries have been revitalized. We take this line of research a step further by examining how entrepreneurs (reanimators) revive long-since-failed organizations (revenants), a process we refer to as reanimation. Thus, rather than create a “new” venture, many entrepreneurs are turning to revive defunct or “dead” organizations. On the one hand, the act of reviving a dead organization suggests that reanimators perceive value in the failed organization's past; otherwise, why not start something new? On the other hand, theory predicts organizational actors might likely avoid such associations with the past since they are rooted in failure. As such, understanding what elements of an organization's past an entrepreneur retains or discards and how organizational leaders successfully reanimate failed firms is critical to our understanding of entrepreneurship and tradition. During this reanimation process, we observe a fundamental tension between imagination and custodianship. We find that the entrepreneur's ability to resist the urge to leverage their imagination through innovation and instead act as a custodian by honoring the past influences the organization's prospects for survival post-reanimation. Our theorizing offers guidance for understanding the inherent tensions between innovation and tradition in firms with rich histories, the potential downsides of unchecked imagination, and the importance of gaining stakeholder acceptance before exercising the authority to innovate.","PeriodicalId":54212,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":13.5,"publicationDate":"2023-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138950135","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 its popularity, relatively little is known about its potential drawbacks. Through extending conservation of resources theory using dual process models of decision-making, we develop and test a theoretical model that demonstrates how and for whom perceived flexibility can improve or impair work-life outcomes. Across two studies utilizing panel data collected in three waves, we demonstrate that planning is a key mediating mechanism that allows individuals to translate the discretion afforded by flexibility into enhanced work-life balance and reduced exhaustion. Furthermore, we find that planning among those with a low future temporal focus, who are not inclined to plan by default, was strongly influenced by environmental discontinuities (e.g., disruptions to routines). Specifically, while flexibility increased planning when individuals experienced discontinuities, flexibility reduced planning among individuals in stable and familiar circumstances, which ultimately impaired work-life outcomes. Our model offers a useful theoretical lens to understand how individuals manage, and occasionally mismanage, the expanded discretion offered by flexibility.","PeriodicalId":54212,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":13.5,"publicationDate":"2023-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138951658","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 diversity suggests that time offers both significant depth and relevance as a lens for research. However, the diversity of approaches also harbors ambiguity and a lack of coherence, hindering scholars’ ability to integrate insights and harness the full potential of time as a research lens. To address this issue, we review the diverse time-based assumptions, domains, and concepts in extant research. Our review reveals three dominant manifestations of the temporal lens: time as resource, time as structure, and time as process. We analyze and synthesize insights of the three lenses to offer an integrative framework to support future research. The framework informs and reveals opportunities for time-based research by foregrounding connections and contrasts among the lenses. Building on this framework, we discuss two principal pathways for future research: connecting the three lenses through the study of tensions at their interfaces, and enhancing the three lenses through the study of more complex conceptions of time.","PeriodicalId":54212,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":13.5,"publicationDate":"2023-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138962853","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}

Our study highlights the interplay of these two theories by examining how industry-level learning-by-doing (LBD) rates affect firms’ choices related to acquisitions and alliances. An industry LBD rate reflects the extent to which performance is dependent on own production experience. We argue that this rate also reflects the nature of knowledge in an industry: the higher the LBD rate, the more knowledge is created by own production experience and deeply embedded within routines in the industry. We explain how this suggests that while higher LBD rates might aggravate the overpayment risks emphasized by information economics, they might mitigate the misappropriation risks highlighted by transaction cost economics. We examine how these opposing effects can lead to complementary or opposing predictions about the relationship of LBD rates to several transaction decisions, including the likelihood of any transaction regardless of form, whether transactions that occur are more or less likely to be structured as acquisitions or alliances, and whether alliances that occur are more or less likely to be structured as joint ventures and with limited functional scope.","PeriodicalId":54212,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":13.5,"publicationDate":"2023-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138966674","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 many insights from the burgeoning literature on the second-order effects of executives’ characteristics on stakeholders’ evaluations and reactions, the literature lacks a comprehensive framework with core tenets by which stakeholders form evaluations of executives’ characteristics that drive their actions (or, reactions, as it were) based on such characteristics and the ensuing outcomes. In turn, knowledge from the proliferating literature on how stakeholders react on the basis of their evaluations of referent organizations’ executives’ characteristics is fragmented, consisting of a series of disconnected findings and attendant insights scattered across various theoretical and topical domains. We conducted a framework synthesis of the literature to iteratively derive a conceptual framework from extant research—which we call the stakeholder view of upper echelons—that synthesizes knowledge at the intersection of executives’ characteristics and stakeholders’ reactions around this framework. In doing so, we provide the foundation for future research to help extend knowledge in this important domain.
