Does it Pay to Patent Green Innovations? Stock Market Reactions to Family and Nonfamily Firms’ Green Patents
Are green patents granted to family firms perceived more favorably by the market than those granted to non-family firms? Using a sample of 8918 green patents granted to family and non-family firms between 2014 and 2018, our study shows that it depends on the attributes of the green patent. Integrating the green innovation and family firm literatures with signaling theory, we develop a theoretical framework that highlights the need for family firm…
Self-Interest over Ethics: Firm Withdrawal from Russia After the Ukraine Invasion
Drawing on contrasting theoretical perspectives of self-interest and utilitarian/ethical motivations, we examine the degree to which a company's pace of departure from Russia after the Ukraine invasion is driven by its exposure to the Russian market. Moreover, we investigate whether firm-level political and non-political risks influence the propensity to delay or expedite the exit/withdrawal process. Contrary to utilitarian expectations advocatin…

Understanding Best Practices in Managing Financial Constraints Among US Congregations: A Machine Learning Approach
This study investigates factors by integrating resource dependence, institutional, organizational ecology, and entrepreneurship theories to understand factors associated with U.S. congregational income using a data-driven approach. I analyze 76 features across 1,702 congregations from the National Congregations Study (2006-2007, 2012, 2018-2019) using an AutoML approach. The gradient boosted random forest model identifies that successful congrega…
Horizontal pay dispersion as social context for predicting employee performance outcomes associated with diagnostic‐ versus criterion‐referenced performance feedback
Despite its recognised centrality as an organisational tool, there are decades of mixed findings relating to the employee performance benefits associated with different forms of performance feedback. The ambiguity present in the literature has been attributed to multiple factors, including feedback purpose and the context within which feedback occurs. Integrating these broad themes, we develop a model expanding the breadth of relevant social cont…
Out of the frying pan into the fire: Displaced workers’ vocational skill specificity, self-employment, and income
Image isn’t everything: Personality attractiveness, physical attractiveness, and self-employment earnings
Will Self-Employment Set You Free from Poverty? Evidence from Two National Surveys from Economically Developed Countries
In this study, we test whether self-employment is associated with lower poverty and whether poor self-employed individuals alleviate the distance from the poverty line more so than individuals who are not self-employed. We examine both the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID; 1980–2019) from the US and Household, Income, and the Labor Dynamics in Australia (HILDA; Panel Study of Income Dynamics (2001–2018). We find that the odds of being self-em…

Interactive research framework in logistics and supply chain management: Bridging the academic research and practitioner gap
Logistics and supply chain management (SCM) practice has grown in scope and complexity in recent years. A challenge for research in logistics and SCM is to create value for both academics and practitioners. The purpose of this paper is to introduce interactive research (IR) into the domain of logistics and SCM research and to describe the lessons learned from the implementation of this research approach. Compared to traditional empirical research…
Strategic choice in times of stagnant growth and uncertainty: An institutional theory and organizational change perspective
This conceptual study provides insight into the strategic behaviors of firms facing slow growth in times of economic stagnation. Recognizing the inevitability of periods of economic stagnation—with another downturn expected as early as 2022, we note that most industry classifications are considered mature and characterized by a few extremely large companies in each industry group. We introduce the Fortune 500 as an important cross-industry collec…
Block by block: A blockchain-based peer-to-peer business transaction for international trade
Heterogeneity and complicated processes, risk of information leakage, and higher costs are some of the challenges that stem from third-party involvement in business transactions. This study proposes a novel mechanism to address the shortcomings of third-party-dependent transactions in the context of international trade. Moreover, we provide business process modeling, deployed in a business transaction scenario, to furnish a deeper perspective on …

Joined by remoteness: An exploratory comparison of regional board networks in Sweden
Studies of the global corporate elite have shown how networks of board interlocks form among large companies around the world. With interest in the conditions for businesses in the periphery, this exploratory study describes differences in regional board networks by comparing remote and central regions in Sweden. The regions share national culture, language and legislation and have similar demographics. We study business contexts far from the int…
Ecological determinants of smart home ecosystems: A coopetition framework
Nearly every industry classification is experiencing slow growth and increasing concentration. Seldom do researchers have an opportunity to observe an emerging industry segment with as much promise as the smart home ecosystem, an exponentially growing industry. The study presents a novel approach using industry life cycle model and a coopetition framework to understand the process of the ecosystem development. Building on recent literature sugges…
Prescription opioids and new business establishments
The effects of opioid abuse on health are widely documented, however, its effects on labor market outcomes have only recently become a topic of scientific inquiry. Whereas recent economic studies focus on various measures of labor market participation, the present study analyzes whether opioid prescription rates are associated with the impetus for entrepreneurial activity. By drawing on samples of US counties and US neighbor county-pairs across s…
Struggling with social capital: Pakistani women micro entrepreneurs' challenges in acquiring resources
A crucial aspect of successful venturing is social capital. In contrast to traditional Western-oriented research where social capital is construed positively, we found that in the traditional, patriarchal society of Pakistan, social capital puts high restrictions on women micro entrepreneurs - where social capital prevents or slows venturing efforts. Results also show that although women do get some selective access to resources from family membe…

Still Searching (Systematically)1 for Entrepreneurial Discoveries
Unlocking the black box: Exploring the link between high-performance work systems and performance.
With a growing body of literature linking systems of high-performance work practices to organizational performance outcomes, recent research has pushed for examinations of the underlying mechanisms that enable this connection. In this study, based on a large sample of Welsh public-sector employees, we explored the role of several individual-level attitudinal factors--job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and psychological empowerment--as w…
Variations in R&D Investments of Family and Nonfamily Firms: Behavioral Agency and Myopic Loss Aversion Perspectives
The behavioral agency model suggests that to preserve socioemotional wealth, loss-averse family firms usually invest less in R&D than nonfamily firms. However, behavioral agency model predictions are inconsistent with the well-accepted premise that family firms have a long-term investment orientation. We reconcile these seemingly incompatible predictions by adding insights from the myopic loss aversion framework, which deals with the impact of de…
Measuring entrepreneurial passion: Conceptual foundations and scale validation
High-Performance Work Systems and Job Control: Consequences for Anxiety, Role Overload, and Turnover Intentions
This study examines relationships among high-performance work systems (HPWS), job control, employee anxiety, role overload, and turnover intentions. Building on theory that challenges the rhetoric versus reality of HPWS, the authors explore a potential “dark side” of HPWS that suggests that HPWS, which are aimed at creating a competitive advantage for organizations, do so at the expense of workers, thus resulting in negative consequences for indi…

Skin Tone and Self-Employment: Is there an Intra-Group Variation among Blacks
The purpose of this paper is to formally evaluate whether odds of entry into self-employment decrease as skin tone darkens for Blacks in the United States. Extending past work on inter-group differences in Black-White self-employment, based on data from National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997, with darker skin tone the odds of self-employment decline. Having spent more time in labor force further decreases the likelihood of self-employment for…

Height–income association in developing countries: Evidence from 14 countries
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to assess whether the height-income association is positive in developing countries, and whether income differences between shorter and taller individuals in developing countries are explained by differences in endowment (ie, taller individuals have a higher income than shorter individuals because of characteristics such as better social skills) or due to discrimination (ie, shorter individuals have a low…

Light pollution and insufficient sleep: Evidence from the United States
OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to test whether light pollution is associated with lower or insufficient sleep. The American Medical Association recently issued a public notice cautioning against the effects of nighttime light on sleep quality and quantity. Light pollution, through the suprachiasmatic nucleus, disrupts circadian rhythm by reducing the secretion of melatonin, a sleep-inducing hormone. METHODS: I used 282 403 individual…
