Mega Sporting Events in Developing Nations
This paper presents a pioneering investigation into why street‐level bureaucrats in Egypt perceive the hosting of mega sporting events as necessary or unnecessary. Based on interviews with 36 street‐level bureaucrats, the findings reveal that only a small number of participants view hosting such events as necessary, while the vast majority consider them unnecessary. These perceptions are shaped by both job‐related barriers, which include exclusio…
TMT cognitive and affective trust, psychological safety and corporate entrepreneurship
What enables top management teams (TMTs) to turn trust into entrepreneurial action? This article answers this question by proposing a novel theoretical account to explain why and when trust-based relationships within TMTs create strategic benefits. Drawing on social exchange theory, we examine a moderated-mediation model that shows how: (a) TMT psychological safety mediates the effect of TMT cognitive and affective trust on corporate entrepreneur…
Value Creating Corporate Social Responsibility Strategies of Family and Non-Family Firms
This paper presents a study on how corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategies create value amongst family and non-family firms. Additionally, in our study, we considered the moderating effect of independent directors on the relationship between CSR and firm value. Based on data drawn from companies operating in 61 countries over an 11-year period (i.e. from 2010 to 2020), our findings demonstrate that non-family firms derive market benefits…
When extreme work becomes the norm
Drawing on extreme work and transactional stress literature streams; this paper investigates the mechanisms used by public sector nurses to cope with their extreme work conditions in the fragile state context of Egypt. Our findings, which are based on 24 qualitative interviews, show that, to cope with their extreme job duties, nurses engage in the following four strategies–reassertion of professionalism, submission and fatalism, cronyism, and tem…
The institutional development of Islamic finance in the Middle East
The Islamic finance sector has experienced rapid growth since its commercialisation in the 1970s. For many Muslim countries that gained independence from their colonial rulers, developing a financial industry that represented their faith and value belief systems gave the population a sense of identity. In our study, we traced the historical development of the Islamic finance sector in the Middle East. We applied a post-colonial perspective and th…
The interrelationships between corporate political activity and corporate environmental performance
Language affects almost every aspect of management in multinational enterprises (MNEs) but little is known about the impact of language on environmental performance. Our study investigates how language diversity affects the environmental performance of MNEs worldwide. We show that the grammatical structure of a language – specifically the first pronoun drop – is an important factor explaining the environmental performance of firms. Our analysis o…
The role of digitalization and inclusive climate in building a resilient workforce
Organizations need resilient employees to navigate and leverage constant change and maneuver in turbulent, disruptive contexts. As such, it is imperative to advance a nuanced understanding of drivers and enablers of employee resilience, especially in the current business context of pervasive digitalization and the growing practice of work‐from‐everywhere. Our research explores how digitalization in the organization is reflected in the employees' …
Generational differences in organizational leaders
This paper analyzes the influences of generational differences in organizational leaders (founders) on work meaningfulness dynamics in the high-tech sector. Based on a novel interpretative phenomenological analysis of five Finnish case firms, we found that generational differences between leaders concerning work meaningfulness visibly existed. The differences manifested themselves in the form of different views concerning material well-being, hou…

Antecedents and implications of territorial servitization
This paper examines the key antecedents and implications of territorial servitization in Central Europe and the Mediterranean. Territorial servitization is analyzed using 17 Spanish and 38 German NUTS-2 regions during the period 2010–14. The results indicate that, in terms of market size and economic activity, territorial servitization is significantly higher in regions with more knowledge-intensive business services (KIBS) deepening and where ai…
Beyond brokering
The role that sourcing agents, autonomous peripheral actors located in developing economies, play in the governance of working conditions in global supply chains has been greatly underexplored in the literature. The present article reports on an in-depth qualitative study of garment supply chains that examined the boundary work of Indian sourcing agents aimed at dismantling or bridging the boundaries that affect the interaction between western bu…
Corporate social responsibility and multinational enterprise identity
This paper investigates how a US gold mining multinational enterprise (MNE) – one of the world's largest – operates its subsidiaries in various parts of the world by creating a unique ‘glocal identity’. The US parent company has experienced several significant challenges across its network of subsidiaries. These challenges were mostly linked to the enforcement of the MNE's identity and culture in its host environment. We contribute by describing,…
Sustainability and organizational behavior
Organizational behavior is a well‐established academic field comprising a comprehensive and wide range of extant literature. In contrast, sustainability and micro‐foundational literature constitute significant but nevertheless more relatively recent emergent bodies of work with each having developed particular predilections in the manner in which they are cast and discussed. There is scope, therefore, to bring to bear a range of organizational be…
An organizational ethic of care and employee involvement in sustainability‐related behaviors
We expand on the emergent research of an ethic of care (EoC) to theorize why and how an organizational EoC fosters employee involvement in sustainability‐related behaviors at work. Across two studies, we explore the socio‐psychological mechanisms that link an EoC and involvement in sustainability‐related behaviors. The results of Study 1, in which we applied an experimental design, indicate that an EoC is significantly related, through employees'…
Mergers and acquisitions process
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to advance cross‐cultural management during mergers and acquisitions (M&A), an issue that remains poorly understood despite a large body of literature accumulated over many years of study and experience. Design/methodology/approach Based on literature review and case studies of both successful and unsuccessful companies, this paper clarifies the concept, the assessment and the use of corporate culture and its …
The progressive model, an economic reconciliation process for regions in conflict
Purpose The main purpose of this paper is to propose a model of economic development able to generate a cross-border sustainable economic development, in regions in conflict. The Italian industrial district model implements a community industry synergy process led by the authorities according to a top-down approach. The cluster model implements a clustering specialization process led, in the American version, by a bottom-up approach and in the Eu…
HR practices during post-merger conflict and merger performance
An extensive body of literature has investigated financial and strategic variables as predictors of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) performance without finding clear relationships. The literature does not investigate remedies for conflicts in M&A. This paper aims to develop a knowledge-based theory of M&A integration, drawing upon research on HR practices in M&A, the resource-based view of the firm, and international management. The study also exp…
