社会网络对企业管理人员职业生涯成功影响的实证研究

本文从社会网络的角度出发,基于社会交换理论,建立了社会网络对企业管理人员职业生涯成功的作用模型,并指出社会网络对职业成功两者之间的关系是通过网络利益(资源和职业支持)的中介作用实现的.本文以407位企业管理人员为研究对象,采用结构方程模型对假设模型进行检验,研究结果验证了网络利益(资源和职业支持)的中介效应.研究同时得出,社会网络各指标会对网络利益产生影响.相对于网络规模和网络异质性,网络密度和关系强度对于网络利益的获取有更为重要的影响.在网络利益对职业生涯成功作用的过程中,网络资源仅对管理人员职业满意度产生显著的正向影响,而职业支持对管理人员的职业生涯成功各指标都有显著的影响.文章最后指出了研究的局限性和未来研究方向.     

高管团队组成特征与行为整合关系研究

本研究运用公共组织、国有企业、民营企业和欧美外企等四类组织的325个高管团队样本,从行为视角探索了高管团队行为整合的结构和测量,重点研究了高管团队组成特征与行为整合的关系。实证结果发现,高管团队行为整合可分为决策参与、开放沟通和团队合作三个行为维度,高管团队规模、信任与高管团队行为整合变量显著相关。高管团队的多项异质性与行为整合显著负相关,这些异质性包括最高学历、海外学习考察时间、工作经历、每周工作时间、进入方式、团队任期、经营战略偏好等。     

变革型领导对R&D团队创新绩效的影响机制研究

R&D团队是企业技术创新的重要组织形式.本研究从变革型领导这一视角探讨了其对R&D团队创新绩效的影响及中介机制.本文运用结构方程模型方法,通过对316个R&D团队样本的实证研究发现,R&D团队领导者的变革型领导风格对团队创新绩效有积极影响,而知识分享与知识整合正是这种影响的中介机制.     

企业主集权:边界理论的新观点

与企业主关系亲近会让经理人获得更多授权吗?本文借助边界理论的分析框架提出了一种新的理论逻辑,强调家族涉入管理会影响企业主边界行为策略,进而影响控制权配置行为。基于双样本和两重测量的实证研究发现,家族涉入管理与企业主集权程度正相关,而目前学界普遍认同的企业主与经理关系亲近就会向后者更多授权的命题,仅在家族不涉入管理的情况下成立,在家族涉入管理的情况下并不成立。上述研究结果表明,家族涉入管理容易诱导企业主将家长身份与企业家身份一体化,把职业经理也纳入家长式集权管理之下,即使他们与企业主之间建立起泛家族化的亲近关系,也不易获得企业主的更多授权。     

Who Cares About Your Big Day? Impact of Life Events on Dynamics of Social Networks

With online social networking having revolutionized the way in which individuals communicate and interact with each other, there is heightened research interest in the dynamics of social networks. This article seeks to contribute to this stream of research by addressing the key question of the impact of major life events, such as getting married or graduating from college, on social network evolution. Consistent with prior studies on the evolution of individuals’ social networks, we specifically focus on two key attributes of an individual's network: indegree of ties and relational embeddedness. By longitudinally analyzing the network activities of a large‐scale online social network, we find that the indegree of ties increased significantly following a major life event, and that this impact was stronger for more active users in the network. Interestingly, we also find that the broadcast of major life events served to revive dormant ties as reflected by a decrease in embeddedness following a life event. We also found that one‐time life events such as weddings had a greater impact than recurring life events such as birthdays on the evolution of a user's social network. From a research perspective, our study contributes to existing research by focusing on a user's communication network as opposed to friendship network and by emphasizing how exogenous life events add a different dimension to user communication patterns. The importance of life events on social network evolution has important implications for practice as well by providing insights to advertisers as well as to social networking sites.     

Network learning: Episodes of interorganizational learning towards a collective performance goal

Little is known about learning processes in horizontal networks. This study focuses on networks as learning entities, i.e. learning by multiple organizations as a group, and the mechanisms involved in developing and addressing a network-level performance goal. By using a narrative approach, we gather in-depth primary data from network members to examine: how do firms engage in network learning? and, how is network learning coordinated towards a performance goal in a horizontal inter-firm network? Our findings comprise two learning episodes: ‘learning how to compete’ and ‘learning how to perform’. These episodes help us to understand network learning processes; the relationship between network learning and organizational learning; and the regulatory role a hub firm provides towards a collective performance goal.     

Building interfirm leadership: A relational identity perspective

While leadership has been recognized as an approach to facilitating network orchestration, little is known about the mechanism through which a hub firm enhances interfirm leadership. Grounded on the theory of social identity and network orchestration, we develop a framework of the enhancement of interfirm leadership, proposing that the tendency of building leadership rests on the hub firm's ability to shape the partners' relational identity. We identify three types of role-adoption that indicate seven actions a hub firm might take to establish such an identity. We suggest that the mechanism through which leadership emerges is contingent on relationship duration, dependence asymmetry, and competition intensity.     

Looking into the ‘black box’ – unlocking the effect of integration on acquisition performance

Extending research on the performance of Mergers and Acquisitions (M&As), this paper seeks to explain how the post-acquisition integration phase affects acquisition performance. Despite extensive research efforts, there remains a scant understanding of how acquisition implementation, particularly in the post-acquisition integration phase, impacts the performance of M&As. Based on an extensive study of eight acquisitions, in this paper, a grounded model detailing the mechanisms by which the post-acquisition integration phase affects acquisition performance is developed. The model posits that integration-related factors do not bear directly upon acquisition performance. Instead, their effect is mediated by functional organizations in both firms. When focusing into these functional mediating dynamics, we observe that integration-related processual, behavioral and cultural factors affect the identified functional mediators in different ways. Going forward, we echo calls for integrated perspectives to the study of M&A and M&A performance in particular.

独立学院文化现状及改进对策

大学文化是大学所有成员在历史时间内创造的精神财富和物质财富的总和。而独立学院文化的现状是文化不够鲜明、完整、深厚,因此,独立学院需要从文化培育、文化落实、文化传承、文化创新等方面加以改进。
