  Reactions to professional athletes in crisis

  Reactions to professional athletes in crisis

  Linn Van Dyne

  In contemporary organizations

  competitive advantage can come from ideas employees communicate to supervisors for improving processes

  products

  and services. One approach to studying employee communications with supervisors is voice behavior. In this research

  the authors consider leader— member exchange (LMX) and the individual cultural value orientation of power distance (PD) as predictors of voice. Two studies

  conducted in different countries

  demonstrate the unique and combined effects of these predictors.

  Employee voice behavior: Interactive effects of LMX and power distance in the U.S. and Colombia.

  This paper introduces the idea of multiple family firm identities and explores whether

  and if so how

  organizations communicate their family firm identity in their official websites. One thousand and thirty-six family firm websites from three countries (Australia: N = 560; US: N = 310

  UK: N = 166) were analyzed.

  Communicating family ownership through organizational websites: An investigation of family firms in three countries.

  This paper explores the role that different components of an apology have on the reputation of an organization after a crisis event occurs.

  The acceptance of responsibility and expressions of regret in organizational apologies after a transgression.

  One problem that NPOs are currently facing is the difficulty in attracting and retaining dedicated volunteers. The argument advanced in this paper is that a proposed solution utilized in classrooms may actually be adding to the problem. Using two frameworks (i.e.

  theory of planned behavior and psychological reactance)

  the current study explored the impact of forced volunteerism within a classroom setting on student’s attitudes toward volunteerism and their future intentions to volunteer. Results indicate that students are more likely to develop intentions to volunteer if they have positive attitudes towards volunteering and if their self-efficacy towards volunteering is high. Results also indicate that students who are currently taking a course that requires them to volunteer have lower attitudes towards volunteering at the end of the course. Additional results and implications for future research are discussed.

  When volunteering is no longer voluntary: Assessing the impact of student forced volunteerism on future intentions to volunteer.

  In recent years

  family business owners have indicated that attracting and retaining qualified non-family applicants is one of the greatest challenge that firms face. Although there is some empirical research that explores why family firms face this challenge

  most of this work has focused on understanding the role that human resource practices play in the success of recruitment practices in the family firm. This article explores the effects of information provided in initial recruitment messages on perceptions about attributes of the organization (i.e.

  job security

  advancement

  compensation

  and prestige) and how these perceptions influence attractiveness to a firm.

  Although researchers have highlighted the importance of relational and family factors for the sustainability of a family firm

  there is not much empirical research exploring how emotions and the management of emotions play a role in the interpersonal dynamics of family business owners. The purpose of this paper is to explore how the way family members manage their emotions affects the interpersonal dynamics in the family

  business

  and ownership subsystems of a family firm.

  T.A. (2014). Incumbent decisions about succession transitions in family firms: A conceptual model. International Journal of Financial Studies

  2(4)

  335-358: doi: 10.3390/ijfs2040335.\n\nAbstract:\n\nIn the family business literature

  succession research has focused on the family member as they enter the leadership role or on the different issues that affect the succession process. Although researchers have acknowledged that succession in family businesses is “punctuated” by decision making events

  less attention has been given to understanding how incumbents make decisions about ownership and management transitions. In an effort to continue to understand the succession process it is important to understand how incumbents make decisions about the type of transitions they intend to engage in (i.e.

  intra-family succession

  out of family succession

  or no succession). Building on the theory of planned behavior and the socioemotional wealth framework (SEW)

  this manuscript presents a conceptual framework to understand the factors that influence succession transitions and the role that contextual factors can play in this decision-making process. We present theory driven propositions and discuss the implications for understanding and evaluation of the succession process.

  and how these perceptions influence their attractiveness to a firm. Data for this study was collected in Australia.

  This project explored the factors that influence perceptions of work-life balance among owners of copreneurial firms. Data for this study were collected using surveys. Two hundred and ten copreneurs with businesses in nearly twenty industries answered questions about their perceptions of work-life balance

  work-life conflict

  life-work conflict

  communication practices

  characteristics of their jobs

  and spousal support. Results indicate that work-life conflict was negatively related to perceptions of work-life balance. Job involvement

  flexibility at work

  and permeability of communication were significantly related to perceptions of work-life conflict. Interestingly spousal support did not affect individual perceptions of life-work balance

  but had a direct influence on perceptions of work-life balance.
