This paper examines how the concepts of social structure and social change are interpreted in sociological theory today. Social structures are commonly defined in opposition with agency and accordingly as constraints on action. Concomitantly, social change is understood as emancipation or the removal of such constraint through the exercise of agency (and for it). Against this common understanding,...
The interaction between smell and taste has been widely confirmed in the literature. Exposure to a congruent olfactory stimulus enhances taste, increases palatability and the desire to eat, and promotes food consumption. In this paper, we use laboratory experiments to show that, in addition to its role in taste enhancement, olfaction also plays a role in taste induction. Using the phenomena of cognitive...
In this study, we review articles published in academic journals. in the last 5 years at the intersection of big data and the smart city context. Based on a dataset of 192 articles, we use content analysis to identify recent trends and future research directions. The most influential research areas identified include using big data analytics, electric vehicle integration, and citizen‐centric big data,...
The present research explores the role of lateral exchange relationships among peer leaders (i.e., leader–leader exchange relationships; PLLX) as drivers of ethical leadership. Across two studies involving male subordinates and leaders pertaining to 150 teams (Study 1) and 158 leader–follower dyads (Study 2) in the Republic of Korea Army, PLLX was found to mediate a positive relation between peer...
Embracing methodological individualism, the mainstream economic theory of the firm has little to say about the precarious nature of the firm's embeddedness in encompassing socioecological systems. The digital transformation of the theory of the firm can address this gap by deconstructing the standpoint of methodological individualism. In transaction cost economics, this standpoint is manifest in two...
Limited research explores the well‐being of multiply marginalized workers. Aiming to illustrate the application of intersectionality‐inspired analysis to the fields of management and occupational health, we examined how being a sexual minority (non‐heterosexual), having low income, and identifying as a woman are associated with well‐being outcomes (e.g., impaired performance, troublesome symptoms,...
We examine the role autonomy plays for International Organisations (IO) in achieving their objectives. Using a configurational approach, we theorize four scenarios of the impact of autonomy in relation to their experience and the financial resources at their disposal. Our results, based on a qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) applied to 20 IOs of the United Nations (UN) system, demonstrate that...
This article explains how construal level theory (CLT) expand knowledge of management sciences related to the effect of psychological distance on the organization's stakeholders. This work also highlights different limits of this framework and sets out a research agenda to overcome them. The main limits concern 1) a lack of precision regarding the modification of construal level as a function of psychological...
From the long‐standing disapproval attached to the "bankruptcy" of the entrepreneur, through the contested recognition of the right not to pay his debts, the French law of insolvency has evolved to gradually take into account the fate of the man in entrepreneurial failure. Thus, the objective of the rebound of the entrepreneur is part of the reforms of the law of companies in difficulty...
The early internationalization of new ventures has been described as a contemporary phenomenon enabled by globalization and digital technologies. However, today's multinational enterprise Siemens, founded in 1847, fits extant definitions of born globals. Based on this historical case, this study seeks to answer the question: What are enduring and contextually invariant aspects of early internationalization...
Little research has been done on psychological contract breach situations from the perspective of the breacher, including situations in which potential breach actions were enforced by a third‐party. This exploratory study aims to see how enforced breach affects the breacher, their reactions to the situation, and their relationships with community stakeholders. Semi‐structured long‐form interviews...
Retailers often display prices in different formats to make them appear more attractive. In some contexts, they can also attach prices to different measurement units—e.g., cereal can be priced at $3.99 per kg or equivalently at $1.36 per lb. In five experimental studies, we show that consumers' perceptions of expensiveness and consumer spending are heavily influenced by the numerical magnitude of...
We examine how “road warrior consultants,” who spend a majority of workweek at the client location, describe their experiences of belongingness with their companies. Based on observations and semi‐structured interviews with consultants, we identified three facets of consultants' experiences that were significant for organizational belongingness, namely: (1) connection with colleagues which refers...
We examine the impact of group attractiveness on the relationship between workplace ostracism and organizational citizenship behaviours directed toward the group (OCBG). Research has long overlooked contextual features of ostracism at work. Using an experimental vignette methodology (N = 312), we found that physical attractiveness was critical in determining the mechanism by which ostracism influenced...
We examine the role of autonomy in the achievement (or non‐achievement) of the objectives of international organizations (IOs). Using a configurational approach, we theorize four scenarios related to autonomy, with regards to the experience and financial resources available to IOs. Our results, based on a qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) applied to 20 IOs in the United Nations (UN) system, demonstrate...
To unpack the link between employees' relationship conflict and helping behaviours, this study postulates a mediating role of the extent to which employees exhibit low goodwill trust in co‐workers and a moderating role of their innovation propensity. As the findings confirm, emotion‐laden conflict compromises employees' propensities to assist co‐workers because they believe that they cannot count...
