Abstract

The papers included in this symposium aim to shed light on some of the current theoretical advancements and knowledge creation related to star performers. The papers draw from a diverse set of theories (e.g., self-conscious emotions, trait-activation, conservation of resources, etc.) and deploy a broad set of methodologies (e.g., field-based, experimental, qualitative, archival, conceptual) to investigate novel research topics related to how stars behave towards their peers, how stars’ presence within work teams impact team members, what factors influence the decline of stardom, and the performance implications of star mobility. Additionally, these papers investigate these topics in a diverse set of samples, such as real estate agents, NBA players, students and project teams, and lead portfolio fund managers to garner holistic insights related to star phenomena. Through the presentations and discussions associated with this symposium we hope to feature some of the current advancements and findings within the star literature while also illuminating the need for extending this growing constellation of research.
