Help me help you: How HR analytics forecasts foster organizational creativity

Organizational creativity is increasingly deemed a crucial source of organizational effectiveness and competitive advantage. As several previous researches found that some human resource management (HRM) activities act as antecedents of organizational creativity, HR-related decisions are increasingly deemed as high stake decisions, as poor choices may originate large financial loss and may be very costly to reverse. For this reason, organizations are relying more and more on a data-driven approach also when it comes to HRM, for example by increasingly resorting to HR analytics tools to inform and guide the decision-making process. Consequently, the objective of this study is to empirically investigate the effect of an HRM data-driven approach on organizational creativity. Data were collected through online questionnaires addressed to 281 HR managers of heterogeneous companies from Europe and analyzed through a structural equation modeling (SEM) technique. Our results found employee training, organizational knowledge sharing, and recruitment and selection to be positively related to organizational creativity, and that HR analytics positively moderated these relationships. On the contrary, no significant effect was found regarding the relationship between employee rewards and incentives and organizational creativity, and neither regarding the moderating effect of HR analytics. Our study thus contributes to research regarding high stake decisions by empirically demonstrating HR analytics' positive impact on the decision-making process regarding the workforce, also in a peculiar context as organizational creativity. It also contributes to organizational creativity literature by clarifying the mixed findings regarding its antecedents. Finally, it provides further empirical confirmation of the contingency theory applied to HRM.

Organizational Bricolage and Insurgent Group Effectiveness in Cities: The Formation and Initial Urban Campaign of the Movement of the 19th of April in Colombia (1973–1980)

Abstracts How do rebel groups form in cities? What makes urban-based insurgent organizations effective? Urban armed conflicts have become an important subject of research due to the political, economic, and demographic significance of cities. Yet, we know little about the mechanisms of insurgent group formation and effectiveness in urban contexts. Building on the case of the formation and initial urban campaign of M-19 in Colombia (1973–1980), this article argues that rebel leaders originating from multiple organizations and confronted with intramovement competition have strong motives to employ organizational bricolage to form their organization. Organizational bricolage shapes insurgent effectiveness by producing structures that are fit for achieving certain objectives but not others. M-19’s organizational bricolage combined the armed vanguard, intellectual collective, and populist party forms. This structure was effective to foster public support but ineffective to establish a robust social base and maintain urban operations under repression. The research employs the analysis of organizational repertoires and process tracing to retrace M-19’s formation and initial urban campaign. Empirical material includes an original dataset comprising M-19 founders’ biographical data, archival documents, and interviews with ex-combatants. Studying how rebel leaders employ organizational bricolage sheds light on how insurgent organizations form, behave, and transform after war.

Innovative Thinking in Volunteer Organizations: Addressing the Impact of Psychological Ownership on Volunteer Organizational Commitment

This study explores the impact of psychological ownership on volunteer commitment within volunteer organizations. By introducing psychological ownership as a new variable, this research aims to enhance volunteer commitment through improved management practices and innovations.

Reproductive function and behaviors: an update on the role of neural estrogen receptors alpha and beta.

Infertility is becoming a major public health problem, with increasing frequency due to medical, environmental and societal causes. The increasingly late age of childbearing, growing exposure to endocrine disruptors and other reprotoxic products, and increasing number of medical reproductive dysfunctions (endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome, etc.) are among the most common causes. Fertility relies on fine-tuned control of both neuroendocrine function and reproductive behaviors, those are critically regulated by sex steroid hormones. Testosterone and estradiol exert organizational and activational effects throughout life to establish and activate the neural circuits underlying reproductive function. This regulation is mediated through estrogen receptors (ERs) and androgen receptor (AR). Estradiol acts mainly via nuclear estrogen receptors ERα and ERβ. The aim of this review is to summarize the genetic studies that have been undertaken to comprehend the specific contribution of ERα and ERβ in the neural circuits underlying the regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis and the expression of reproductive behaviors, including sexual and parental behavior. Particular emphasis will be placed on the neural role of these receptors and the underlying sex differences.

How Virtual are We? Introducing the Team Perceived Virtuality Scale

AbstractWith the strong proliferation of virtual teams across various organizations and contexts, understanding how virtuality affects teamwork has become fundamental to team and organizational effectiveness. However, current conceptualizations of virtuality rely almost exclusively on more or less fixed, structural features, such as the degree of technology reliance. In this paper, we take a socio-constructivist perspective on team virtuality, focusing on individuals’ experience of team virtuality, which may vary across teams and time points with similar structural features. More specifically, we develop and validate a scale that captures the construct of Team Perceived Virtuality (Handke et al., 2021). Following a description of item development and content validity, we present the results of four different studies that demonstrate the construct’s structural, discriminant, and criterion validity with an overall number of 2,294 teams. The final instrument comprises 10 items that measure the two dimensions of Team Perceived Virtuality (collectively-experienced distance and collectively-experienced information deficits) with five items each. This final scale showed a very good fit to a two-dimensional structure both at individual and team levels and adequate psychometric properties including aggregation indices. We further provide evidence for conceptual and empirical distinctiveness of the two TPV dimensions based on related team constructs, and for criterion validity, showing the expected significant relationships with leader-rated interaction quality and team performance. Lastly, we generalize results from student project teams to an organizational team sample. Accordingly, this scale can enhance both research and practice as a validated instrument to address how team virtuality is experienced.

Help or hindrance? The effects of leader workaholism on employee creativity

Although research on leader workaholism is accumulating, the literature does not reach a consensus about its effectiveness, and we still know little about how it affects employee creativity. Therefore, building on transactional stress theory, we explore how and when leader workaholism helps or hampers employee creativity. A multiwave and multisource survey of 272 leader–employee dyads from a state-owned software company indicated that workaholic leaders induced employees’ challenge and hindrance appraisals simultaneously, which in turn influenced employee creativity in opposing manners. Meanwhile, employee resilience amplified the impact of leader workaholism on challenge appraisals and buffered its impact on hindrance appraisals. Taken together, this study makes an initial attempt to unravel the double-edged sword effects of leader workaholism on employee creativity and provides practical insights for leveraging the positive effects of workaholic leaders and countering their negative effects in organizations.
