Falling Fortunes: The Contingent and Asymmetric Effect of Rankings on Organizational Outcomes

As rankings of organizations have proliferated in recent decades, much research has focused on organizational efforts to maintain a high position in rankings. A common theme in this literature is that changes in rank affect evaluations by external audiences and, consequently, organizational outcomes. Yet, accumulating evidence suggests that rankings sometimes have little effect on audience assessments and organizational outcomes, a finding that calls into question the power of rankings. Instead of asking whether rankings matter, this study adopts a contingency approach and investigates when rankings matter. I develop theory about contextual and organizational factors that shape the salience and information value of shifts in rankings: the direction of the change, the availability of information from other intermediaries, the sophistication of the audience, and the focal organization’s previous ranking position. Panel data analysis and a natural experiment focused on the Fortune 500 rankings support this theory. This article provides a framework to help scholars understand the contingent and asymmetric consequences of rankings on organizational outcomes, with implications for research on evaluation systems.

Wo∼Men and Leadership: Re-Thinking the State of Research on Gender and Leadership Through Waves of Feminist Thinking

Feminist thinking has contributed to changing views of women in society and in leadership positions. Yet women are still underrepresented in leadership, especially in key roles and at higher organizational ranks. In this commentary we examine the past, present, and future of leadership theories through a gendered lens, by considering them against the backdrop of feminist theory evolution. We first organize existing leadership theories according to four main feminist waves— gender reform feminism or “fixing the women” which corresponds with liberal feminism; gender resistance feminism or “the female advantage,” reflecting radical feminism; the gender rebellion feminism or “how is a wo(man) defined,” according to postmodern and intersectionality theories, and gender digital feminism or “hashtag and clicktivism revolution” that focuses on social media, cyber activism, sexual violence, and complex intersectionality. We further examine the implications and research findings of these theories for women and men in leadership. Second, we review the publications on gender and leadership in two exemplary journals publishing leadership research in the field between 2019 and 2022 and explore to which feminist wave the published works relate. We show that themes related to the first two waves of feminist thinking continue to be dominant in current leadership research and encourage moving into new terrains, utilizing current feminist thinking, in the study of leadership and gender. Finally, we raise awareness that in a gendered society, leadership theories may reproduce and reconstruct the existing social order and gendered arrangements, as well as map novel directions for future research.

Борьба советских военнопленных с нацистскими оккупантами в Севастополе в 1943–1944 годах

The paper deals with one of the little-studied issues in the history of the resistance movement during the Great Patriotic War, namely, the participation of Soviet prisoners of war in the anti-fascist struggle in the ranks of the Communist underground organization in occupied Sevastopol in 1943–1944. The purpose of this article was to study the formation and structure of the aforementioned organization, as well as the involvement in the antifascist struggle of Soviet prisoners of war, and to identify the effect of their activities on the general course of the anti-Hitler struggle in occupied Crimea. The objects of the research are the underground group headed by Nikolai Ignatyevich Tereshchenko (pseudonym Mikhailov), which was part of the Communist underground organization, and the places where it carried out its anti-fascist operations: camps for Soviet prisoners of war around Sevastopol and in the city itself, especially after Tereshchenko’s escape from German captivity. The study was performed within the framework of the large-scale All-Russian educational project “Without Statute of Limitations” aimed at preserving historical memory. Along with providing insights into the tragedy of the civilian population of the USSR during the Great Patriotic War, the paper highlights the heroic deeds of the anti-fascist resistance movement in the temporarily occupied territory of the Soviet Union and demonstrates the contribution of individuals and groups to the defeat of Nazi Germany and its satellites. The author used documents that were declassified in the course of this project by the Federal Security Service Office for the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol and transferred to the Sevastopol Archives. The analysis revealed a significant feature of the Sevastopol underground: prisoners of war were one of the most important components of the Communist underground organization, performing risky and dangerous tasks deep behind enemy lines. According to the plan, in the event of a Black Sea Fleet landing, it was the prisoners of war who were supposed to be the striking force and spark an armed uprising in the occupied city. Consequently, it is concluded that Soviet prisoners of war were one of the combat weapons teams of the Sevastopol underground movement, which carried out various operations: reconnaissance, agitation and propaganda, as well as sabotage and subversion deep behind enemy lines.

Developmental Guidelines to be an Educational Innovative Organization for the Basic Schools in the Education Sandbox of Thailand

This quantitative research was conducted with the purposes of studying 1) the readiness of the innovation in School-Based Management (SBM); 2) the effectiveness of being an innovative organization in education; 3) to propose guidelines of being an educational innovative organization for pilot schools in the Education Sandbox. The sample group consisted of pilot schools in 6 regions of the Education Sandbox program, totaling in 208 participants from the population of 432 schools. The research results showed that the readiness in innovative SBM ranking upwards were 1) human resources; 2) academic; 3) general administration; and 4) budget managements. The effectiveness in being an educational innovation organization ranking upwards were 1) to increase the cooperation among all parties in improving education; 2) to decentralize power to the educational agencies and the schools; 3) to increase the learner’s achievement; and 4) to reduce the inequality in education. To develop the pilot schools into being an educational innovative organization, we needed to focus on aspects such as, Competency-Based Education (CBE), active learning, performance-based assessment for the learners, appropriate human resource management in planning and rewards systems, and to publicize the importance of the new way in education management to communities and all concerned.

Comparative approach in public health social security: a legal case study of the Indonesian, France, and Singapore health systems

PurposeThis research paper aimed to study the legal structure of top-performing health governance systems and compare them with the Indonesian health social security system to identify the main differences and provide recommendations for Indonesian and other developing countries’ health policymakers and administrators.Design/methodology/approachUsing formative research with a conceptual approach and statute approach as method in this study. Data was gathered using the document study technique, which studies various documents, especially legal documents related to health law, linked to legal purpose theories. Moreover, the World Health Organization ranking was considered to choose the two countries (France and Singapore) with a high social health security system for comparative analysis. All data collected has been analyzed using a qualitative and theoretical basis. Content analysis was performed by analyzing the legal documents, and the regulatory framework of all three countries was deeply analyzed to draw conclusions and recommendations.FindingsIndonesia has specific laws to implement a social security system in the health sector. However, the lack of the best medical facilities and infrastructure and weak implementation of existing laws were identified as major reasons behind the poor health security system compared to comparative countries. Also, as a developing nation Indonesian Government face budgetary pressures and huge population challenges to meet required standards. Thus, the financing approaches used by Singapore and France may help developing countries meet these challenges effectively. Therefore, there is a dire need to strengthen the social health security system all over the country with amendments to laws and ensure the implementation of prevailing laws and regulations.Practical implicationsProviding understanding related to the social security health system in Indonesia along with a detailed description of the sound social health security system in France and Singapore will further provide an avenue for the researchers to critically analyze this line of study to devise some valuable suggestions further and to draw loopholes in the system.Originality/valueA comparative approach for legal studies in the health sector is rare. So, this research advanced the social security health system-related literature and legal studies on the health sector by using this comparative approach to develop policy insights and future research directions, which will further help the field to grow.

Exploring the Unit Spatial Layout Preference for Urban Multi-Unit Residential Buildings: A Survey in Beijing, China

Following the commodification reform of residential properties in China, multi-unit residential buildings (MURBs) have emerged as the most prevalent housing type owing to their high economic value and convenient infrastructure. In recent years, there has been an increasing concern regarding the potential negative impacts of MURBs on residents. To address this issue, in this study, a survey was conducted among 552 purchasers, and methods such as expert questionnaires, factor analysis, Kano two-dimensional quality, and analytic hierarchy process (AHP) were employed to evaluate the significance of 19 factors related to the quality of MURBs’ unit spatial layouts. An index model summarizing their utility was developed. The research findings indicated that spatial function held the greatest influence, followed by indoor environment, with spatial organization ranking last. Moreover, we analyzed the influence of preferences on satisfaction and the variations in preferences based on sociodemographic factors. The results aim to assist real estate developers and purchasers in evaluating the quality of housing spatial layouts, ultimately enhancing the overall quality and comfort of MURBs.

Do you see me? An inductive examination of differences between women of color's experiences of and responses to invisibility at work.

Intersectional invisibility is a salient experience for women of color in the workplace and stems from their nonprototypicality in gender and race. We expand research and theory on intersectional invisibility to propose that women of color vary in their degrees of nonprototypicality, and thus in their social power and their experiences of and responses to invisibility at work. We present an inductive interview study of a diverse sample of 65 women of color in the United States and Canada, who work in traditionally white and male professions. We examined how differences in race, immigration status, age, and organizational rank informed the types of invisibility they experienced and their responses to invisibility. Four forms of invisibility (erasure, homogenization, exoticization, and whitening) and three response pathways (withdrawal, approach, and pragmatism) emerged from our findings that differed according to women of color's social power. Women with less social power experienced the most invisibility and were more likely to engage in withdrawal tactics that intensified their invisibility and marginalization at work. Women with more social power experienced less invisibility and were more likely to engage in approach tactics that risked backlash. Women who understood their invisibility to be rooted in structural causes responded more pragmatically to invisibility, occasionally engaging in radical honesty to connect with others who treated them as invisible and to change their behavior. We discuss the implications of our research for intersectionality theory, directions for future research, and organizational practice. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).

Research Hotspots and Trends of Deep Learning in Critical Care Medicine: A Bibliometric and Visualized Study.

Interest in the application of deep learning (DL) in critical care medicine (CCM) is growing rapidly. However, comprehensive bibliometric research that analyze and measure the global literature is still lacking. The present study aimed to systematically evaluate the research hotspots and trends of DL in CCM worldwide based on the output of publications, cooperative relationships of research, citations, and the co-occurrence of keywords. A total of 1708 articles in all were obtained from Web of Science. Bibliometric analysis was performed by Bibliometrix package in R software (4.2.2), Microsoft Excel 2019, VOSviewer (1.6.18), and CiteSpace (5.8.R3). The annual publications increased steeply in the past five years, accounting for 95.67% (1634/1708) of all the included literature. China and USA contributed to approximately 71.66% (1244/1708) of all publications. Seven of the top ten most productive organizations rank in the top 100 universities globally. Hot spots in research on the application of DL in CCM have focused on classifying disease phenotypes, predicting early signs of clinical deterioration, and forecasting disease progression, prognosis, and death. Convolutional neural networks, long and short-term memory networks, recurrent neural networks, transformer models, and attention mechanisms were all commonly used DL technologies. Hot spots in research on the application of DL in CCM have focused on classifying disease phenotypes, predicting early signs of clinical deterioration, and forecasting disease progression, prognosis, and death. Extensive collaborative research to improve the maturity and robustness of the model remains necessary to make DL-based model applications sufficiently compelling for conventional CCM practice.

One of the urgent problems in the United Lastarda Forum (FORLAB) organization in Tanganapada Village, Murhum District, Baubau City, is the low skills in writing official letters, especially the use of punctuation and capital letters in outgoing letters. For this reason, this Community Service (PkM) activity aims to provide knowledge to partners (FOLAB administrators) in writing outgoing letters by paying attention to the use of punctuation and capital letters. The method used is lectures and questions and answers or discussions as well as the practice of direct assignments to participants in writing official letters, especially outgoing letters using punctuation and capital letters. The Community Service Activities for the Management of the United Lastarda Forum (FORLAB) which were held in the Tanganapada Village Secretariat room ran in an orderly and smooth manner. This mentoring activity showed very satisfying results. This is indicated by the increasing knowledge and understanding of the management regarding the use of punctuation and capital letters in the preparation of outgoing letter manuscripts. Of course, the success of this technical guidance will have an impact on the quality of the performance of organizational management which will affect the stability of the organization's wheels. In general, the benefits of the results of this technical guidance will bring a good name or positive image to the leadership of the FORLAB Chair who is currently in office. Directly, the success of the Chair of FORLAB will add to the fragrance of the organization's achievements in the ranks of community organizations in Baubau City, even in the competition arena at the provincial level.

A meta-analysis of psychological empowerment: Antecedents, organizational outcomes, and moderating variables

Psychological empowerment (PE) is a subjective, cognitive and attitudinal process that helps individuals feel effective, competent and authorized to carry out tasks. Over the last twenty years, research into PE has reported strong evidence reaffirming its role as a motivational factor in organizational psychology. In this study, the aim is to systematically review, analyze and quantify correlational empirical research focusing on empowerment, as understood by the theory developed by Spreitzer et al. (1995a, b), using meta-analytical techniques. The study also analyses the antecedents and consequences of PE and explores potential moderators of the relationship between this variable and its correlates. The electronic search encompassed studies dating from the publication of Spreitzer's empowerment scale (Academy of Management Journal, 38, 1442–1465, 1995b) up to January 2019. It was conducted in database aggregators, as well as in Metabus, occupational psychology journals and doctoral thesis repositories. Of the 1110 records identified, 94 were included in the meta-analysis. Most of the studies included used purposive or convenience sampling and had a cross-sectional study design. We focused on searching for studies that use a survey analysis approach. We extracted information about effect size (ES) in the associations between PE and its antecedents and consequences, and used the Comprehensive Meta-analysis 2.0 program to carry out the analyses (Borenstein et al., 2005). Effect size was calculated as the Pearson correlation (r), processed using Fisher's Z transformation. A random effects model was used and heterogeneity was analyzed to detect moderator variables. In relation to antecedents, in all meta-analyses, non-significant results were found only for education (r = -.001, CI [-.06, .06]) and organizational rank (r = .10, CI [-.16, .36]). All meta-analyses focusing on the association between psychological empowerment and its consequences returned significant results. Job satisfaction (r = .50) and organizational commitment (r = .51) had the largest effect sizes. Our results suggest which factors may be more important for generating empowerment among employees in accordance with the profession in which they work and their culture of origin. The main novelty offered by our results is that they indicate that age moderates the relationship between empowerment and the majority of the antecedents studied, a finding not reported in other meta-analyses. The present meta-analysis may help encourage organizations to pay more attention to PE, focusing their efforts on improving or strengthening certain structures or factors. Empowerment initiatives or programs focused on employee well-being lead to a workplace in which people are motivated and have a sense of purpose. Our results allow us to recommend interventions that enhance and improve the antecedents of EP. Finally, the present meta-analysis may help encourage organizations to pay more attention to the antecedents and consequences of PE, focusing their efforts on improving or strengthening certain structures or factors.

Типология сельскохозяйственных организаций как субъектов сельской локальной экономики

Agricultural organizations act as key agricultural producers. They account for more than half of the value of agricultural products produced in 2021. Consequently, in the process of analyzing the rural local economy, typologization of agricultural organizations is also necessary. The value of imputed income acts as an indicator by which the ranking of agricultural organizations is carried out. The typologization is based on the method of ranking by multiply increasing intervals of fluctuations in imputed income, since in this case it is possible to obtain a distribution of agricultural organizations close to normal. Within the framework of this study, we have obtained three typological groups of agricultural organizations: farms with low, medium and high income.

Status achieved in an organization—Rank dynamics

A new model of an evolution of ranks of employees due to staff turnover in an organization is designed. If the rank is determined only by the performance, the rank shift of incumbents due to the turnover is proportional to the initial rank: the status of high staff is reduced only slightly. This effect that has been observed in the literature. However, if the status also depends on some other variable, the positions of high staff may be greatly deteriorated. In that case, the effect depends nonlinearly on the time τ between subsequent replacements of staff.

МАСОВІ РЕПРЕСІЇ ПРОТИ ПОЛЬСЬКОЇ НАЦІОНАЛЬНОЇ МЕНШИНИ УКРАЇНИ В 1937–1938 РР.

The article is devoted to the fact that in 1937-1938 Stalin's totalitarian regime began mass repressions against the multi-ethnic population of Ukraine, including Poles. This period went down in history under the name of the years of "the great purge or the great terror", when the state security bodies, guided by the decisions of the higher party bodies, in particular the Central Committee of the CPSU(b), carried out mass repressions on the territory of the USSR and the union republics. The February-March plenum of the Central Committee of the CPSU(b) in 1937 became the ideological basis for the implementation of repressions. The national direction of political repressions began to be carried out by the relevant orders and directive letters. In particular, the operational order of the NKVD of the USSR No. 00485 of August 11, 1937 initiated the deployment of the "Polish operation". Repression affected various social strata of the Polish population of Ukraine: peasants, workers, civil servants, representatives of the intelligentsia, leaders of the party-state apparatus. The NKVD authorities accused the Poles of various types of hostile activities: participation in counter-revolutionary activities, espionage for the benefit of Poland and other countries, treason, terror, sabotage, vandalism, counter-revolutionary insurgent activities, anti-Soviet agitation, membership in the ranks of the Polish military organization. The NKVD investigators sought testimony from the arrested Poles with the help of moral and psychological pressure and torture. All the arrested Poles received long terms of imprisonment in correctional labor camps or were sentenced to the highest degree of punishment - execution. 267,579 thousand people became victims of Stalin's terror against the Polish national minority in the Ukrainian SSR.

Different stakes, different struggles, and different practices to survive: News organizations and the spectrum of platform dependency

As people access news via digital platforms, existing literature provides foundations for institutional approaches to news organizations’ platform dependency. Yet, platform dependency also exists on a spectrum: size, business model, and market position impact how each news organization strategizes its reliance on digital platforms. I draw on in-depth interviews with 22 South Korean news professionals to delve into different survival strategies in dealing with South Korea’s biggest search portal and news aggregator, Naver. Findings reveal that contrary to the common belief, journalists in legacy news organizations experience more pressure and compromise journalistic values with clickbait headlines. They deem their relationship with the platform more in hierarchical and inevitable terms while journalists from new, emerging organizations are relatively freer from the competition for clicks and strive for more quality journalism. However, the difference stems from the Naver platform’s news organization ranking system and its tiered visibility structure that systematically creates the difference in audience reach and news distribution.

Scientometric Analysis of Kazakhstani Universities’ Publication Activity

The article analyzes the publication activity of Kazakhstani universities. The aim of the study is to identify the main trends and factors influencing the increase in scientific productivity in universities. The study was carried out using the method of scientometric analysis of universities' data in the Scopus and Web of Science databases and InCites and SciVal electronic analytical tools. At the same time, both quantitative and qualitative indicators were “measured”, to the latter the authors attributed the citation of publications and journal quartiles. The level of international collaboration and the share of publications as the first author or corresponding author is also considered. Based on the data obtained, the ranking of organizations was carried out, the features of the publication activity of each of the groups, as well as the factors influencing the publication strategy of universities’ teaching staff, were identified. The positive results of the policy of increasing publication activity at universities, including participation in world academic rankings, include an increase in the number of publications, including in journals, of the first two quartiles (that is, the improvement of the quality), a high level of international collaboration, and an increase in the recognition of scientists and their contribution to research (citation and position of the author). At the same time, the problem of manipulating scientometric indicators to improve individual indicators and universities’ performance remains relevant. Higher education institutions can use the results of this study to develop publication strategies and adjust approaches to hiring faculty in terms of analyzing their publication activity. Key words: Publication activity, university, scientometric analysis, scientific productivity

Power at work: Linking objective power to psychological power

AbstractExperimental research conducted with student participants has documented that feeling powerful or powerless (psychological power) affects outcomes with high practical relevance for organizations. However, it is unclear how results from these studies can be generalized to organizational settings in which individuals have various roles that imply more or less objective power. To address this gap, we present a theoretical framework to aid in the understanding of how objective power in organizations affects psychological power. We assume that stable differences in organizational rank (i.e., structural power) determine the likelihood of interactions with superiors, subordinates, or peers. These interactions give rise to within‐person variation in situational power which should lead to dynamic fluctuations of psychological power and eventually its outcomes. Results of a preregistered experiment (n = 190 participants) and a preregistered experience sampling study (n = 129 participants) conducted with working adults support our key predictions: Structural power was associated with the likelihood of being in a high power versus low power situation. Within‐person differences in situational power were related to feelings of power such as judgments about (1) one's own ability to influence others in a given social situation (i.e., interpersonal power) and (2) one's own competence, agency, autonomy, and independence (i.e., personal power).

Falling Fortunes: The Contingent Effect of Slipping in Organizational Rankings

Falling Fortunes: The Contingent Effect of Slipping in Organizational Rankings

An Occupational Lens on Social Inequality

Social inequality, i.e., the unequal opportunities and outcomes based on social group membership, is one of the grand challenges of our time. The current literature on social inequality foregrounds organizational practices and structures that contribute to patterns of social inequality. Given that organizations distribute most of the economic and social resources in our society, this research has yielded important insights into the drivers of social inequality both within and beyond organizational boundaries. However, such studies have predominantly focused on patterns of vertical segregation of individuals across organizational ranks. This focus has distracted from patterns of horizontal segregation of individuals into different occupations and industries, based on their social group membership. In this symposium we seek to develop an occupational lens on social inequality by bringing together organization theorists whose work is exemplar of this new direction. This symposium, which is both timely and relevant, is grounded in recent empirical work. The experts will draw on their own research to discuss how an occupational lens can help us to better understand social inequality. In discussing patterns of intra- and inter-occupational dynamics of social inequality, we seek to generate insights from the rich studies that the panelists have conducted and elaborate on why and how an occupational lens can enrich our understanding of social inequality. The symposium should be immensely useful for researchers and practitioners looking to address social inequality within the workplace by not only focusing on broad patterns of social inequality across occupations but also by addressing some of the micro-dynamics of social inequality within the workplace. We hope that this symposium will provide a forum for discussion about an occupational lens on social inequality and provoke insights into future research direction.
