Paradoxical leader behavior in long-term corporate development: Antecedents and consequences
Publication date: Available online 25 March 2019Source: Organizational Behavior and Human Decision ProcessesAuthor(s): Yan Zhang, Yu-Lan HanAbstractWe analyze paradoxes embedded in long-term corporate development and conceptualize a new leadership approach: paradoxical leader behavior in long-term corporate development (PLB-CD). Paradoxical leader behaviors are characterized as seemingly both competing and interrelated. We posit that paradoxical leaders employ such behaviors to meet competing demands simultaneously and over time in the process of (a) maintaining both short-term efficiency and long-term development, (b) mai...

Patient responses to physician disclosures of industry conflicts of interest: A randomized field experiment
Publication date: Available online 26 March 2019Source: Organizational Behavior and Human Decision ProcessesAuthor(s): Susannah L. Rose, Sunita Sah, Raed Dweik, Cory Schmidt, MaryBeth Mercer, Ariane Mitchum, Michael Kattan, Matthew Karafa, Christopher RobertsonAbstractMost patients in the United States depend on physicians who have financial relationships with the healthcare industry. These physician-industry relationships represent a conflict of interest: a potential clash between the physicians’ professional responsibilities and their self-interest. We conducted a randomized field experiment to assess the impact of wri...

Leader power, power stability, and interpersonal trust
Publication date: May 2019Source: Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, Volume 152Author(s): Marlon Mooijman, Wilco W. van Dijk, Eric van Dijk, Naomi EllemersAbstractWe examine the conditions under which power decreases trust and the process by which this occurs. Three experiments and a field study revealed that occupying an unstable power position decreases trust as it raises power holders’ concerns about losing power. We replicate this finding across studies differing in measures and design, using different samples, and using different measurements and manipulations of power, power stability, and trust....

Living with paradox through irony
Publication date: Available online 19 March 2019Source: Organizational Behavior and Human Decision ProcessesAuthor(s): Philip Gylfe, Henrika Franck, Eero VaaraAbstractIn organizations, people have to deal with and manage a variety of paradoxes, and this may involve using discursive means such as irony. However, we still know little about the association between irony and paradox in concrete organizational interaction. Our analysis builds on an ethnographic study of journalists and producers at YLE, the Finnish public service broadcaster. On the basis of our analysis, we argue that contradictions are co-constructed with thr...

Juggling work and home selves: Low identity integration feels less authentic and increases unethicality
Publication date: Available online 18 March 2019Source: Organizational Behavior and Human Decision ProcessesAuthor(s): Mahdi Ebrahimi, Maryam Kouchaki, Vanessa M. PatrickAbstractThis research investigates the effect of individuals’ subjective perceptions of the overlap among different identities on their feelings of authenticity and the likelihood of engaging in unethical behavior. Across four studies we found that low (vs. high) identity integration led to greater feelings of inauthenticity and a higher likelihood of engaging in unethical behavior. Manipulation of low (vs. high or control) identity integration led to hi...

How organizational actors live out paradoxical tensions through power relations: The case of a youth prison
Publication date: Available online 14 March 2019Source: Organizational Behavior and Human Decision ProcessesAuthor(s): Matthias Wenzel, Jochen Koch, Joep P. Cornelissen, Wasko Rothmann, N. Natalie SenfAbstractDrawing on a critical discursive analysis of qualitative data gathered at a juvenile detention facility, this study explores how organizational actors live out paradoxes through enacting power relations. Based on our analysis, we elaborate a theoretical framework that conceptualizes (1) individual, role-based responses to paradox through which actors construct positions of control and resistance; (2) collective respon...

Choice architects reveal a bias toward positivity and certainty
Publication date: March 2019Source: Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, Volume 151Author(s): David P. Daniels, Julian J. ZlatevAbstractBiases influence important decisions, but little is known about whether and how individuals try to exploit others’ biases in strategic interactions. Choice architects—that is, people who present choices to others—must often decide between presenting choice sets with positive or certain options (influencing others toward safer options) versus presenting choice sets with negative or risky options (influencing others toward riskier options). We show that choice architec...

How incentive framing can harness the power of social norms
Publication date: March 2019Source: Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, Volume 151Author(s): Alicea Lieberman, Kristen E. Duke, On AmirAbstractIncentives are an increasingly common tool used by organizations, managers, and policymakers to change behavior. We propose that more than just motivating behavior for monetary reasons, incentives also have an important, undiscovered consequence: they leak information about social norms. Four experiments reveal that framing an incentive as a surcharge, as compared to a discount, signals that the incentivized behavior is both more socially approved and more common. ...

More intelligent designs: Comparing the effectiveness of choice architectures in US health insurance marketplaces
Publication date: Available online 8 March 2019Source: Organizational Behavior and Human Decision ProcessesAuthor(s): Andrew J. Barnes, Michael Karpman, Sharon K. Long, Yaniv Hanoch, Thomas RiceAbstractWe examine the effectiveness of alternate choice architectures for health plan choice in US marketplaces under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) using three experiments based on the Health Reform Monitoring Survey: two experiments tested how choice architectures used in presenting information on health plans influenced plan choices and how existing designs could be improved; the third experiment checked the robustness of the cho...

Opting-in to prosocial incentives
Publication date: Available online 6 March 2019Source: Organizational Behavior and Human Decision ProcessesAuthor(s): Daniel Schwartz, Elizabeth A. Keenan, Alex Imas, Ayelet GneezyAbstractThe design of effective incentive schemes that are both successful in motivating employees and keeping down costs is of critical importance. Research has demonstrated that prosocial incentives, where individuals’ effort benefits a charitable organization, can sometimes be more effective than standard monetary incentives. However, most research has focused on the intensive margin, examining effort conditional on participation in the acti...

Thin slices of workgroups
Publication date: March 2019Source: Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, Volume 151Author(s): Patricia Satterstrom, Jeffrey T. Polzer, Lisa B. Kwan, Oliver P. Hauser, Wannawiruch Wiruchnipawan, Marina BurkeAbstractIn this paper, we explore whether perceivers can accurately assess the effectiveness of groups, how perceivers use group properties to inform their judgement, and the contextual and individual differences that allow some perceivers to be more accurate. Across seven studies, we present consistent evidence that perceivers can judge workgroup effectiveness in videos of different lengths—60, 30, an...

Finding calm in the storm: A daily investigation of how trait mindfulness buffers against paranoid cognition and emotional exhaustion following perceived discrimination at work
Publication date: Available online 16 February 2019Source: Organizational Behavior and Human Decision ProcessesAuthor(s): Christian N. Thoroughgood, Katina B. Sawyer, Jennica R. WebsterAbstractAlthough much is known about the harmful effects of perceived discrimination on employees’ psychological wellbeing, surprisingly few studies have examined why some individuals with stigmatized identities are able to rise above and overcome the effects of prejudicial work events. To address this gap in the literature, we integrate existing theory and research on workplace discrimination, mindfulness, and paranoid cognition to develo...

Active choice, implicit defaults, and the incentive to choose
Publication date: Available online 15 February 2019Source: Organizational Behavior and Human Decision ProcessesAuthor(s): John Beshears, James J. Choi, David Laibson, Brigitte C. MadrianAbstractHome-delivered prescriptions have no delivery charge and lower copayments than prescriptions picked up at a pharmacy. Nevertheless, when home delivery is offered on an opt-in basis, the take-up rate is only 6%. We study a program that makes active choice of either home delivery or pharmacy pick-up a requirement for insurance eligibility. The program introduces an implicit default for those who don’t make an active choice: pharmacy...

Speaking out and speaking up in multicultural settings: A two-study examination of cultural intelligence and voice behavior
Publication date: Available online 14 February 2019Source: Organizational Behavior and Human Decision ProcessesAuthor(s): Kok-Yee Ng, Linn Van Dyne, Soon AngAbstractAdopting a voice instrumentality perspective, we argue that cultural distance between the person speaking up and the voice targets will dampen voice behavior because of uncertainty surrounding what is appropriate and effective voice behavior. We further propose that cultural intelligence (CQ) mitigates this negative relationship and advance a mediated moderation model where the interactive effect of cultural distance and CQ on voice is mediated by perceived voi...
