             vibrant field of study, both in terms of what has already
             been done, but more significantly in the fruitful future
             research agendas our contributing authors have outlined. The
             chapters that comprise the book’s six parts highlight some
             of the foundational approaches and building blocks in this
             field. In this last chapter, we do not merely repeat what
             our contributors have identified, but instead offer a
             meta-level perspective that identifies eight challenges and
             future directions for study.},

   Abstract = {Organization scholars have long acknowledged that control
             processes are integral to the way in which organizations
             function. While control theory research spans many decades
             and draws on several rich traditions, theoretical
             limitations have kept it from generating consistent and
             interpretable empirical findings and from reaching consensus
             concerning the nature of key relationships. This book
             reveals how we can overcome such problems by synthesising
             diverse, yet complementary, streams of control research into
             a theoretical framework and empirical tests that more fully
             describe how types of control mechanisms (e.G., the use of
             rules, norms, direct supervision or monitoring) aimed at
             particular control targets (e.g., input, behavior, output)
             are applied within particular types of control systems
             (i.e., market, clan, bureaucracy, integrative). Written by a
             team of distinguished scholars, this book not only sheds
             light on the long-neglected phenomenon of organizational
             control, it also provides important directions for future
             research..},

             propose an integrative framework to take stock of the main

             then contextualize how the papers in this issue flesh out
             key mechanisms underlying the interplay between control and
             trust over time. The remainder of the introduction
             highlights directions for future research by refining and
             extending our understanding of control and trust as
             mechanisms of collaboration across levels of analysis. Our
             future research suggestions are organized around the main
             building blocks of control-trust research: (1) constructs,
             (2) interactions, (3) actors, (4) temporal dynamics, (5)

   Abstract = {We systematically review eight positive (authentic,
             charismatic, consideration and initiating structure,
             empowering, ethical, instrumental, servant, and
             transformational leadership) and two negative leadership
             styles (abusive supervision and destructive leadership) and
             identify valence-based conflation as a limitation common to
             all ten styles. This limitation rests on specifying
             behaviors as inherently positive or negative and leads to
             mixing the description of the content of leadership
             behaviors with the evaluation of their underlying
             intentions, quality of execution, or behavioral effects. We
             outline how this conflation leads to amalgamation, construct
             redundancy, and most problematically, causal indeterminacy,
             which calls into question the entire evidence base of
             leadership style research. These weaknesses are not limited
             to the ten leadership styles but are inherent in the
             valenced research logic that has been dominant for seventy
             years. Thus, the common finding that positive leadership
             styles lead to positive outcomes and negative styles lead to
             negative outcomes might be an artifact of conflation rather
             than a reflection of reality. To address these concerns, we
             suggest distinguishing between intended and displayed
             leadership styles, as well as their realized effects. We
             also call for utilizing a configurational approach. These
             recommended actions would provide a strong foundation for
             future research on leadership styles.},

   Abstract = {Academics have lamented that practitioners do not always
             adopt scientific evidence in practice, yet while academics
             preach evidence-based management (EBM), they do not always
             practice it. This paper extends prior literature on
             difficulties to engage in EBM with insights from behavioral
             integrity (i.e., the study of what makes individuals and
             collectives walk their talk). We focus on leader
             development, widely used but often critiqued for lacking
             evidence. Analyzing 60 interviews with academic directors of
             leadership centers at top business schools, we find that the
             selection of programs does not always align with scientific
             recommendations nor do schools always engage in high-quality
             program evaluation. Respondents further indicated a wide
             variety of challenges that help explain the disconnect
             between business schools claiming A but practicing B.
             Behavioral Integrity theory would argue these difficulties
             are rooted in the lack of an individually owned and
             collectively endorsed identity, an identity of an
             evidence-based leader developer (EBLD). A closer inspection
             of our data confirmed that the lack of a clear and salient
             EBLD identity makes it difficult for academics to walk their
             evidence-based leader development talk. We discuss how these
             findings can help facilitate more evidence-based leader
             development in an academic context.},

             the potentially wide array of control influences they

             controls are most effective for directing subordinates who

             pathways to building trust through leader behaviors with
             three distinct emphases: the leader (personal leadership),
             the leader-follower relationship (relational leadership),
             and the situation (contextual leadership). We test this
             model using experimental data collected from experienced
             managers (Study 1) and field data collected from the peers
             and direct reports of business executives (Study 2). The
             results from these two studies both build on and challenge
             current views in the trust and leadership literatures about
             how leaders influence trust. Consistent with past
             literature, our findings indicate that various leadership
             behaviors appear to directly promote follower trust when
             analyzed independently. However, when these behaviors are
             analyzed jointly, relational leadership behaviors were found
             to mediate the effects of personal and contextual leadership
             behaviors on follower trust. The implications for theory and
             practice are discussed.},

   Abstract = {There is a widely shared consensus that charismatic–transformational
             leadership is a particularly effective form of leadership.
             In a critical assessment of the state-of-the-science in this
             area of research, we question the validity of that
             conclusion. We identify four problems with theory and
             research in charismatic– transformational leadership.
             First, a clear conceptual definition of charismatic–transformational
             leadership is lacking. Current theories advance
             multi-dimensional conceptualizations of charismatic–transformational
             leadership without specifying how these different dimensions
             combine to form charismatic–transformational leadership,
             or how dimensions are selected for inclusion or exclusion.
             Second, theories fail to sufficiently specify the causal
             model capturing how each dimension has a distinct influence
             on mediating processes and outcomes and how this is
             contingent on moderating influences. Third,
             conceptualization and operationalization confounds
             charismatic– transformational leadership with its effects.
             Fourth, the most frequently used measurement tools are
             invalid in that they fail to reproduce the dimensional
             structure specified by theory and fail to achieve empirical
             distinctiveness from other aspects of leadership. Given that
             these problems are fundamental and inherent in the
             approaches analyzed, it is recommended that current
             approaches be abandoned, and that the field forego the label
             of charismatic– transformational leadership in favor of
             the study of more clearly defined and empirically distinct
             aspects of leadership.},

             will affect target firm member trust in the acquiring firm's

             consequences of trust dynamics in acquisitions. The model
             proposes that target firm members' perceptions of the
             acquiring firm management's trustworthiness are affected by
             the relationship history of the firms, the interfirm
             distance, and the integration approach taken by the
             acquirer. Ability, benevolence, integrity, and value
             congruence perceptions are proposed to converge into a
             generalized trust judgment or result in a state of
             ambivalence, depending on whether the trustworthiness

   Abstract = {Leaders' fairness may be just one of several heuristics -
             cognitive shortcuts - that followers use to decide quickly
             whether they can rely on a given leader to lead them to ends
             that are good for the collective, rather than just good for
             the leader. Other leadership heuristics might include leader
             prototypicality and leader self-sacrifice. We hypothesized
             that if these other factors do function as leadership
             heuristics they would interact with fairness such that the
             correlation of fairness with leadership evaluations would be

             Leadership Instrument, we measured followers' impressions of
             their supervisors' interactional fairness, and
             prototypicality, and their leadership evaluations and
             ratings of team community; in Study 2 we also measured

             consistent patterns of persistent use of formal controls and
             reduced use of informal controls under higher levels of
             perceived threat to trust. Institutional theory is
             consistent with the proposition that increased use of

   Abstract = {This article uses Goffman's work on moral standards and
             dramaturgical discipline to inform a case study featuring a
             hotel's procedures for guaranteeing reliable impression
             management. Through an analysis of archival material and 18
             interviews at two sites, we developed four categories of
             impression management behaviors. Viewing our analysis
             through Goffman's lens, we argue that procedures codify
             moral standards thereby offering employees specific means by
             which they can enact dramaturgical discipline. In our
             discussion we suggest several ways in which our case study
             reinforces and expands Goffman's original concepts. Our
             findings are (a) procedures can function as codified moral
             standards within the organizational setting, (b) procedures
             can serve as the basis for employee enactment of
             dramaturgical discipline, (c) the use of databases in
             collecting and storing information offers a new wrinkle to
             impression management theory, and (d) the use of incentives
             to pacify guests expands the defensive practices available
             to those engaging in impression management. © 2000, Taylor

   Abstract = {This paper builds upon the work of organizational and
             strategic management scholars who have conceptualized
             acquisitions as decision-making processes. We suggest that
             behavioral concepts of risk, specifically decision-maker
             risk perceptions and propensities, are key to understanding
             the process by which acquisition candidates are selected,
             the characteristics of pre-acquisition evaluation and
             negotiations, and approaches to post-acquisition
             integration. By drawing upon past work concerning the
             effects of these risk-related variables in other
             decision-making contexts, we develop propositions that
             conceptualize their impact on acquisition decision
             processes. Incorporation of risk as a key variable in
             process theories of acquisitions provides a stronger
             theoretical grounding for these theories, and suggests some
             important practical implications for managers. © 1996 JAI

   Abstract = {The HIV/AIDS epidemic has focused increased attention on
             catastrophic illnesses in the workplace, and because of the
             stigmas associated with HIV/AIDS, it raises three primary
             concerns for organizations: (1) organizational avoidance of
             legal sanctions and litigation; (2) the maintenance of
             organizational legitimacy; and (3) organizational protection
             of employee rights. Although many organizations adopt
             legalistic responses to cope with these concerns, the
             analysis presented in this article suggests that while
             legalistic approaches function well to protect
             organizational interests in terms of both legal liability
             and legitimacy, the are only partially able to protect
             employee rights. Drawing upon the limited literature on
             HIV/AIDS in the workplace, this article presents an agenda
             for future research on organizational responses to HIV/AIDS.

             legalistic “remedies” for trust-related problems to be
             ineffective in restoring trust. To explain this apparent
             ineffectiveness, this paper outlines a theory that
             distinguishes two dimensions of trust—task-specific
             reliability and value congruence—and shows how legalistic
             mechanisms respond only to reliability concerns, while
             ignoring value-related concerns. Organizational responses to
             employees with HIV/AIDS are used as a case illustration that
             supports the theory's major propositions. The paper

             behavioral strategies of conflict management (e.g.,
             avoidance, compromise, collaboration). However, conflict
             theory and research has overlooked a simple, but effective
             strategy for managing conflict: the use of social accounts
             or explanations. In this paper, we review the literature on
             the use of social accounts in conflict situations and find
             it supports the argument that social accounts can be an
             effective conflict- management strategy. Based on this

             theory development and research concerning the role of
             social accounts in conflict situations. In addition, we
             identify tradeoffs and dilemmas created when social accounts
             are used to manage conflict. © 1993, Sage Publications. All

             Numerous lessons learned from him as a doctoral student have

             Being humble enough to be open to criticism without

   Pages = {83-114},
   Booktitle = {Advances in Strategic Management},
   Year = {2018},
   Month = {January},
   Abstract = {In this chapter, the authors argue that organizational
             controls are best depicted and studied as sets of control
             configurations. Concepts from extant control research
             streams describing basic control elements as well as ideal
             types of control systems are used to identify and classify
             control configurations. The authors present compositional
             distinctions among four control configurations using a
             decade-long case study of a start-up company. By displaying
             how specific control elements are simultaneously distinct
             and intertwined in this company, the authors reveal
             significant theoretical insights that can assist scholars in
             distinguishing between different configurational patterns
             and in comprehending dynamics present in holistic
             perspectives of control. The authors conclude by discussing
             how conceptualizing controls as configurations most
             accurately reflects both organizational and managerial
             practice in ways that can motivate the development of new
             theories and approaches to studying this key aspect of
             organizational design. Because control configurations
             inherently reflect interdisciplinary concerns, and because
             such configurations affect the attainment of strategic
             goals, this work provides findings and ideas that fit the
             interests of a broad audience.},

   Abstract = {Organizational control is a fundamental aspect of organizing
             that has been largely neglected by organizational scholars
             for several decades. This volume brings together new
             approaches to organizational control theory and research by
             a diverse group of scholars with different scholarly
             viewpoints to show the vibrancy and future potential of the
             domain for generative scholarship. The purpose is to provide
             a springboard and touchstone for a renewal of work in this
             area. Priming a renaissance in control research: Control
             systems have long been recognized as a fundamental aspect of
             all organizations (Scott, 1992) through which managers seek
             to align employee capabilities, activities, and performance
             with organizational goals and aspirations (Cyert and March,
             1963; Merchant, 1985). Despite the fundamental nature of the
             phenomenon, its recognized importance, and some significant
             foundational work on organizational control, this area of
             study has been and remains seriously neglected.
             Specifically, organizational control is today
             underconceptualized in terms of its key constructs and its
             determinants and effects. As a result, organizational
             control has been subjected to only minimal theoretical and
             cumulative empirical study in recent years. The atrophy of
             control research in the domain of organization and
             management presents a striking contrast with a rise in
             recent attention to control in the managerial accounting
             literature, where it has achieved some prominence (Birnberg
             and Snodgrass, 1988; Davila, 2005; Davila and Foster, 2007;
             Henri, 2006; Hopwood, 2005; Merchant and Simons, 1986;
             Simons, 1991, 1994, 1995; Whitley, 1999).},

   Abstract = {Organization theory scholars have long acknowledged that
             control processes are integral to the way in which
             organizations function (Blau and Scott,1962; Etzioni, 1965;
             Tannenbaum, 1962). While control theory research spans many
             decades and draws on several rich traditions (Dunbar and
             Statler, Chapter 2), several theoretical problems have kept
             it from generating reasonably consistent and interpretable
             empirical findings and from reaching consensus concerning
             the nature of key relationships. As new forms of
             organizational relations (networks, alliances, mass
             customization, supply chains, consortia, contract employees,
             telecommuting, virtual teams, etc.) emerged in the late
             twentieth century, traditional organizational control
             theories were viewed as less and less relevant by
             organizational scholars. As a result, attention to
             organizational control research waned, with the exception of
             critical theorists (e.g., Adler, 2007; Tsoukas, 2007) and
             accounting researchers (e.g., Davilia and Foster, 2007;
             Whitley, 1999). For example, despite the importance of the
             topic and the pervasiveness of the control phenomenon in
             organizations, organizational control research has not been
             sufficiently cumulative. The control literature is rich, but
             deceptive. Although most organizational scholars might be
             shocked by our assertion, we observe that there is very
             little empirical work on control in the organizational
             literature relative to other classic and fundamental
             organizational phenomena (e.g., design-effectiveness,
             planning-performance, diversification-performance
             relationships). From a distance, it may appear as though
             there is a great deal of empirical work and that there is
             broad support for the few dominant control theories (e.g.,
             Merchant, 1985; Ouchi 1977, 1979).},

   Abstract = {Most previous research concerning communication media choke
             in organizations has stressed the capacity of media to
             convey data. More recently, scholars have examined the
             capacity of media to convey and manifest meaning. Rarely
             have both functions been considered concurrently. In this
             artcle, a model is proposed that not only permits the
             simultaneous examination of these two functions but reflects
             that media use is influenced by characteristics of the task,
             individual and organizational capability constraints, and
             normative factors. By exploring the implications of this
             expanded dual‐capacity perspective, a more encompassing
             theory of the determinants of communkation media use in
             organizations is proposed. Copyright © 1992, Wiley
