Abstract = {This book’s 31 chapters reflect trust as an important and
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.},

Title = {Organizational control},
Pages = {1-541},
Publisher = {Cambridge University Press},
Year = {2010},
Month = {January},
ISBN = {9780521517447},
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..},

Abstract = {Control and trust issues are at the heart of collaboration
in and between organizations. In this introduction to the
Special Issue (SI) on the control-trust dynamics, we first
propose an integrative framework to take stock of the main
themes discussed in both the micro and macro literature. We
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)
outcomes, and (6) context.},

Journal = {The Academy of Management Annals},
Volume = {17},
Number = {1},
Pages = {331-372},
Year = {2023},
Month = {January},
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.},

Development in Business Schools},
Journal = {Journal of Leadership & Organizational Studies},
Volume = {29},
Number = {1},
Pages = {5-32},
Year = {2022},
Month = {February},
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.},

develop richer and more complete but also more nuanced
understandings of how individuals experience and engage the

for formalizing an information processing perspective on
organizational control implementation that differs but is

we drew on case study data of a reorganized court of law,

administrators, to develop a dynamic theory of distrust. We
used insights from the literatures on distrust, conflict
escalation, and professional-organization relations to guide
the analysis of our case data. Our research is consistent
with insights on distrust previously postulated, but we were
able to extend and make more precise the perceptions and
behaviors that make up the elements of the self-amplifying
cycle of distrust development, how these elements are
related, and the mechanisms of amplification that drive the
cycle. To help guide and focus future research, we modeled
the process by which distrust emerges and develops, and we
drew inferences on how it can be repaired.},

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.},

Journal = {The Academy of Management Annals},
Volume = {7},
Number = {1},
Pages = {1-60},
Publisher = {Academy of Management},
Year = {2013},
Month = {January},
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.},

have introduced specialized initiatives to encourage a
broader dissemination of ideas and knowledge among
organizational members, these initiatives often fail. This
chapter provides reasons as to why this is so. Instead of
focusing on why individuals might share their knowledge,
however, we explain why individuals keep their knowledge to
themselves. Multiple perspectives are offered, including
social exchange, norms of secrecy, and territorial
behaviors. © 2008 Emerald Group Publishing

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
lower when either of the other factors was high. In two
studies, both using the Lind-Sitkin Multiple Domain
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
impressions of leaders' sacrifice. To test the generality of
the phenomena, Study 1 included data from respondents in the
US, India, and Germany; Study 2 included data from
respondents in New Zealand and the US. The results supported
the hypotheses.},

Abstract = {This article examines formal and informal decision criteria
used by organizational decision-makers when making
potentially controversial, legitimacy-relating decisions
that could damage trust. Two experimental studies found
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
legitimated control uniformly enhances trust. In contrast,
this article posits and finds support for an attenuated
legalistic institutional proposition that increased use of
even legitimated control can predictably foster, or
undermine, trust - but such predictions can be made only if
we systematically distinguish formal and informal control.
Results suggest institutional pressures manifest at the
individual level provide a complementary focus to
macro-organizational institutionalization.},

created and evolve through specific phases of the founding
period, the research also provides new data and insights
about what drives shifts in the use of various types of
control. Specifically, this research sheds light on the role
of imbalance among formal and informal controls as the key
driver of shifts in control configurations, and provides a
step toward making organizational control theory more
dynamic.},

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

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

it supports the argument that social accounts can be an

identify tradeoffs and dilemmas created when social accounts

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
