Intelligence tests in personnel selection
New research by Chris Berry published in Journal of Applied Psychology builds on recent studies showing that that the validity of intelligence tests in personnel selection has been overestimated and finds that excluding intelligence tests from the selection process has little impact on validity but significantly reduces adverse impact. This shifts the focus from intelligence tests to other selection methods when working to maximize diversity and validity in hiring practices.
Immigrant CEOs' impact on social irresponsibility
New Research by Juan Bu, Stephanie Wang, Yeejee Lee, and Dan Li published in Strategic Management Journal shows that immigrant CEOs reduce the number of multi-national enterprises’ irresponsible incidents because of their strong psychological attachment to their homelands, and because their social networks in their homelands mitigate negative media coverage.
Craft ventures during market disruption
In most market categories, being an exemplar (i.e., large, well-established, and familiar) serves as a resource. However, new research by Blake Mathias and co-authors published in Journal of Business Venturing finds that in most craft-based categories these features often serve as a liability, as consumers prefer qualities such as smallness, newness, innovativeness, and localness. Yet, market disruptions can upend these patterns. As consumers seek out certainty during uncertain times, they often turn to companies with well-known, familiar, and tried-and-true products. In craft-based categories, the fortunes of exemplars and smaller, newer firms may diverge during times of plenty compared to times of crisis.
Crisis management
Crises can significantly impact organizational outcomes, prompting interest in crisis management. However, existing research often overlooks stakeholders' diverse concerns and the various factors influencing response strategies. Research by Farhan Iqbal published in Academy of Management Review breaks down stakeholders' concerns into rational, emotional, and moral categories and considers multiple dimensions of crisis response strategies in order to develop a framework for how organizations can respond to crises. The framework helps predict the effectiveness of different response strategies in addressing stakeholders’ concerns and highlights the trade-offs associated with each strategy.
Smart Disclosure by Multinational Firms
Research by Stephanie Wang, Yejee Lee, and Dan Li shows how multinationals firms can utilize smart disclosure— the use of digital technologies to improve intelligence and interconnectedness among all relevant information sources and users— as a visibility-enhancing mechanism for exerting compliance pressure and fostering an environment where adherence to human rights standards is supported.
Measuring Entrepreneurial Hustle
Research by former doctoral students Devin Burnell and Emily Neubert as well as M&E faculty Greg Fisher, Regan Stevenson, and Don Kuratko develops a valid and reliable measure of entrepreneurial hustle, defined as "the urgent and unorthodox actions entrepreneurs use to address obstacles and opportunities under uncertainty," and shows that entrepreneurial hustle is positively associated with venture performance.
Teaching Innovation
Kelley School of Business students in Professor Catherine Kleshinski’s Honors Leadership course observed a jazz quartet from the IU Jacobs School of Music to learn about team processes and the things you don't see that are critical for making a team successful. Professor Kleshinski, who organized this experiential learning opportunity, said she and her students were “completely blown away—with the world-class quality of the music performance; how well they unpacked all of the team dynamics and leadership at play before, during, and after their performance, including the roles that trust, interdependence, and psychological safety play in making the team successful.” This is an example of Kelley's innovative approach to teaching and experiential learning, and the wealth of collaborative opportunities available at IU.
