Wise leaders fostering employees’ speaking up behaviors: developing and validat...
Rego, Arménio; Meyer, Marcel; Júnior, Dálcio Reis; Cunha, Miguel Pina ePractical wisdom, an essential component of leadership, has been approached mainly from a theoretical perspective. While there are barely any empirical studies on leaders’ practical wisdom, quantitative ones are even rarer, and no valid measure of a leader’s practical wisdom exists. Thus, our understanding of whether and how wise leaders influence their followers is limited. Inspired by Thomas Aquinas’ ideas on...
Are gritty leaders happier or unhappier? it depends on how prudent they are
Rego, Arménio; Bluhm, Dustin J.; Valverde, Camilo; Cunha, Miguel Pina eGrit in leaders (and, in general, all employees) typically results in greater success and well-being but also has potential downsides. We propose that gritty leaders also need to be prudent or they may spend excessive time and resources at work, leading to greater work-to-family conflict and, as a result, lower well-being. Findings of two studies support this reasoning. Grittier and imprudent leaders experience...
Are morally courageous leaders more effective?
Rego, Arménio; Simpson, Ace Volkmann; Bluhm, Dustin J.; Cunha, Miguel Pina eDetecting, interpreting, assuming responsibility, and being driven to act upon situations with potential ethical implications requires morally courageous leaders to be continuously ‘tuned’ to the environment. We argue that this ‘tuning’ facilitates leader respect for employees and greater receptiveness to their inputs, and that it is through these mechanisms that leader moral courage is positively related to le...
Leader-expressed forgiveness and team performance: a two-paths model
Rego, Arménio; Valverde, Camilo; Oliveira, Eduardo; Silard, Anthony; Cunha, Miguel Pina e; Sobral, FilipaAs role models and salient sources of social information, forgiving leaders are prosocial facilitators of team interactions, with consequences for team performance. Through a multi-source field study (227 teams/leaders) and a vignette-based experiment (101 teams), we show that (a) leader-expressed forgiveness predicts team performance through, serially, team forgiveness climate and team helping behavior, and (b...
The garage in entrepreneurship and innovation: four archetypes
Cunha, Miguel Pina e; Sarkar, Soumodip; Rego, Arménio; Gaim, MedhanieThis paper explores the role of the garage in entrepreneurship and innovation. By engaging sociomaterial and symbolic views, it develops a typology that aims not to repeat an overly romantic view of the garage as the space where lone heroic entrepreneurs start their ventures in idealized seclusion from the rest of humanity nor to dismiss it as a flawed, useless idea. By discussing four archetypes, the paper com...
Hot management trends
Ratten, Vanessa; Nanere, Marthin G.; Cunha, Miguel Pina e; Fujimoto, Yuka; Intezari, Ali; García-Fernández, Jerónimo; Dhakal, Subas; Omri, WaleedManagement practices are constantly changing amid intense competitive global pressure. This can put a strain on managers in terms of adapting to new challenges that arise from rapid transformations. While there is an emphasis on timely transformations in order to increase efficiency and productivity gains, there can also be a relaxation when managers have reached their pinnacle and achieved their goals. The goa...
Destructive leadership paradoxes
Cunha, Miguel Pina e; Simpson, Ace Volkmann; Rego, Arménio; Berti, MarcoThe paradoxical side of leadership is being increasingly studied by management and organization scholars. Organizational paradox theory has generally favored a synergistic understanding of paradoxical tensions, seen as opportunities to obtain competitive advantage through the generative integration of opposing but equally desirable results. Less attention has been given to the other side of paradoxical tensions...
How leaders ‘strength of heart’ and ‘strength of will’ enhance team performance
Rego, Arménio; Simpson, Ace V.; Cunha, Miguel Pina e; Silard, Anthony; Oliveira, Eduardo André da Silva; Mamédio, Diórgenes FalcãoWe investigate the influence of leaders’ dispositional compassion on team development and performance through two studies. In the first multi-source study (n = 154 team leaders), leaders’ dispositional compassion is found to be associated with improved team performance through the adoption of helping behaviors aimed at developing team capabilities. This relationship is moderated by leaders’ perseverance, sugges...
How knowledge-based dynamic capabilities relate to firm performance: the mediat...
Hernández-Linares, Remedios; López-Fernández, María Concepción; García-Piqueres, Gema; Cunha, Miguel Pina e; Rego, ArménioTo examine how knowledge-based dynamic capabilities relate to firm performance through the mediating role of entrepreneurial orientation, we analyzed data of a sample of 1047 Portuguese and Spanish small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) of all industry sectors. The results reveal that knowledge-based dynamic capabilities are associated with firm performance and that the relationship is partially mediated by ...
New space and the future of capitalism
Cunha, Miguel Pina e; Clegg, Stewart; Rego, Arménio; Berti, MarcoOnce upon a time it was just infinitesimally there. With the dawn of space exploration in the late 1950s it has slowly become apparent that governance of space is necessary. Given important developments in the domain of space exploration and the complex management challenges involved, it is timely to incorporate this domain and its role in the future of capitalism. We explore organization involvement in outer s...
