Abstract: The study contributes to the family business literature by examining the intersection of succession and opportunities and extends an existing line of research on entrepreneurial behavior in family firms by examining opportunity perception by 119 family business successors. The authors investigate the successors’ self-efficacy, education, and work experience, together with their perception of entrepreneurial opportunities. The results suggest that successors who perceive new opportunities balance and combine their family firm—specific human capital built through experience within the family firm with general human capital built through education and other work experience to generate new ideas leading to the entrepreneurial opportunity perception.

Abstract: Using dynamic theory and methods, we investigate the phenomenon of older workers who withdraw from paid work while still healthy. We focus on intention to retire as the penultimate stage in the retirement process. We extend socio‐emotional selectivity theory to explain the growth of intention to retire. Older workers have a rising perception of time running out but good health allows for an ongoing choice between remaining in work or active retirement. While, in general, older people in poor health have a greater intention to retire than those in good health, we hypothesize that the passage of time motivates the healthy to increase their intention to retire, especially when manager support is low. We examine longitudinal data consisting of three waves of survey responses (2011, 2012, and 2013) from 495 workers in their 50th year and older. We employ growth curve analysis (random coefficient modeling). The findings show that over a 2‐year period, in contrast to other older workers whose retirement intention remains stable, in iduals in consistently good health but with low manager support demonstrate a growth in intention to retire. That is, we identify the “queue jumpers”: those workers who speeded up their retirement process relative to other older workers.

Abstract: – The purpose of this paper is to explore the complex relationships between gender and entrepreneurial intentions. – This paper uses a two study design where the second study is a constructive replication of the first study. The first study uses a cross-sectional design, while the second uses a design where data collection of variables were temporally separated. The analysis is conducted using Hayes (2014) process macro using 1,000 bootstrapped draws to understand the interaction between gender and creativity and the potential mediation involving life roles and goals. – The empirical results are threefold. First, the results show that creativity has a direct and positive effect on entrepreneurial intentions. Second, gender did not have a direct effect on entrepreneurial intentions, and finally, gender showed an interaction with creativity such that in both the s les, creativity had a stronger relationship with intentions among women. – The results point to the inclusion of creativity exercises in the entrepreneurship curriculum as well as to create and tailor programs to enhance women’s entrepreneurial intentions. – Using a two study constructive replication approach, this study demonstrates the complex effect of gender on entrepreneurial intentions. Traditionally, women are argued to have lower entrepreneurial intentions, but this study finds that creative women were more likely to have entrepreneurial intentions in the s le. The results also show that the women’s family salience (life roles and goals) did not mediate the relationship between gender and entrepreneurial intentions.

Abstract: Women constitute the majority of the Australian public sector workforce, but their representation in senior roles is not proportional. Australian public services have gender targets to improve the representation of women in senior roles. Based on previous research, targets are expected to first increase female representation at the target's focal level, such as executive level. Then they should initiate a trickle‐down effect (TDE), increasing female representation at the level immediately below the target's focal level, such as the executive feeder level. However, the TDE observed in a state public service decelerated after a gender target was imposed. We identified whether in idual departments had a consistent or inconsistent TDE and conducted 13 semi‐structured interviews with key stakeholders. Too many service‐wide targets with low prioritisation of a gender target, as well as missing and ineffective practices, generated decoupling dynamics. Only departments with gender ch ions who had visible backing from the Chief Executive were able to keep the gender target coupled with practice to achieve its intended outcomes. Gender targets in Australian public services may not be achieving intended outcomes due to decoupling—a response to policies in which the policies are ignored and/or ineffective practices are implemented. Too many competing targets and limited accountability for achieving a gender target create a potential for decoupling by allowing in iduals and groups to ignore or weakly adopt the policy. Integrated bundles of top‐down (e.g. requiring at least two women on shortlists) and bottom‐up practices (e.g. mentoring) can help avoid decoupling by ensuring women are appointed to senior roles and supported to progress through an organisation. Chief Executives are key to ensuring a gender target remains coupled with its implementation Chief Executives must provide visible support to internal ch ions to make gender targets effective.

Abstract: It is increasingly common to test hypotheses combining moderation and mediation. Structural equation modeling (SEM) has been the favored approach to testing mediation hypotheses. However, the biggest challenge to testing moderation hypotheses in SEM was the complexity underlying the modeling of latent variable interactions. We discuss the latent moderated structural equation procedure (LMS) approach to specifying latent variable interactions, which is implemented in Mplus, and offer a simple and accessible way of testing combined moderation and mediation hypotheses using SEM. To do so, we provide s le code for six commonly encountered moderation and mediation cases and relevant equations that can be easily adapted to researchers’ data. By articulating the similarities in the two different approaches, discussing the combination of moderation and mediation, we also contribute to the research methods literature.

Abstract: Immigrant groups often pursue entrepreneurial endeavors in their new home country. Even though both immigrant entrepreneurship and organizational identity have received scholarly attention, there has been little systematic exploration of identity strategies pursued by immigrant-owned organizations. In this article, we develop a theoretical framework that draws on the concepts of liability of foreignness and social identity theory in the context of immigrant entrepreneurship. Our framework explores how immigrant entrepreneurs may negotiate identities for their firms through the development of specific identity strategies that confirm or underplay their national/ethnic identities in order to survive in their immediate environment. We develop a model that shows how these confirmations or underplaying strategies work both for firms that have an in idualistic entrepreneurial orientation, as well as those with a collective/associative entrepreneurial orientation. We also suggest two contextual moderators to this relationship: (1) the image of the founder's country of origin, and (2) the presence of immigrant networks in the host country, which may alter the effectiveness of identity strategies in terms of organizational mortality outcomes.

Abstract: The topic of cultural ersity in hospitality firms has been somewhat neglected in the abundant research on cultural ersity in organizations. To overcome the gap, the purpose of the research was to examine the antecedents and outcomes of employing a culturally erse workforce in hotels. Results from semistructured interviews showed there are four antecedents for the increase in cultural ersity and outcomes reflect significantly more benefits than challenges. Our findings suggest the benefits of cultural ersity come from the informational advantages, supporting the processing perspective. The challenges of ersity are rooted in the social categorization and in-group-out-group dynamics, lending support to the social identity theory. This study advances ersity literature based on research evidence of the various antecedents and outcomes in employing a culturally erse workforce. Implications for ersity management are offered so the benefits may be sustained, and the challenges may be minimized in hospitality firms.
