“…Sports settings offer fine-grained statistics that have been leveraged to contribute to conversations on status and reputation. In their contributions to these conversations, scholars have used different kinds of data, such as players’ competitive actions (Bothner, Kang, & Stuart, 2007), salaries (Christie & Barling, 2010; Marr & Thau, 2014), indications of deference (Anderson, Willer, Kilduff, & Brown, 2012; Huang & Washington, 2015), rankings (Bothner, Kim, & Smith, 2012; Kim & King, 2014), and performance-related outcomes (Bothner et al, 2012; Christie & Barling, 2010; Flynn & Amanatullah, 2012; Maoret, Marchesini, & Ertug, in press; Waguespack & Salomon, 2016). Scholars have also examined status- and reputation-related effects and mechanisms that apply to sports executives (Radaelli, Dell’Era, Frattini, & Messeni Petruzzelli, 2018), coaches (Kilduff, Galinsky, Gallo, & Reade, 2016; Treadway et al, 2014), and institutions (Sahib, 2015).…”
