“…Leaders reported teams' shared vision (three items used in Pearce & Ensley, 2004) and their identification with the team (five items used in Smidts, Pruyn, & van Riel, 2001), and members reported their perceived team potency (five items used in Guzzo, Yost, Campbell, & Shea, 1993). All three measures were assessed with a 7-point Likert scale (1 ϭ strongly disagree, 7 ϭ strongly agree).…”

Several methods for testing mediation hypotheses with 2-level nested data have been proposed by researchers using a multilevel modeling (MLM) paradigm. However, these MLM approaches do not accommodate mediation pathways with Level-2 outcomes and may produce conflated estimates of between-and within-level components of indirect effects. Moreover, these methods have each appeared in isolation, so a unified framework that integrates the existing methods, as well as new multilevel mediation models, is lacking. Here we show that a multilevel structural equation modeling (MSEM) paradigm can overcome these 2 limitations of mediation analysis with MLM. We present an integrative 2-level MSEM mathematical framework that subsumes new and existing multilevel mediation approaches as special cases. We use several applied examples and accompanying software code to illustrate the flexibility of this framework and to show that different substantive conclusions can be drawn using MSEM versus MLM. Researchers in behavioral, educational, and organizational research settings often are interested in testing mediation hypotheses with hierarchically clustered data. For example, Bacharach, Bamberger, and Doveh (2008) investigated the mediating role of distress in the relationship between the intensity of involvement in work-related incidents and problematic drinking behavior among firefighting personnel. They used data in which firefighters were nested within ladder companies and all three variables were assessed at the subject level. Using data from customer service engineers working in teams, Maynard, Mathieu, Marsh, and Ruddy (2007) found that team-level interpersonal processes mediate the relationship between team-level resistance to empowerment and individual job satisfaction. Both of these examples-and many others-involve data that vary both within and between higher level units. Traditional methods for assessing mediation (e.g., Baron & Kenny, 1986;MacKinnon, Lockwood, Hoffman, West, & Sheets, 2002;MacKinnon, Warsi, & Dwyer, 1995) are inappropriate in these multilevel settings, primarily because the assumption of independence of observations is violated when clustered data are used, leading to downwardly biased standard errors if ordinary regression is used. For this reason, several methods have been proposed for addressing mediation hypotheses when the data are hierarchically organized.These recommended procedures for testing multilevel mediation have been developed and framed almost exclusively within the standard multilevel modeling (MLM) paradigm (for thorough treatments of MLM, see Bryk, 2002, andSnijders &Bosker, 1999) and implemented with commercially available MLM software, such as SAS PROC MIXED, HLM, or MLwiN. For example, some authors have discussed models in which the independent variable X, mediator M, and dependent variable Y all are measured at Level 1 of a two-level hierarchy (a 1-1-1 design, adopting notation proposed by Krull & MacKinnon, 2001), 1 and slopes either are fixed (Pituch, Whittaker, & Stapleton, 2005...

“…Open communication is determined by the communication climate, defined as "the perception of employees with regard to the quality of the mutual relations and the communication in an organization" (Bartels et al, 2007, p. 177). This describes whether employees feel comfortable talking to management and peers, and whether they perceive information they receive from the organization as trustworthy (Smidts et al, 2001). If the communication climate is evaluated positively employees are more likely to engage actively in conversations around organizational issues or in organizational decision making processes.…”

Trickle Effects of Cross-Sector Social Partnerships

2010

Cross-sector social partnerships are often studied from a macro and meso perspective, also in an attempt to assess effectiveness and societal impact. This paper pays specific attention to the micro perspective, i.e. individual interactions between and within organizations related to partnerships that address the 'social good'. By focusing on the potential effects and mechanisms at the level of individuals and the organization(s) with which they interact, it aims to help fill a gap in research on partnerships, including more insight into the process of interaction. We conceptually explore microlevel interactions, and how partnership effects may 'trickle down' (e.g. from management to employees), or 'trickle up' (from employees to management), or 'trickle round' (e.g. between employees). Based on literature from various disciplines, we discuss how more generic theories on social exchange and contagion, social learning and attraction-selection-attrition can help shed light on micro-level interactions in a partnership, considering in particular transmission mechanisms via employees, top and middle management, and customers. In this way, partnerships can have wider benefits, as individuals have multiple roles and effects at the micro level can spread to the meso and macro levels as well. Implications for research and practice are outlined.

“…Family business owners' integrity and self-worth are tied to the family firm's reputation (Dutton, Dukerich and Harquail, 1994;Smidts et al, 2001), particularly when the firm is more visible in the eyes of public through higher levels of ownership. Therefore, family business owners may forego the potential benefits of internationalisation when family ownership is at higher levels.…”

There has been a prominent stream of research investigating internationalisation of organisations. While the importance of transaction costs in the governance decisions of firms has been well established in the literature, transaction cost theory (TCT) in family firms remains underutilised. We examine the impact of family governance (i.e. family ownership and involvement in management and the board of directors) on internationalisation within the domain of TCT using 386 S&P 500 firms. Our findings indicate an inverted U-shaped relationship between family ownership and internationalisation and a U-shaped relationship between family's involvement in management and the board and internationalisation. This illustrates the interesting differential impact of the components of family involvement on internationalisation. We conclude by discussing future research and implications for practice.Keywords: family firms; family management; family ownership; internationalisation; transaction cost theory.Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Memili, E., Misra, K., Chrisman, J.J. and Welsh, D.H.B.
