“…Finally, in executing a holistic review of competitiveness, we identified a glaring gap between theory and practice. As identified by Wood et al (2022), the scope and relevance of organizational research to society and practice remains in question today, and given how ubiquitous competition is to society, this gap is alarming. Despite all that we know about competitiveness, little has been done to apply it to workplace settings and to inform any practitioners about how to leverage it or attenuate it as necessary.…”

Purpose Competitiveness is an individual difference variable that incorporates factors generally associated with the desire to excel in comparison to others and the enjoyment of competition. There is still much debate on whether it is helpful or harmful, which may stem from the scattered ways in which it is studied. Thereby, this study aims to properly synthesize the literature concerning the prevailing correlates, underlying theory and frequent applications of competitiveness and to set forth an outline of domains in need of further research and exploration. Design/methodology/approach The authors do so by using two methods of analysis on a representative sample of 546 peer-reviewed publications. Findings The authors find that competitiveness research has and will continue to grow expeditiously, but its complexity and cloudiness have not yet been attenuated. Originality/value The study uncovers opportunities for pertinent future research on competitiveness to grow more productively and collaboratively by highlighting salient works and identifying the fragmentations that have led the literature into a state of disarray.

“…In the sub-section on modes of knowledge production, we took as a source the study by Wood, Souza, and Caldas (2022), based on the bibliometric approach of citation network analysis, which provided significant contributions to the topic. In this subsection, we highlight the paper by Gibbons et al (1994), which accumulated, in December 2022, about 22 thousand citations in Google Scholar.…”

In recent decades, changes in science have been characterized by internationalization and the quest for impact. This article introduces the impact assessment process of 23 research projects of the Capes prInt Program aimed at internationalizing Brazilian science. This work developed an impact assessment model, applying it experimentally. The development was based on scientific texts on modes of production of scientific knowledge and impact assessment. The assessment revealed that, despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the projects have advanced in their internationalization goals. As for the impacts, those related to science and education predominated, with a significant number of projects also indicating impacts on public policies and organizational practices. The article adds to understanding modes of knowledge production and research impact measurement. Furthermore, it can be useful to directors of research institutions, research managers, and researchers interested in measuring the research impact on organizations and society.

“…Over time, constructs go through various changes, with the relevance of management research being reevaluated over a 140-year span (Wood et al , 2022), and changes within the management literature (Pollach, 2022) being no different when it comes to how constructs are viewed. Indeed, some concepts become more focused, such as performance management, which in the past 20 years, has undergone a change from firms conducting a once or twice a year evaluation to having “forward-looking, feedback-enriched” systems (Justin and Joy, 2022, p. 428).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to systematically examine and classify the multitude of personality traits that have emerged in the literature beyond the Big Five (Five Factor Model) since the turn of the 21st century. The authors argue that this represents a new phase of personality research that is characterized both by construct proliferation and a movement away from the Big Five and demonstrates how personality as a construct has substantially evolved in the 21st century. Design/methodology/approach The authors conducted a comprehensive, systematic review of personality research from 2000 to 2020 across 17 management and psychology journals. This search yielded 1,901 articles, of which 440 were relevant and subsequently coded for this review. Findings The review presented in this study uncovers 155 traits, beyond the Big Five, that have been explored, which the authors organize and analyze into 10 distinct categories. Each category comprises a definition, lists the included traits and highlights an exemplar construct. The authors also specify the significant research outcomes associated with each trait category. Originality/value This review categorizes the 155 personality traits that have emerged in the management and psychology literature that describe personality beyond the Big Five. Based on these findings, this study proposes new avenues for future research and offers insights into the future of the field as the concept of personality has shifted in the 21st century.
