During the COVID-19 pandemic, many organizations worldwide have witnessed an unprecedented need for organizational change that rapidly transformed the work environment and operational procedures. This study focuses on leaders’ experiences during COVID-19 as an opportunity for complexity leadership scholars to apply new ways of thinking to leadership practices. This study attends to the concepts of leading with empathy and fostering organizational environments where individuals feel a sense of belonging. This is important because the COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated the need for organizations to create a supportive environment for employees. Specifically, this study focuses on how individuals’ leadership experiences during a time of complexity (i.e., COVID-19) serves to examine and shift leadership paradigms in organizations.

Encouraging employees’ innovative behavior (EIB) is one of the most important leadership task and numerous studies have examined the links between leadership and EIB. However, the research field is highly fragmented and does not provide a unified conception of innovative leadership. Using a qualitative content analysis, we investigate which leadership competencies are mentioned related to EIB. We turn away from leadership styles and apply a behavioral-focused competency approach. We first identify specific competencies mentioned in connection with EIB. Subsequently, we prioritize the results by examining which leader competencies are described as necessary conditions for EIB. The results show clear differences between competencies described as innovation-promoting and competencies characterized as necessary for EIB. Of the variety of competencies considered as EIB- promoting, only a very small part seems to be a necessary prerequisite for EIB. Based on the results, we present seven theoretical propositions and a concise model of innovative leadership.

This study investigates how the governance policy of disintermediation, i.e., restricting communication channels through which complementors can persuade buyers to circumvent the platform and transact directly, affects complementors' innovation behaviors. We leverage a governance policy change on Amazon.com (the focal platform) to examine complementors’ responses in adjusting innovation behaviors and product portfolios. Based on a coarsened exact matching (CEM) with the difference-in-differences (DID) empirical approach, we find that complementors who are affected by the disintermediation governance policy (treated complementors) significantly decrease the number of new products launched on the focal platform compared to the matched complementors who are not directly exposed to the policy (controlled complementors). Such an effect is mitigated by a complementor’s reputation and strengthened by a complementor’s capacity constraints. Supplemental analyses of the mechanisms show that treated complementors first significantly reduce the total number of new product developments, i.e., the income effect, and then increase the number of new products launched off the focal platform after the policy change, i.e., the switching effect. Moreover, treated complementors strategically switch the high-end products away while leaving low-end products on the focal platform, i.e., the bait effect. Our analysis of complementors' strategic responses to the platform governance policy against disintermediation sheds light on platform governance in balancing complementors’ extensive-margin and intensive-margin innovative activities and in directing complementors' innovation and product portfolio strategies.

This article provides a macro-sociological analysis of the rise and transformation of entrepreneurship as an ideology in international development discourse over time. Drawing upon over 5,000 documents produced by UNESCO and the World Bank from 1950 to 2021, this article examines how dominant ideas around applications and purposes of entrepreneurship, as well as the role of the entrepreneur, in international development discourse evolved over time. The article illustrates that entrepreneurship in international development discourse underwent a shift from the 1950s to the 2010s, with a marked change occurring around the turn of the twenty-first century. It argues that the role and purposes of entrepreneurship become increasingly expanded over time to be viewed as a solution that can address the world's social, economic, cultural, and environmental challenges. It further asserts that entrepreneurship, influenced by world cultural norms of empowered individualism and agency, becomes perceived as something that any individual can engage in as long as they have the motivation, drive, and vision to do so. The idealized image and purpose of the entrepreneur by the twenty-first century is no longer someone motivated by economic gain; instead, the ideal entrepreneur is inspired by a desire to influence change in the world toward development and progress.

The endurance of shared meanings that shape individual behaviors is a central feature of organizational life, but organization science reduces the persistence of institutions to the absence of change. We argue that institutions can endure precisely because how they are instantiated in wider meaning structures changes. We conceptualize and operationalize such dynamic persistence by combining scholarship on institutional change, which emphasizes that changing meanings influence how organizations operate because institutions are dynamic rather than static; and cultural sociology, which has used co-occurrences to show how ideas are embedded in meaning structures. We examine institutions and their instantiations through dynamic topic modeling. We develop diagnostic measures that allow tracking change in large corpora. We illustrate our argument and method using a 140-year corpus of reports of the City of Vienna to show that the persistence of public housing as an institution was only possible due to periodically changing instantiations and affiliations with broader meanings. Our paper contributes a dynamic and contextual approach to studies of institutional persistence that will allow future research to test theory-led expectations about persistence and change in big text data. We conclude with insights for studying temporal and geographic heterogeneity when institutions change.
