This article encourages a dual reading of Adam Smith's Theory of Moral Sentiments (TMS) and Wealth of Nations (WoN). The combined messages are important for contemporary business and management. One of the most important teachings from Adam Smith is that he makes us aware of the importance of an equilibrium between our own interests and those of individuals whom we deal and interact with in our economic life. When this is achieved with the help of the impartial spectator, in a well governed society, where there is simultaneous respect from individuals and the law for the natural flow of the economy, it is possible to achieve our own interests and those of our counterparts, and most important, we can project benefits, which may be unintended, to the society as a whole. Through this Smithian lens, we can see that business and management have a concern not only with economic projection, but also with the plurality of economic and social pursuits.

The purpose of this study is to examine what conflicting roles executives of international joint ventures (IJV) perceive and to explicate what consequences result from such discords, particularly how and under what conditions role conflicts relate to IJV performance. A qualitative approach was followed by analyzing 23 semi-structured interviews based on Saldaña's two coding cycles. Results present comprehensive catalogs of IJV executives' roles as well as role conflicts, along with a conceptual model that shows (positive, but especially negative) consequences of role conflicts. This model sheds light on the black box of the relationship between role conflicts and IJV performance, thus opening a promising basis for further behavioral research embedded in alliance management. In addition, the established catalogs of identified role(s) (conflicts) contribute to the research field of global leadership.

This study examines cross-boundary collaboration between middle managers working in health and social care in Finland. It approaches the topic from social representations theory, focusing on middle managers’ everyday perceptions and experiences of cross-boundary collaboration. Drawing images of collaboration was used as an arts-based method of data production. The data consisted of 14 drawings (one from each participating manager) depicting collaboration between managers and their verbal reflections. The visual and verbal data were analyzed by content analysis. The study identified four social representations of collaboration between managers: feeling of togetherness, challenge of dispersion, reward of practicality, and joys and sorrows of diversity. The paper contributes to the current knowledge on cross-boundary collaboration between managers with practical implications. In addition, the paper provides a novel theoretical and methodological approach to studying cross-boundary collaboration.

This study aims to understand how society views modern business practices and what is expected of businesses. To do this, we unearth the covert patterns and latent themes of corporate social responsibility (CSR) discourse in popular CSR and sustainability books. Building upon Habermas' discourse ethics, CSR and sustainability constructs are examined from societal perspectives, assuming that the notion of conceptualization is embedded in the societal context. We find two main themes which consistently refer to five dimensions of discourse: economic, social, environmental, philosophical, and political dimensions. Further, we found that an “expectation gap” exists between what the public expects business to accomplish, and what businesses believe they must accomplish in their responsibility agendas. We argue that the term CSR remains relatively academic and has limited exposure in public media.

This study investigates how the system justification motive manifests in employees’ voice/silence behavior at the workplace. It also explores the moderating effects of system justification on the linkage between abusive supervision and voice/silence behavior for blue- and white-collar employees. The field study generated responses from 905 employees in Turkey. Multi-group analysis reveals that the moderating effect of system justification motives varies by occupational class. In particular, the impact of abusive supervision on silence becomes more salient when white-collar employees endorse higher system justification motives. However, in the blue-collar sample, the absence of a moderating effect could be attributed to the strong main effect of system justification motives. The current study adds to the extant literature by applying a system justification perspective to voice and silence behavior by collar differences at work. It also provides important implications for managers in dealing with workplace mistreatment affecting all occupational groups, mainly when blue-collar employee silence is endemic and regulatory policies are inadequate.

This article revisits Smith's account of self-interest to critically explore challenges and debates surrounding sustainable finance in contemporary organizational and institutional settings. Adam Smith derives his notion of ‘self-interest’ as concerned with both ‘self-love’ (care for oneself) and ‘sympathy’ (care for others); elements that are increasingly siloed in contemporary business settings. Drawing inspiration from An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (WoN) and the insightful wisdom of The Theory of Moral Sentiments (TMS), this article aims to underscore how Smith's pivotal concepts, including sympathy, the impartial spectator, and justice, provide a strategic compass for characterizing demand within retail finance markets. More specifically, it argues for the potential for both demand and supply side considerations in sustainable finance to contemplate a more plural concept of self-interest. At the same time, it recognizes that currently available ESG (environmental, social, and governance) products are largely driven by ‘self-love,’ and as such, the ‘sympathy’ of investors is ignored, manipulated, or misplaced. To move beyond this socio-financial dilemma, we propose to segment sustainable finance into the ESG market and the SSI (social and sustainable investment) market, with the latter specifically addressing the demands for ‘sympathy.’ In this context, future work could explore and highlight the role of regulators in ensuring a Smithian self-interest in sustainable finance.

In the face of global economic volatility and widening socioeconomic disparities, there is a growing call to reevaluate prevailing economic models. Heterodox economists and management scholars increasingly emphasise the significance of happiness and subjective well-being, advocating for a well-being economy that prioritises human welfare over traditional growth-centric approaches. This article contributes to this discourse by critically examining Adam Smith's seminal works, particularly "The Wealth; of Nations" and "The Theory of Moral Sentiments." It argues for a nuanced; understanding of economic growth and progress, integrating subjective well-being and ethical considerations into contemporary management frameworks. Despite limited attention in management literature, Smith's ideas about the relationship between wealth and happiness offer valuable insights for modern management and the emerging field of well-being economics. This article explores how the relationship between wealth and happiness in Smith's works holds promise for contemporary debates.

Using variable- and person-oriented approaches, this study examined the association between school principals’ job crafting and their work-related well-being (work engagement and burnout) and personal resources (self-efficacy and resilience). Two samples of data were collected, before and during the 2019 coronavirus disease pandemic (2019: n = 525; 2020: n = 644). The variable-oriented analyses revealed that in both samples, the approach to job crafting strategies (increasing job resources and challenging job demands) were associated with positive outcomes (higher work-related well-being and personal resources), whereas avoidance job crafting strategies (decreasing hindrance job demands) were associated with relatively negative outcomes. Particularly, during the pandemic, the benefit of increasing structural job resources and challenging job demands was more evident than that of increasing social job resources. Furthermore, subsequent person-oriented analyses identified three typical patterns of job crafting in both samples: moderate job crafters (an average level use of all strategies), approach-focused job crafters (an above-average level use of approach strategies coupled with an average level use of avoidance strategies), and avoidance-focused job crafters (a predominant use of avoidance strategies). Among these, approach-focused and moderate job crafters showed more desirable outcomes than avoidance-focused job crafters. The present findings suggest that by implementing job crafting, school principals may be able to cope better with the various professional challenges and adversities associated with the pandemic. In turn, this may improve their work-related well-being, self-efficacy, and resilience.

The world is beset by grand challenges, those messy, multi-stakeholder, value-laden, complex, wicked, and constantly evolving problems like climate change, unsustainable development, economic inequality, and global pandemics. While these grand challenges call for projects to translate policies into actions and changes, these projects tend to fall short of their ‘beautiful’ goals- such as the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Yet, the management literature remains mostly silent about the role of projects and project delivery in tackling grand challenges. In this article, we discuss the contribution of projects to grand challenges and ask what type of project management they demand, particularly in Europe. In light of the sheer complexity and interdependency of grand challenges and the projects they provoke, we call for further collaboration between project scholars and management scholars to help policymakers shape a better world where no one is left behind.

Cyber incivility (CI) is a prevalent form of workplace mistreatment with deleterious consequences for individuals and organisations. Although research has established a clear distinction between active and passive forms of CI, a nuanced understanding of how these affect employee attitudes and behaviours is lacking. The absence of such studies potentially misleads researchers and practitioners into assuming identical effects. To elucidate this distinction, we draw from the job demands–resources theory and explore the relationship between supervisor-initiated active and passive CI exhibited through digital communication tools and employees’ work engagement and turnover intentions. Furthermore, we test the mediating role of job stress and the moderating role of psychological resilience. Based on a cross-sectional survey of 346 working professionals, we find that both active and passive CI are negatively related to work engagement indirectly, through job stress. In addition, both forms of CI are positively associated with turnover intentions directly, as well as indirectly through job stress. Psychological resilience does not significantly moderate any of these relationships.
