People Analytics: Using Digital Exhaust from the Web to Leverage Network Insights in the Algorithmically Infused Workplace (September 2, 2022 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/97443 97443-21794575@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 2, 2022 1:30pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

In order to bring the performance of people analytics in the algorithmically infused workplace up — and in line with the hype — organizations need to do more than analyze data on demographic attributes. We need to focus not only on who people are but also who they know. The potential for social network analysis to identify “high potentials,” who has good ideas, who is influential, what teams will get work done efficiently and effectively is well established based on decades of research. The challenge has been the collection of network data via surveys that are time consuming, elicit low response rates and have a high obsolescence. This talk presents empirical examples ranging from corporate enterprises to simulated long duration space exploration to demonstrate how we can leverage people analytics – and in particular relational analytics - to mine “digital exhaust”— data created by individuals every day in their digital transactions, such as e‐mails, chats, “likes,” “follows,” @mentions, and file collaboration— to address challenges they face with issues such as team conflict, team assembly, diversity and inclusion, succession planning, and post-merger integration.

There is broad consensus in the US that monopolistic corporations have grown too powerful and that we need to revive antitrust to take on the “curse of bigness.” But information and communication technologies have fundamentally altered the operations of our economy in ways that undermine the basic categories we use to understand it. Nationality, industry, firm, size, employee, and other fundamental terms are increasingly perplexing. If we want to understand and tame the new sources of economic power, we need a new diagnosis and a new set of tools.

The Productivity of Professions: Evidence from the Emergency Department (September 12, 2022 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/97245 97245-21794177@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, September 12, 2022 4:00pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Department of Economics

Professions play a key role in determining the division of labor and the returns to work. This paper studies the productivity difference between two distinct professions performing overlapping tasks—physicians and nurse practitioners (NPs)—but with stark differences in background, training, and pay. Using data from the Veterans Health Administration and quasi-experimental variation in patient probability of being treated by physicians versus NPs in the emergency department, we find that, compared to physicians, NPs significantly increase patient length of stay (by 11 percent) and medical costs (by 7 percent). Despite higher medical resource use, NPs achieve less favorable patient outcomes: They increase patient 30- day preventable hospitalization rate by 20 percent. We find evidence suggesting channels related to lower human capital among NPs relative to physicians. Our estimates suggest a net increase in medical costs with the use of NPs, even when accounting for NP salaries that are half as much as physician salaries. Despite large productivity differences between professions, we find even larger productivity differences within professions and substantial productivity overlap between professions. We find little overlap in wages between NPs and physicians and, within professions, no significant correlation between productivity and wages.

Milestones as Merit: Gatekeeping and Inequality in Elite Early Childhood Admissions (September 16, 2022 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/97462 97462-21794611@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 16, 2022 1:30pm

Research on culture and inequality demonstrates that class-based signals acquired during childhood are crucial mechanisms of class reproduction, yet children themselves are relatively undertheorized in this literature. Work tends to portray children from a given social class as culturally homogenous, downplaying within-class differences. In this article, we center children—and their perceived differences—through analyzing a high-stakes gatekeeping interaction relevant to class reproduction: admission to the country’s most elite private (“independent”) (pre)K-12 schools. These schools serve as expressways to elite colleges but admit the bulk of students during the early childhood years. Through an interview-based study of admissions officers at elite independent schools, we find that these educational gatekeepers drew strong distinctions between economically privileged children on the basis of the bodily and behavioral signals they displayed in interaction. Integrating Bourdieu’s work on embodied cultural capital with Goffman’s work on impression management, we argue that gatekeepers favored children whose displays of interactional signals consistently conformed to class-based ideals of merit and lacked markers of stigma. Our findings highlight that, while parents’ knowledge and actions matter for procuring educational and social advantages for children, so do children’s perceived characteristics and behaviors, which can vary within a given class. In addition, our findings call attention to the importance of studying the activation and perception of cultural capital in gatekeeping interactions.

In recent decades, death rates from poisonings, suicides, and alcoholic liver disease have dramatically increased in the United States. We show that these “deaths of despair” began to increase relative to trend in the early 1990s, that this increase was preceded by a decline in religious participation, and that both trends were driven by middle-aged white Americans. Using repeals of blue laws as an exogenous shock to religiosity, we confirm that religious practice has significant effects on these mortality rates. Our findings show that social factors such as organized religion can play an important role in understanding deaths of despair.

Between the 1960s and the 1980s, an “economic style of reasoning”—grounded in the discipline of economics but traveling well beyond it—became influential in Washington, and was institutionalized through legal and organizational changes. This new way of thinking had consequences for what policy options were considered and how policy decisions were made, and was particularly constraining for the left wing of the Democratic Party. Drawing from a new book that looks at how such changes played out across the domains of social policy, market governance, and social regulation, this talk will focus on what this transformation looked like in the realm of antitrust policy. Here, a domain that was once conceived of as balancing competing purposes, including promoting competition, limiting corporate power, and protecting small business, was rethought as focused on a single goal: protecting consumer welfare, understood as allocative efficiency. As this new approach was built into legal frameworks and decision-making processes in federal agencies, it narrowed the scope of legitimate debate in ways that persist to the present—with implications for our ability to address new forms of corporate power.

This paper estimates the effects of large donors’ political contributions on charitable contributions and fundraising. Political contributions reduce the effectiveness of charitable fundraising, particularly in the Health and Other sectors. Charities therefore reduce fundraising, which contributes to an overall elasticity of private charitable contributions to political contributions of -0.07. This aggregate effect combines large political donors’ charitable contribution behavior with spillover effects of their political giving on the charitable giving patterns of the remainder of the population. Subsequent analysis allows for heterogeneity in the ideologies of both political and charitable recipients.

In recent years, organizational scholars have documented the many ways in which contemporary organizations radically differ from their predecessors, thus rendering obsolete many of our existing ways of categorizing firms. We attempt to overcome this challenge by introducing a new measure to assess the degree of similarity between firms: analyst-based similarity. Publicly- traded firms are routinely covered by one or more sell-side stock analysts. Embedded in these coverage patterns are analyst assignment decisions made by investment banks that consciously aim to reduce information acquisitions costs by assigning analysts to similar sets of firms. Thus, analyst coverage patterns reflect underlying similarities among firms in the eyes of a key audience for corporate organizations: investment banks and the broader investment community. Leveraging the overlapping coverage patterns of sell-side market analysts, we create a network- based, dyadic annual measure of similarity among all publicly traded firms from 1990-2020. We use this measure to predict similarity among a set of corporate decisions and outcomes, including corporate time horizons, corporate political activity, and measures of stakeholder performance.

Welfare or Unfair? Estimating Marginal Utility of Income From Willingness to Pay Conditional on Ability to Pay (October 3, 2022 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/97250 97250-21794228@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, October 3, 2022 4:00pm

This paper provides and implements a method to estimate the expected marginal utility of income across observable traits like income. Good policy analysis tries to match people to the policy that best fits their normative beliefs. In a welfarist framework this requires knowing something about the marginal utility of income, but despite over a century of effort, economics has not agreed upon a method for estimating utility. The key assumption for my method is that the marginal utility of pain relief is independent from a person's income. While the utility I estimate may not actually be marginal well-being or happiness, it is the marginal utility implied by standard economic assumptions that justify using willingness to pay as a measure of welfare. Surprisingly, I find the implied marginal utility of income does not change across income. This result suggests that more research is needed to properly interpret policy analysis using willingness to pay.

Erik Snowberg is the Canada Excellence Research Chair in Data-Intensive Methods in Economics at the Vancouver School of Economics, University of British Columbia. Before joining UBC, he was Professor of Economics and Political Science at Caltech where he was since completing his PhD at Stanford in 2008. His research has two foci: using social science theory to design better experiments that involve people, with applications in medicine and economic development; and combining behavioral economics with political economy to better understand the roots of partisan politics and its effects on policy. He holds undergraduate degrees in Math and Physics from MIT. Along with his position at UBC, he is a Research Associate with the National Bureau of Economic Research, and a Research Fellow at CESifo in Munich.

Title: Education, Reference Points, and Happiness

Abstract: We study a reform that increased compulsory schooling in Britain. Using a regression discontinuity design, we find that, in line with prior studies, compulsory schooling caused an increase in income. However, it also caused a decrease in subjective well-being, or happiness. Using an extensive survey, we provide evidence that education affects both reference points and outcomes, but the former more than the latter. That is, while outcomes improve for those subject to compulsory education, they improve less than the individuals themselves expect they will.

Moral Blind Spots (October 28, 2022 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/99459 99459-21798227@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 28, 2022 1:30pm

Why do efforts designed to improve ethical behavior in the workplace continue to over promise and under deliver? This presentation will explore the role that moral blindspots play in unethical behavior as a potential explanation. Drawing on the burgeoning field of behavioral ethics, which examines how and why people behave the way they do in the face of ethical dilemmas, discussion will reveal that much of our ethical behavior occurs without conscious awareness, leading to a gap between perceptions of our ethicality and our actual ethicality. Ignoring these blindspots is argued to be a root cause of why well-intended efforts to improve ethical behavior continue to disappoint. The presentation will focus on the causes of these blindspots, including ethical illusions, ethical fading, sanctioning systems, and motivated blindness. The talk will conclude with insights on how to overcome these dangerous obstacles to ethical behavior.

Overconfidence is considered to be one of the most prominent behavioral biases, and has been studied with students, executives, and investors using different variants of a confidence interval task with large intervals such as 90%. On average this research has found that individuals are overprecise, leading this type of overconfidence to sometimes be labelled as the “most robust form of overconfidence”. With over 1000 participants, we study different versions of confidence interval tasks, with widths spanning from 10% to 90%. We show that the aggregate finding of overconfidence can be reversed by examining small instead of large intervals. In what we consider to be our most reliable interval task, we find that the magnitude of underconfidence for small intervals is similar to the magnitude of overconfidence for large intervals. Hence, when aggregating across small and large intervals in this task, participants are on average well calibrated. Our results suggest that this form of overconfidence may not be as robust as previously thought.

The Uncertainty of Corporate Sustainability Metrics (November 4, 2022 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/100504 100504-21800017@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, November 4, 2022 1:30pm

Researchers have long studied corporate performance metrics for organizational and financial performance. However, we still know little about how to design sustainability metrics that can move organizations towards better societal outcomes. Questions remain regarding the substantive areas of sustainability performance that should be measured, how data should be aggregated, and how metrics can be engineered to reduce greenwashing. In this paper, we propose a framework to assess corporate sustainability metrics based on the level of uncertainty associated with the effectiveness of the metric and its measurement. We consider whether the metric is measuring management processes or outcomes and discuss how the choice of metrics with lower uncertainty may hamper some types of greenwashing. We argue that organizations should use outcome metrics when uncertainty in measuring the performance outcome is low, and process-based metrics when the outcome is difficult to measure or the link between process and outcome is undetermined. When both types of uncertainty are high, it is unclear whether metrics should be used at all. We illustrate our framework with examples of corporate disclosure in the areas of social and environmental metrics. Our framework enriches our understanding of the uncertainty associated with corporate sustainability disclosures and can be useful for government agencies thinking about mandated disclosures, for managers thinking about what metrics to disclose, and for researchers developing or using sustainability metrics.

Positive Links:
The Positive Links Speaker Series, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations, offers inspiring and practical science-based strategies to build and bolster thriving organizations. Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics, students, staff, and leaders.

About the talk:
Evidence demonstrates both the Wisdom of Crowds (Collective Intelligence) and the Madness of Crowds (Group Think) in collective forecasts. Forecasts underpin most decisions; good decisions, therefore, require good forecasts. In this talk, Scott Page discusses the phenomena of wise and mad crowds in the context of forecasts, demonstrates the logic of how diversity can produce accurate collective forecasts (the wisdom of crowds), and the necessity of (1) a positive culture where people feel comfortable sharing ideas, clarifying logic, and facts and (2) a process that facilitates collective knowledge production for both good decisions and acceptance of those decisions. Scott concludes with a discussion of differing perspectives on using technology to enable anonymous participation.

Yuehao Bai is an econometrician in the Department of Economics at the University of Michigan. His recent research concerns the design and analysis of experiments as well as inference under partial identification. His papers have been published in the American Economic Review, Journal of the American Statistical Association, Journal of Econometrics, and Journal of Business and Economic Statistics.

Title: Optimality of Matched-Pair Designs in Randomized Controlled Trials

Abstract: In randomized controlled trials (RCTs), treatment is often assigned by stratified randomization. I show that among all stratified randomization schemes which treat all units with probability one half, a certain matched-pair design achieves the maximum statistical precision for estimating the average treatment effect (ATE). In an important special case, the optimal design pairs units according to the baseline outcome. In a simulation study based on datasets from 10 RCTs, this design lowers the standard error for the estimator of the ATE by 10% on average, and by up to 34%, relative to the original designs.

The Leadership Dialogues speaker series is a fireside chat-style event featuring accomplished industry, political and non-profit leaders discussing the latest ideas in organizational research and ongoing practice with U-M faculty.

What does it take to lead and inspire others at the intersection of science and business?

Robin Washington, BBA ’84, board member of Alphabet, Salesforce, and Honeywell, and former chief financial officer of Gilead, joins Professor Yesim Orhun to talk about leading as a woman in complex environments. Washington, who ranked sixth on The Wall Street Journal’s 2014 list of Top Performing CFOs, has also been named one of Treasury & Risk’s 30 Outstanding Women in Finance, and Black Enterprise's 75 Most Powerful Women in Business.

Washington will describe her journey from an undergraduate student at Michigan to various roles in finance, leading up to her experience as a CFO and corporate board member. Along the way, she has lifted and inspired numerous women and underrepresented individuals. Professor Orhun, whose research explores gender disparity in business and experimentation in leadership behaviors, will explore how scholarship relates to Washington’s vision and practice of leadership. Join us for an engaging talk from leaders in both industry and research.

Select students will have the opportunity to meet Robin at a small, private event from 4 to 4:25 PM. The application is included on the registration form.

Trust and Cooperation Beyond the Network (November 11, 2022 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/97839 97839-21795219@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, November 11, 2022 1:30pm

My premise is that understanding trust beyond a network is essential to enhancing creativity and achievement within the network. I build on three anchor results (anchor results are strong, robust empirical results likely to be found in quality research): (1) Network brokers are more creative and successful than other people. (2) Returns to network brokerage are contingent on broker reputation in a target market – poor reputation means poor returns to brokerage. (3) Trust and reputation are facilitated and maintained in densely-connected, closed networks. But brokers usually operate outside the network around a target audience, so they operate beyond reputation governance within the network. Our wireless world has us each more aware of how we and our friends are different from people beyond our network. Much of what we see and hear, we do not like. Intolerance and abuse of people beyond our network is the fundamental issue targeted here. I use well-established network theory to predict “trust reversal:” The conditions that encourage trust and cooperation within a network have a by-product; they reverse to encourage suspicion and abuse beyond the network. Successful people are especially prone to the bias. Initial results are intriguingly supportive.

Culinary-focused travel has become a hot trend within the tourism sector in recent years. Tourists increasingly prefer to let their taste buds decide how and where they travel. For cities and countries looking to market themselves, culinary tourism has become an essential and powerful branding element.

But can this kind of travel be about much more than food? Yigal Schleifer, the co-founder and editor-in-chief of Culinary Backstreets, will tackle that question and more during a talk hosted by the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan. The discussion, “Crossing Borders and Cuisines: A New Flavor of Sustainable Tourism,” is slated for 5:00–6:00 PM, Nov. 16 in R1230 of the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business. The session is free and open to the public. It also will be broadcast via Zoom; click to register.

Schleifer will explore how Culinary Backstreets, which provides tours in a dozen cities around the world, uses food-oriented travel to promote cross-cultural communication and sustainable tourism for more impactful experiences. Created in 2012, Culinary Backstreets covers the local and traditional food scene and offers immersive small group culinary walks in cities including Istanbul, Lisbon, Mexico City, Tbilisi, Tokyo, Barcelona and a half dozen more. The talk will also look at how the COVID crisis has impacted culinary travel and how this sector can be rebuilt with an eye towards sustainability.

Between 2002 and 2010, Schleifer was based in Istanbul, where he worked as a correspondent for The Christian Science Monitor and the German Press Agency (dpa). While in Istanbul he also co-founded Istanbul Eats, an award-winning blog about the city’s local food scene, and co-wrote a guidebook of the same name. He also launched “Istanbul Calling,” a blog about Turkish foreign and domestic affairs. Schleifer’s work has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Foreign Policy, Ha’aretz, The Times (London) and several other publications.

Schleifer was an advisory board member for the Livelihoods Innovation through Food Entrepreneurship (LIFE) Project, which supported and encouraged people to engage across cultures through entrepreneurship and job creation in the food sector. Since 2017, WDI’s Entrepreneurship Development Center has worked on the U.S. government-funded LIFE Project, in collaboration with the Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE), IDEMA, Union Kitchen and the Stimson Center.

Activists pushing for social, political, and organizational change use a variety of tactics to influence and gain access to powerful decision-makers. Research on social movements has shown that these efforts are often effective in promoting change, but recent research indicates that at times movement tactics may provoke backlash. This presentation will look at one of the conditions that generates potential backlash to movement activism: a perceived threat to the power and autonomy of decision-makers. Looking at the context of environmental activism in corporate reform, I show that potential threats to corporate autonomy can induce threat rigidity, which makes boards and executives less amenable to dialogue with reform-minded activists.

Interested in the intersection of Climate Change, Corporate Strategy, Marketing & Advertising Strategy, and one of the biggest business cover-ups of the century?

Please join the graduate and undergraduate chapters of Net Impact and professor Andy Hoffman in welcoming author Geoff Dembicki to discuss his recent book, "The Petroleum Papers: Inside the Far-Right Conspiracy to Cover Up Climate Change."

About the book: "Drawing from hundreds of confidential oil industry documents spanning decades, this explosive work of investigative reporting reveals for the first time the far-right conspiracy that’s stopped the world from preventing the climate crisis.

The Petroleum Papers, investigative journalist Geoff Dembicki tells the story of how the American oil companies that founded the tar sands in Alberta, Canada—home to the third-biggest oil reserves on the planet—ignored warnings about climate devastation as early as 1959. Instead of alerting the world to act on this impending global disaster, Exxon, Koch Industries, Shell and others created ad campaigns saying climate change isn't real and that alternatives to oil are an economic disaster. These companies built a global right-wing echo chamber to ensure tar sands could keep flowing into the U.S., which helped elect Donald Trump and now leaves the Joe Biden administration with a sprawling climate mess."

The event is free and open to the public. Please sign up here: https://cglink.me/2ez/r1898841

Geoff Dembicki is an investigative climate change reporter from Alberta, Canada, home of the largest tar sand deposits in the world. His book Are We Screwed? won the 2018 Green Prize for Sustainable Literature. He is a regular contributor to the Tyee and VICE. He lives in Brooklyn.

How Does History Matter for Organizations? (December 2, 2022 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/99164 99164-21797649@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, December 2, 2022 1:30pm

Path dependence and imprinting are two important but distinct theoretical lenses to understand persistent effects of the past. While both concepts focus on how history has a lasting effect, they differ substantially in terms of how the past effect is formed, in particular (a) the importance of initial conditions (weak versus strong) and (b) the mechanism sustaining the historical effect (self-reinforcement versus inertia). To differentiate the two perspectives theoretically and empirically, we conduct a study of firm innovation—a context in which prior research has examined both path dependence and imprinting processes—with a longitudinal sample of U.S. publicly traded companies from 1981 to 2010. We find that prominent features of the founding environment and firms’ founding inventors strongly and enduringly affect patenting behaviors, and that after including initial condition variables that tap imprinting processes, effects of variables representing path dependence become substantially weakened. Our results suggest that imprinting and path dependence should be better differentiated in sociological research, and that prior research on path dependence may be mis-specified because of ignoring founding conditions.

Unmasked: A History of the Individualization of Risk (December 9, 2022 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/97840 97840-21795220@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, December 9, 2022 1:30pm

The notion that risk is appropriately understood – and managed – in terms of each individual’s own personal calculus is so familiar an idea in contemporary society that it appears to almost not require any explanation. However, closer inspection of the problem reveals an important historical irony, as for much of the twentieth century risk was understood to be an intrinsically collective affair. In this paper, I explore how risk was transformed from being understood as a property of groups to being understood as a property of individuals by examining the history of public and private insurance in the United States. Rather than locate transformations in how risk
is managed in our society in the “great risk shift” occurring with the emergence of neoliberalism (Hacker 2006), I suggest that the individualization of risk in recent decades is only the latest instantiation of a recurrent conflict between security and freedom that has marked the evolution of capitalism. Seen from this longer historical perspective, the “personal responsibility revolution” appears not as the handiwork of neoliberal policymakers, but rather as the unintended result of movements that sought to gain access to markets for risk for those excluded from them.

Accounting For The Unaccounted: Examining Workplace Accountabilities for Underrepresented and Understudied Employees (January 20, 2023 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/103238 103238-21806523@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 20, 2023 1:30pm

In this research, we examine employee populations that, while significant in their size and scope, have failed to receive significant attention from either accountability researchers or organizational scholars, overall (Hall, Hickox, Kuan, & Sung, 2017). These populations include minority workers, employees with disabilities, immigrants, contingent and other precarious workers, and low-income workers. The current body of accountability literature rests heavily on assumptions and data based on middle class, Western, Caucasian white-collar workers and college students (Norenzayan & Heine, 2005; Hall et al., 2017). While basic elements of accountability should exist across all employees, there are aspects of accountability that traditionally marginalized employees face which have not received the appropriate attention from researchers (Okazaki & Sue, 2016). All employees operate within a web of accountabilities (Frink & Klimoski, 1998). Workers must balance multiple and often competing accountabilities (Hall, Bowen, Ferris, Royle, & Fitzgibbons, 2007). Yet, research suggests that minority, female, immigrant, low-income, precarious workers (e.g., gig or contingent workers) or otherwise traditionally marginalized groups may have additional accountabilities that they must balance (O’Donnell, 2020). Thus, our research seeks to examine the following: 1. how do minoritized/marginalized identities prioritize their accountabilities and 2. what can employers do to assist these workers in balancing their additional accountabilities.

1/20,000th of a Person?: Democracy & Protecting Equal Rights in Notice & Comment Rulemaking (February 3, 2023 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/103579 103579-21807511@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 3, 2023 1:30pm

In 2018-2019, civil rights activists organized opposition to a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, issued by then-Secretary of Education DeVos, designed to gut U.S. Department of Education Title IX enforcement regarding sexual harassment. Although an historic—and overwhelmingly antagonistic—124,000+ comments were filed, ED finalized the rules, without meaningful changes, and four legal challenges quickly followed, several pointing out the both strong and numerous opposing comments. These challenges relied on a particular “story” of the Administrative Procedures Act and its requirements for “notice and comment rulemakings.” That story maintains that the APA directly vested a “commenting power” in the American public as a check and balance empowering the public to stop agencies from following policies that have little to no democratic support. A competing technocratic, oligarchic “story” of rulemakings views the public’s commenting power as simply a way to funnel technical expertise to agencies, not an expression of Americans’ policy preferences. This story ignores and exacerbates socio-economic inequalities, especially those linked to gender and race, doubly excluding already politically marginalized groups from administrative lawmaking. Enter “mass commenting,” which includes “boilerplate comments” that ordinary people often use to exercise their commenting power but agencies discount, treating such comments, regardless of how many people filed them, as a single comment. This article explores how the DeVos rulemaking exposed inequalities and anti-democratic agency practices such as dismissal of legitimate mass comments. It urges agencies instead to adopt more democratic and less technocratic rulemaking procedures, at least for rulemakings implicating equal protection of the law.

Moving Past the Barriers: Experiences of a Good Life and Meaningful Career among Resettled Refugees in Germany and the USA (February 10, 2023 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/103239 103239-21806524@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 10, 2023 1:30pm

In May 2022, the United Nations announced the number of forcibly displaced people in the world having exceeded 100 million. Of these, almost 30 million are refugees, i.e., people forcibly displaced across country borders. A life as a refugee entails profound physical, psychological, and social hardships, but even amidst these hardships, refugees’ stories bear witness to psychological strength and resourcefulness. With the help of qualitative interview data collected in Germany and the US, I will discuss three studies uncovering refugees’ experiences of and strive towards a good life and a meaningful career in their new home country. The first study explores identity threats, identity-threat coping, and resulting identity growth among refugees as they seek to integrate in the working life in Germany. The second study addresses unique features in refugees’ career construction in the resettlement, also suggesting important contextually relevant extensions to the career construction theory. In the third study, we hear from adolescent refugees; what a good life means to them and how they strive towards such a good life. This study highlights the role of temporality in refugees’ experiences of a good life. Taken together, these three studies address the potential for and the processes of adversarial psychological growth and psychological well-being in midst of chronic adversities faced by refugee populations.

Losing the Plot? How narrative identity challenges affect independent scientists’ progression, thriving, and resilience (February 17, 2023 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/103240 103240-21806525@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 17, 2023 1:30pm

Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

Creating and maintaining a clear, meaningful, and sustainable narrative about one’s identity is both a fundamental human motive and is associated with a host of positive outcomes. Typically, organizations and professional institutions provide people with scripts for building such an identity which serve to guide behavior, clarify relational expectations, and define career pathways. Yet despite investing heavily in their own education and training, professional gig workers may struggle to develop their identity story both because they lack the guidance of such structures and because the dynamics of gig work continually challenge important elements of one’s narrative identity, including plot, characters, coherence, continuity. In this paper we ask two interrelated questions: How does the experience of ongoing narrative challenges impact workers’ weekly behaviors and well-being? And how do gig workers build their career narratives? Addressing the first question, we propose that such challenges don’t only manifest as occasional bouts of existential anxiety, but instead are experienced as everyday realities that affect individuals’ sense of weekly progress, their feelings of thriving in their work lives, and their perceptions of their own resilience by affecting their ability to both stay focused and motivated, and exhibit the proactivity needed to get ahead of problems and tackle challenges. We test and find support for our hypotheses with longitudinal survey data collected three times per week over five weeks from 207 independent scientists. To address the second question, we analyze 244 independent scientists’ reports about their career sensemaking and future plans. These data are the first that we know of to explore how professional gig workers conceptualize and think about careers in the gig economy and offer insight into the core plot themes that gig workers use to make sense of and craft their stories of their work selves. Our paper contributes to theorizing at the intersection of identity and gig work by demonstrating how narrative identity serves as a critical resource for contemporary workers and providing insight into how professional gig workers build this resource by writing their career narratives as they go.

Leader Inclusivity through the Lens of Marginalized Employees: Pathways to Combat Systemic Inequities (March 10, 2023 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/103480 103480-21807329@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 10, 2023 1:30pm

Scholars have increasingly recognized the importance of leaders in workplace inclusion. To date, leader inclusivity has been conceptualized as a relational approach that builds an equally shared sense of group membership among employees while fostering an appreciation for the unique value of each individual. Yet, broader systems, norms, and practices in organizations can also elicit exclusion. Through an inductive investigation of leader inclusivity, in a sample of 47 minority-identified employees in STEM organizations, we find that leader inclusivity was perceived as centering on leaders’ actions to combat inequitable systems, norms, and practices. Further, because these equity-oriented actions were thought to be controversial in nature, we find that such actions provoked adversarial responses from employees who are invested in the status quo. In turn, we reveal that leaders must also manage these responses effectively, in order for inclusivity to be sustained. Taken together, and departing significantly from current conceptualizations of leader inclusivity, we find that minority employees view leader inclusivity as a set of pathways which are each set in motion via leaders’ actions to combat inequity. Our results inform a more processual, systemic, equity-based approach to studying and practicing leader inclusivity.

Can Fiscal Externalities Be Internalized? (March 20, 2023 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/105339 105339-21811576@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, March 20, 2023 4:00pm

Subsidies and in-kind transfers give rise to negative fiscal externalities. However, internalizing negative fiscal externalities through taxation would undo the subsidy or in-kind transfer that caused them. Similarly, positive fiscal externalities cannot be internalized though government subsidies. This paper describes a mechanism that transfers fiscal externalities from the government to private parties. Such transfers generate incentives within the private sector to reduce inefficiencies caused by fiscal externalities. Thus, the paper offers a straightforward, but powerful, insight: transferring fiscal externalities to third parties extends the reach of the Coase Theorem to inefficiencies stemming from fiscal externalities.

The Battle Over ESG: Profits, Purpose & Politics (March 21, 2023 5:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/105430 105430-21811840@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 21, 2023 5:30pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Erb Institute / Ross Business School and School for Environment & Sustainability

We are excited to host a timely discussion about ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) at Ross Business School in March, featuring Elizabeth Doty (Director, Erb Corporate Political Responsibility Taskforce); Bennett Freeman (Associate Fellow of Chatham House and former Senior Vice President of Calvert Investments); Vik Khanna (William W. Cook Professor of Law, University of Michigan Law School); and moderated by Erb Institute Faculty Director, Tom Lyon.

As the ESG agenda has gained traction and momentum over the last decade, it has attracted inevitable criticism and a backlash—and now even a backlash to the backlash. Not only is ESG investing under attack, but the battle also extends to the future of corporate responsibility and sustainability more broadly — and in turn the respective roles of business and government— with high stakes for both action and inaction. Some issues are technical and methodological, related to ESG metrics and funds. Other issues are more ideological and political, challenging the notion of business purpose, pitting shareholder primacy against stakeholder capitalism, and raising questions about the appropriate role of corporations in the policy arena. This timely event will explore the drivers of this battle over ESG and offer solutions for moving forward.

Today’s workforce has a broader age range but less stratification by age than in the past – this leaves us more likely to interact with coworkers, supervisors, mentors, and direct reports who may not fit into our normative expectations for what is age appropriate. Moreover, we are bombarded with cultural messages about the supposed values, characteristics, attitudes, and desires of members of generations, making salient age-related stereotypes and potentially false expectations. Stereotyping has been the major explanatory process in age-related discrimination and mistreatment at work, but we are just recently starting to include a focus on the role of the age metastereotyping process to better understand interage interactions. In this talk Dr. Finkelstein will describe her past, current, and future work on age metastereotyping in the workplace.

Bonus Question: How Does Incentive Pay Affect Unemployment Dynamics? (March 27, 2023 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/105338 105338-21811575@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, March 27, 2023 4:00pm

This paper asks how flexible incentive pay affects unemployment dynamics. Intro- ducing general dynamic incentive contracts into a benchmark labor search model yields three results. First, the response of unemployment to labor demand shocks is first-order equivalent in an economy with flexible incentive pay and without bargaining, and in an economy with rigid real wages as in Hall (2005)—if both economies are calibrated to the same steady state labor share. Second, with both bargaining and incentives, wage cyclicality arising from bargaining dampens unemployment fluctuations, but wage cyclicality due to incentive provision does not. Third, calibrating the model suggests at least 40% of new hire wage cyclicality in the data arises from incentives. There- fore a standard labor search model, calibrated to weakly pro-cyclical wages, matches unemployment dynamics in our incentive pay model, calibrated to substantially more pro-cyclical wages.

Hot Flashes at Work? The Disclosure Dilemma for Menopausal Women (March 31, 2023 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/103242 103242-21806527@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 31, 2023 1:30pm

Middle age is the golden age for employees, with assumptions of greater expertise and stability resulting in being “leadership material”. Middle age also brings new experiences for those with female reproductive organs – namely, menopause – about which organizational scholarship is largely silent. Prior research shows that women are embarrassed to share their menopausal status at work, but vasomotor symptoms (“hot flashes”) -- sweating and flushing – are a common and observable experience that may “out” her menopausal identity. I will discuss how menopause is a “taboo” at work, drawing on the stigma and disclosure literature to propose that menopausal stigma constrains leadership opportunities for women and what can be done about it. Describing findings from a series of experimental vignette methodology studies, I will answer the following questions: 1) What is menopause and why is it relevant to study in organizational contexts? 2) Does menopausal status evoke less favorable stereotypes than middle-age in ways that constrain leadership outcomes for women? 3) Does concealing or disclosing menopausal status from work colleagues improve judgments of leadership potential? In short, I aim to share why it is both prevalent and relevant to study menopause in organizational science, and what we can do to reduce the potential for biased decisions about leader potential.

About the Thriving Accelerator Workshops:
A Thriving Accelerator is an immersive workshop from the Center for Positive Organizations about a topic in the science of thriving. After completing a workshop, students will be able to immediately implement their learnings to create lasting personal and organizational impact.

Workshop description:
You’ve probably heard that “knowing your why” is the heart of motivation, but perhaps accessing your why seems difficult. This is true for many of us. Join us for this accelerator where we will demystify the process of tapping into a sense of purpose and share practices that help you bring your unique why to life. Accelerate your purpose in your studies and in your work on a more regular basis with evidence-based methods that make your purpose accessible in your everyday activities. You will gain access to a reliable source of motivation that you can call on whenever you need it, and you will learn to work with others to help them tap into this source of inspiration as well. Accelerating our sense of purpose on a daily basis involves celebrating the contributions we make to a community, as well as elevating the contribution of others, so this accelerator will conclude with a fun and energizing celebration of all the people who contributed to our thriving this year.

Making Everyday Leadership a Reality: Lessons from a 15-year Research Journey (April 7, 2023 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/105064 105064-21810674@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, April 7, 2023 1:30pm

People often want to lead more from wherever they “sit” in organizations. Companies also often say that they want more leadership from more places in their organization, but we’ve historically done little research to understand what might prompt more people to engage in such leadership, what deterrents they might face in doing so, and what processes are involved in bringing it about. This talk describes a 15-year journey into exploring these questions. In the talk I will pause to consider notable “sights” along the journey’s path (e.g., critical constructs and several studies). I will also identify lessons learned and possibilities for future research as I (and hopefully others) continue a journey of discovery regarding this important topic.

Micro vs Macro Labor Supply Elasticities: The Role of Dynamic Compensation (April 10, 2023 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/105341 105341-21811578@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, April 10, 2023 4:00pm

Organized By: Department of Economics

A central and still unresolved tension in economics is the discrepancy between micro and macro elasticities of earnings with respect to marginal tax rates. We revisit this puzzle, focusing on the role of dynamic returns to effort among top earners. We start by developing a simple theoretical model of earnings responses to taxes in the presence of dynamic returns. In this model, the returns to effort are delayed and centered around discrete job switches such as promotions within firms or movements between firms. Short-run micro elasticities are attenuated relative to the true long-run macro elasticity. We proceed by providing two main empirical analyses using rich administrative data from Denmark. The first part presents descriptive evidence on earnings and hours-worked patterns over the lifecycle that confirm the predictions of the theoretical model. The second part presents quasi-experimental evidence on earnings responses to taxes using discrete job switches. The empirical strategy is informed by the theoretical model, according to which job switches can be used to (partially) identify the macro elasticity of labor supply. The evidence shows that, at the top of the distribution, macro elasticities are much larger than micro elasticities due to dynamic compensation effects. The normative implications of these findings are analyzed.

Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Sanger Leadership Center

The Leadership Dialogues speaker series is a fireside chat-style event featuring accomplished industry, political and non-profit leaders discussing the latest ideas in organizational research and ongoing practice with U-M faculty.

What does it take for a leader in a 150-year-old company to navigate change and build community with 40,000 employees?

Kofi Bruce, MBA ‘98, chief financial officer of General Mills, joins Associate Dean and Professor Gretchen Spreitzer to discuss the importance of authentic leadership and the role leaders play in creating a sense of community in their organizations, especially during times of change. Bruce, who was named CFO in 2020, is a celebrated leader with senior management experience in a broad range of industries. In addition to his role at General Mills, he is also a board member at Lifeworks, Electronic Arts, Aspen Finance Leaders Fellowship, and Partners in Food Solutions.

During his leadership tenure, Bruce has responded to societal demands for racial equity, a shifting consumer landscape, and a global health crisis in the form of COVID-19. Bruce will describe how he views his role as not only the company’s chief accountant, but a leader who has empowered employees by creating community when times were tough. Additionally, Bruce will discuss how the CFO role is increasingly responsible for engaging in environmental, social, and governance goals.

Professor Spreitzer is an award-winning researcher and the co-author of several books about positive organizational scholarship, leadership, and change management. Her research explores employee empowerment and leadership development, particularly within contexts of organizational change and decline. Professor Spreitzer will explore how scholarship relates to Bruce’s vision and practice of leadership. Join us for an engaging talk from leaders in both industry and research.

How Effective Altruism Can Help Behavioral and Organizational Scientists Increase Their Social Impact (April 14, 2023 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/106060 106060-21813645@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, April 14, 2023 1:30pm

Behavioral and organizational scientists often want their work to help make the world a better place. People in these fields, however, do not always have an organizing framework to guide them in these efforts. In today’s talk, I discuss how effective altruism (EA)—a growing movement based on using science and reason to guide efforts to do good—can help behavioral and organizational scientists achieve their prosocial goals, both as individuals and as a field. First, I’ll briefly introduce effective altruism and review important principles that people can apply to various elements of their work, such as importance, tractability, neglectedness, and personal fit. I’ll then review concrete examples of current and new actions that people can take as teachers, clinicians, scholars, and consultants. Finally, I’ll discuss field-level efforts that may help behavioral and organizational scientists increase their positive impact. Ultimately, I hope that this talk can contribute to the broader discussion on how our science can maximize its positive impact and inspire audience members to figure out ways that they can do the most good in their careers.

Black Ownership Matters: Does Revealing Race Increase Demand For Minority-Owned Businesses? (April 17, 2023 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/105343 105343-21811579@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, April 17, 2023 4:00pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Department of Economics

Is there consumer demand to support Black-owned businesses? To explore, we investigate the impact of a new feature on a large online platform that made the race of a set of Black business owners salient to customers. We find that this feature substantially increased demand for Black-owned businesses - in the form of more calls to the restaurant, more delivery orders, and - using cell phone data from a different platform - more in person visits to the restaurant. New customers to Black-owned businesses were more likely to be White customers - suggesting demand among White restaurant goers for Black-owned businesses. The gains for Black-owned businesses vary across geographically fine-grained measures of racial prejudice: we observe larger gains in areas with less anti-Black bias, as measured by implicit association tests. We also find suggestive evidence that the effects are stronger in predominately White, Democratic-leaning areas.
