    How much control do people have over their career? We explore this question in the context of professional service firms, long thought of as providing predictable, agentic careers in the up-orout model. Specifically, we seek to understand how chance events in immediate work circumstances are experienced in this context, and the responses they elicit in terms of career construction. Drawing on in-depth interviews with 68 pre-partnership professionals from three large professional firms using the up-or-out promotion system, we find that chance developments in proximate work conditions, especially with respect to key relationships and project allocation, shape the possibilities that professionals see for their careers going forward and the actions they take in response. Even in this seemingly predictable career, being continuously attuned to fortuitous turns of events informs how people enact career agency. It also prompts a heightened awareness of the fragile nature of the up-or-out career path, triggering a gradual reconsideration of career possibilities that includes career confirmation, ambivalence, pivot, and fading. Our study contributes to better understanding the interdependence between context and agency in contemporary careers, highlighting the widespread and consequential role of proximate chance events in people’s career construction process.

    Suddenly I Felt Like a Migrant: Identity and Mobility Threats Facing European Self-Initiated Expatriates in the UK under Brexit
    (2022-1-4)
    Jonczyk Sédès, Claudia 
    In recent years, several countries have undertaken political initiatives aimed at reducing immigration. At present, we lack a clear understanding of how self-initiated expatriates (SIEs) living in these countries interpret and respond to such initiatives. The United Kingdom’s 2016 “Brexit” referendum decision to leave the European Union presents an example of one such initiative potentially impacting the mobility, UK identification, and future aspirations of European SIEs living in the UK. We draw on 41 in-depth interviews with SIEs from 18 European countries who had voluntarily chosen to relocate to the UK and analyze how they interpreted the Brexit vote, as well as its impact on their identities and migration plans. We identify four types of SIEs based on their perceived mobility and identification with the UK prior to the Brexit referendum, each of which was associated with a distinct reaction pattern related to the outcome of the referendum. Our findings have implications for the study of SIEs, as well as for talent managers charged with their retention. We suggest directions for future research in SIE management.

    In recent years, several countries have undertaken political initiatives aimed at reducing immigration. For self-initiated expatriates living in these countries, we lack a clear understanding of how these initiatives are interpreted and responded to. The United Kingdom’s 2016 “Brexit” referendum decision to leave the European Union presents an example of one such initiative potentially impacting the mobility, UK identification, and future aspirations of European SIEs living in the UK. We draw on 41 in-depth interviews with SIEs from 18 European countries who had voluntarily chosen to relocate to the UK to analyze how they interpreted the Brexit vote, as well as to assess its impact on their identities and migration lans. We identify four types of SIEs based on their perceived mobility and identification with the UK at the time of the Brexit referendum, each of which was associated with a distinct reaction pattern related to the outcome of the Brexit referendum. Our findings have implications for the study of SIEs, as well as for talent managers charged with their retention. We suggest directions for future research in SIE management.

    The performance of international small and medium-sized enterprises: Overview and future research directions

    Our study aims to assess the state of knowledge on the performance of international small and medium-sized (SME) firms, and formulate a relevant research agenda. We review 231 contributions published between 1993 and 2019, and identify the main theoretical debates, key success factors and measures of international SME performance, and the theoretical and methodological approaches used in this literature. Based on our analysis, we propose a definition of performance factors according to the theoretical frameworks identified, and the overall determinants and performance measures identified. For future research, we suggest a more holistic theoretical and empirical perspective, a qualitative and longitudinal approach, and a greater focus on developing country SMEs.

    Notre étude a pour objectif d’évaluer l’état des connaissances et de formuler un agenda de recherche dans le domaine de la performance des PMEs internationales. Au travers d’une revue de 231 contributions publiées entre 1993 et 2019, nous identifions (i) les principaux débats théoriques (ii) les facteurs clés de succès et mesures de la performance des PME internationales et (iii) les approches théoriques et méthodologiques utilisées dans le domaine. Sur la base de ces analyses, nous proposons une définition des facteurs de performance en fonction des cadres théoriques mobilisés ainsi qu’une vue d’ensemble des déterminants et mesures de performance identifiées dans la littérature. Parmi les voies de recherches futures, nous préconisons une perspective théorique et empirique plus holistique, une approche qualitative et longitudinale ainsi que plus de travaux portant sur des PME issues de pays émergents.

    New CEO Succession Origin and Strategic Change in Turnaround Situations: A Relational Perspective

    We study the effect of new CEO succession origin on strategic change in firms facing turnaround situations. Taking a ‘relational perspective’ of CEO succession, we argue that the degree to which outside CEO succession associates with strategic change depends on the relational network between the outside CEO and key incumbent executives prior to succession. Using data from 108 companies with new CEOs in turnaround situations between 1993 and 2015, we find that high CEO outsiderness has a negative effect on strategic change in firms facing turnaround conditions – while this effect is weaker in the later years of the new CEO’s tenure. We further find that outsider CEOs with more connected intra-TMT network brings a higher degree of strategic change to the firm early after succession. Overall, our paper contributes to the extant literature on CEO succession by underscoring the important role of the relational CEO-TMT interface when a new CEO takes charge with the mandate to bring about strategic change (i.e., in turnaround conditions).

    Two types of network brokerage: How sense of power, seniority and gender matter
    (2021-7-20)

    Bertola, Lara
    Studies demonstrate the importance of brokerage positions in organizations for motivation, promotions and career success. However, we still lack a thorough understanding of how psychological factors like an individual’s sense of power can explain specific differences in brokerage activities and outcomes. In this paper, we seek to explain that the way an individual construes and interprets their sense of power impacts the way that they broker, using either a tertius iungens orientation, such as bringing individuals together, or a tertius gaudens orientation, such as keeping individuals apart. Applying a processual view of brokerage, we show how these two central strategic orientations towards brokerage depend on an individual’s perception of their ability to influence others. We find that actors with a low sense of power more often engage in tertius iungens brokerage while those with a high sense of power more often engage in tertius gaudens brokerage. Findings further demonstrate that gender and the level of seniority also shape the way that brokerage is enacted, with women more often engaging in tertius iungens brokerage, and senior employees more often referring to tertius gaudens brokerage.
