Team production is increasingly important for economic outcomes, yet the factors driving team performance remain poorly understood. This paper examines the influence of psychological factors on team performance using data from the top divisions of the five major European football leagues, with a...

Child soldiering has been identified as one of the most prevalent human rights violations perpetrated by rebels. The aim of this research is to elucidate the potential influence of third parties, external supporters, on child soldiering by rebels. The research hypothesises that rebel's...

This study documents a new fact about educational production: Students' relative standing in noncognitive skills has lasting effects on educational trajectories that are distinct from those of absolute skill levels and cognitive achievement. Using administrative data covering the universe of...

Hybrid work not only redistributes where employees work; it also reshapes how they stay connected to their colleagues. Drawing on Communicate-Bond-Belong (CBB) theory, we examine how daily work location shapes employees' team commitment in hybrid work environments through informal communication...

This paper studies whether alternative integration-policy framings affect cooperation in ethnically diverse groups. We conduct a lab-in-the-field experiment with 390 adolescents in mixed classrooms in Italy. Within each class, students were randomly assigned to small groups that received either...

This paper studies how parental leave quotas may foster a more gender-equal division of parental responsibilities by increasing fathers' uptake of leave beyond the reserved amount. Specifically, the paper examines whether the introduction and expansion of 30-days parental leave quotas in Sweden...

We map the intellectual structure of teamwork in project management (PM) using a triangulated bibliometric design to interrogate 16,320 Scopus records (1966-November 2023). Three complementary lenses-keyword co-occurrence (topical cohesion), bibliographic coupling (research front), and...

This study investigates how generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) transforms collaborative innovation by serving not only as a productivity tool but also as a cognitive partner in workplace problem-solving. Drawing on Piaget's theory of assimilation and accommodation, we propose that the...

Students' university experience includes both academic and non-academic outcomes, which are shaped by the educational environment in which students interact. We refer to this environment as university climate and measure it along three dimensions: conformity to masculinity-related attitudes and...

This paper studies whether alternative integration-policy framings affect cooperation in ethnically diverse groups. We conduct a lab-in-the-field experiment with 390 adolescents in mixed classrooms in Italy. Within each class, students were randomly assigned to small groups that received either...

We apply a novel approach to estimate the effects of exposure to peers with different attributes by using the predetermined leave-own-out attributes of all classmates in randomly assigned classes. This strategy allows a behavioural interpretation of the peer effect over and above the pure...

Micro-foundational HRM has advanced our understanding of how employees perceive and respond to HR practices, yet explanations of how HR systems can generate and sustain coordinated action in day-to-day work remain underspecified. This article presents a theory-building integrative review that...

In an online experiment with a representative US sample (N=12,960) we show that increasing the salience of an economic or cultural conflict without providing any news boosts disagreement on a range of political issues by 8-35%. The data support two key predictions of the Bonomi et al. (2021)...

Innovation drives China's high-quality economic development, with corporate R&D investment being key to innovation. Using data from Chinese A-share non-financial listed firms (2010-2022), this study defines peer firms using a four-dimensional dynamic matching method of "year-industry-ownership...

Emotional intelligence (EI) and transformational leadership (TL) have been identified as key factors in team effectiveness (TE); however, the empirical evidence remains fragmented and exhibits substantial conceptual and methodological heterogeneity, particularly in studies that simultaneously...

This study is aimed to explore the influence of predominant social factors such as family, peers and media on consumer socialization and to analyze the relationship between socialization agents and the consumer literacy knowledge (CLK) of youngsters.This is a cross-sectional study conducted on...

In this paper, we estimate a translog production function for Major League Baseball (MLB) teams that uses factor inputs for hitting, pitching and defence over the 1960-2024 MLB seasons. The computed elasticities of substitution suggest that hitting and pitching are used in fixed proportions,...

This paper exploits a unique norm‑shifting setting - a German pension reform that equalized retirement ages across genders - to examine how old‑age employment propagates through workplace networks. The reform raised women's earliest claiming age from 60 to 63 for cohorts born in 1952 onward....
