ORGANIZATIONAL HIRING PATTERNS, INTERFIRM NETWORK TIES, AND INTERORGANIZATIONAL IMITATION.
研究将社会传染和制度理论引入人力资源管理，分析财富500强企业高管团队招聘模式，发现企业倾向于从有网络联系的来源招聘，且招聘模式受模仿同构影响。
This study introduces the principles of social contagion and institutional theory to human resource management by examining the top management team (TMT) hiring patterns of Fortune 500 firms. Results provide some initial but promising evidence that social environmental factors should be incorporated into human resource management theory. Specifically, results indicate that firms hired TMT members from sources with which they shared interfirm network ties and that TMT hiring patterns were shaped by mimetic isomorphism.
