Career success after stigmatizing organizational events
研究了六种组织污名化事件(如媒体批评、裁员、诉讼等)对员工跳槽后职业成功的影响,发现企业绩效下滑的信号对职业成功打击最大,而外部雇主对公共机构或员工发起的诉讼不太敏感。
Abstract This article examines the effect of six types of stigmatizing organizational events on employees' career moves to another employer: criticism of the organization in the media; resignation of key individuals from the organization; downsizing; a drop in net income; lawsuits launched by the Securities and Exchange Commission, competitors, or customers; and lawsuits launched by employees. Stigmatizing events that signal the decline of corporate performance are the most devastating for professional career success. Outsiders, on the other hand, are less sensitive to an organization's involvement in lawsuits launched by public authorities or employees. Stigmatizing events affect the career success of every professional in the organization, irrespective of his or her hierarchical level. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
