A question of top talent? The effects of lateral hiring in two emerging economies
基于对两个新兴经济体的定性研究，提出了一个整合的阶段模型，解释横向招聘如何影响原企业及其员工，揭示了心理和情感效应如何促使现有员工寻求意义、提升可见度、职业适应性和市场竞争力。
On the basis of a qualitative study in two emerging economies, we advance the literature on lateral hiring by developing an integrated phase model to explain how the effects of lateral hiring unfold to affect the originating firm and its employees. Our work uncovered two types of effects on the originating firm, i.e. first-order and second-order effects. Our stage model elucidates how the psychological and emotional effects are manifest to affect the existing employees. Personnel poaching appear to have triggered the quest for meaning and attempts by the existing employees to enhance their visibility, career adaptability and marketability. We discuss implications for practice, theory and research on lateral hiring.
