Reversed Riches and Matthew’s Curse: The Liability of Status When Organizations Misbehave
本文提出高地位组织在发生不当行为时，因其更受关注而面临更大风险，并分析了两种具体机制，对研究地位如何放大或减轻不当行为风险有启示。
Merton’s Matthew Effect essay led to a vast literature on the cumulative advantages associated with prestige. Most management research in this vein focuses on the benefits that come to organizations that receive greater recognition for their performance than their lower status counterparts. In this essay, we argue that increased recognition can also be associated with greater exposure to certain risks when an organization engages in misconduct. We identify two specific mechanisms through which these risks emerge and discuss implications for future research on the complex role that status can play in intensifying and mitigating the risks posed by misconduct.
