Home sweet home / Michael S. Dahl in Management science, Vol. 58 N° 6 (Juin 2012) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Management science > Vol. 58 N° 6 (Juin 2012) . - pp.1059-1071 Titre : Home sweet home : Entrepreneurs' location choices and the performance of their ventures Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Michael S. Dahl, Auteur ; Olav Sorenson, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : pp.1059-1071 Note générale : Management Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Organizational  studies  Effectiveness–performance  Behavior  Economics  Econometrics Résumé : Entrepreneurs, even more than employees, tend to locate in regions in which they have deep roots (“home” regions). Here, we examine the performance implications of these choices. Whereas one might expect entrepreneurs to perform better in these regions because of their richer endowments of regionally embedded social capital, they might also perform worse if their location choices rather reflect a preference for spending time with family and friends. We examine this question using comprehensive data on Danish start-ups. Ventures perform better—survive longer and generate greater annual profits and cash flows—when located in regions in which their founders have lived longer. This effect appears substantial, similar in size to the value of prior experience in the industry (i.e., to being a spin-off).

Organizational change and employee stress / Michael S. Dahl in Management science, Vol. 57 N° 2 (Février 2011) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Management science > Vol. 57 N° 2 (Février 2011) . - pp. 240-256 Titre : Organizational change and employee stress Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Michael S. Dahl, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : pp. 240-256 Note générale : Management Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Organizational  studies  Personnel  Behavior  Strategy Index. décimale : 658 Organisation des entreprises. Techniques du commerce Résumé : This article analyzes the relationship between organizational change and employee health. It illuminates the potentially negative outcomes of change at the level of the employee. In addition, it relates to the ongoing debate over how employees react to and respond to organizational change. I hypothesize that change increases the risk of negative stress, and I test this hypothesis using a comprehensive panel data set of all stress-related medicine prescriptions for 92,860 employees working in 1,517 of the largest Danish organizations. The findings suggest that the risk of receiving stress-related medication increases significantly for employees at organizations that change, especially those that undergo broad simultaneous changes along several dimensions. Thus, organizational changes are associated with significant risks of employee health problems. These effects are further explored with respect to employees at different hierarchical levels as well as at firms of different sizes and from different sectors.
