研究実績の概要

This project uses a mixed methods approach to examine the role of bridging individuals and its impact on the interpersonal relationship in multinational companies. Due to COVID-19, many organizations have shifted to remote work, so I expanded my current project to include virtual work environments. I conducted two cross-country studies, one quantitative and one qualitative, focusing on the impact of virtual work on employee behavior and performance. In addition, I conducted a longitudinal survey study examining the relationship between empowering leadership and organizational justice in the new normal of hybrid work. Also, I started a new study focusing on global talent in foreign subsidiaries and the relationship with subsidiary strategies. Two papers have been submitted to the International Journal of Human Resource Management and the Journal of International Business Studies.

理由

In the second year of this project, I worked on four main studies. First, I completed a paper on the double-edged sword effect of bridging individuals and bridging roles, which was submitted to the top journal in the field of international business: Journal of International Business Studies. I am currently working on the first round of revise and resubmit. Second, I completed a cross-country survey study of 994 expatriates in virtual work environments in eight countries. The final model of this paper focuses on how expatriates with different host country language proficiencies use various mechanisms to improve their virtual work adaptivity. This paper is in its third round of revise and resubmit. Third, as the second author, we completed the paper on the relationship between empowering leadership and organizational justice in the new normal and am preparing it for submission to the Journal of Management. Fourth, I have also started a new study focusing on global talent in subsidiaries and the relationship between global talent portfolios and subsidiary strategies. Finally, I will be presenting two papers at the largest management conference: Academy of Management in Seattle.

今後の研究の推進方策

In the third year of this research program, I will focus on four main projects. First, I will challenge the revise and resubmit requirements of all three papers that have been submitted, especially those submitted to the Journal of International Business Studies. Second, I will submit my paper on "Global Talent in Foreign Subsidiaries" to the integrative review section of the Journal of International Business Studies. Third, I will start a new empirical study on the bridging role of locally hired parent company nationals and how they behave in a two-step bridging process between headquarters and subsidiaries. Fourth, I will complete the qualitative project I started last year, focusing on knowledge transfer processes in virtual work.

次年度使用額が生じた理由

Due to the impact of Covid-19, all academic conferences were cancelled or converted to online conferences. As a result, one national conference and four international conferences' travel expenses were left unused.
