- Speak! paradoxical effects of a managerial culture of ‘speaking up’Publication . Cunha, Miguel Pina e; Simpson, Ace Volkmann; Clegg, Stewart R.; Rego, ArménioWe explore the intrinsic ambiguity of speaking up in a multinational healthcare subsidiary A culture change initiative, emphasizing learning and agility through encouraging employees to speak up, gave rise to paradoxical effects. Some employees interpreted a managerial tool for improving effectiveness as an invitation to raise challenging points of difference rather than as something ‘beneficial for the organization’.We show that the process of introducing a culture that aims to encourage employees to speak up can produce tensions and contradictions that make various types of organizational paradoxes salient Telling people to ‘speak up!’ may render paradoxical tensions salient and even foster a sense of low PsySafe.
- The perceived impact of leaders’ humility on team effectiveness: an empirical studyPublication . Rego, Arménio; Cunha, Miguel Pina e; Simpson, Ace VolkmannWe assess the perceived impact of leaders’ humility (both self and other-reported) on team effectiveness, and how this relationship is mediated by balanced processing of information. Ninety-six leaders (plus 307 subordinates, 96 supervisors, and 656 peers of those leaders) participate in the study. The findings suggest that humility in leaders (as reported by others/peers) is indirectly (i.e., through balanced processing) related to leaders’ perceived impact on team effectiveness. The study also corroborates literature pointing out the benefits of using other-reports (rather than self-reports) to measure humility, and suggests adding humility to the authentic leadership research agenda.
