“…Of the 312 coaches that were contacted, 127 (40.7%) responded. Given the high status and time demands of being a head coach, this response rate is quite good and is consistent with response rates obtained by other researchers using similar samples (e.g., Sagas and Cunningham 2004;Wright et al 1995).…”

This study examined the effects of mentorprotégé similarity (sex and attitudinal) and relationship duration on the quantity of mentoring (psychosocial and career) received. Survey data collected from 97 National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I women's basketball head coaches in the USA indicated both types of similarity were associated with the receipt of more psychosocial and career mentoring as assistant coaches. Those who had White male mentors also reported receiving more career mentoring than those with sex dissimilar mentors. Finally, the effects of sex similarity were significantly weaker in longer than in shorter mentoring relationships.

“…Li-Qun Wei and Chung-Ming Lau confirmed this view (Huselid, 1995;Jackson, Schuler, & Rivero, 1989;Snell & Dean, 1992;Wright, Smart, & McMahan, 1995). Thus the way in which firms react to the external environment impacts their internal processes.…”

This study examines market orientation as the antecedent to strategic human resource management (SHRM), and the related effects on firm performance in an emerging economy context. It is suggested that the relationship between SHRM and firm performance is moderated by ownership type and autonomy in staffing of these firms. Empirical results from a sample of Chinese firms from various industries and regions reveal that SHRM mediates the relationship between market orientation and firm performance. It is also found that the effect of SHRM on firm performance is stronger for firms with a higher degree of autonomy in staffing, and weaker for private firms. Other types of ownership (state or foreign) have no effect on this relationship. Journal of International Business Studies (2008) 39, 980–995. doi:10.1057/palgrave.jibs.8400395

“…Two key demographic characteristics, education and experience, underlie the concept of human capital (Becker, 1975). A key component of human capital is the possession of knowledge that is specific and not easily appropriable, and which yields competitive advantage (Barney, 1991;Pennings, Lee, and Witteloostuijn, 1998;Wright, Smart, and McMahan, 1995). Numerous studies have established that human capital is a key factor in explaining organizational performance (Bruderl, Preisendorfer, and Ziegler, 1992;Gimeno, Folta, Cooper, and Woo, 1997;Pennings et al, 1998).…”

Using a human capital perspective, we investigated the relationship between the education and experience of the top management teams of venture capital firms (VCFs) and the firms' performance. We found that although general human capital had a positive association with the proportion of portfolio companies that went public [initial public offering (IPO)], specific human capital did not. However, we did find that specific human capital was negatively associated with the proportion of portfolio companies that went bankrupt. Interestingly, some findings were contrary to expectations from a human capital perspective, specifically the relationship between general human capital and the proportion of portfolio companies that went bankrupt. Future research is suggested. D
