“…Failure of diversity management such as cultural diversity management (Inegbedion, 2020), which means stages of lacking shared understanding, poses threats to organization efficiency. It was summarized that the positive effects of shared understanding in groups were: group member satisfaction, coordination, reduction of iterative loops and rework, innovation, team morale (Bittner & Leimeister, 2013) and decision quality (Wach et al. , 2020).…”

“…Various configurations of organizational characteristics are differentially related to effectiveness and efficiency (Ostroff & Schmitt, 1993; Sowa et al. , 2004), both internal and external relations are significant (Fan, Wong, & Zhang, 2007; Shin & Ahn, 2021; Martín Pérez & Martín Cruz, 2020; Edwards & Cable, 2009; Kellermanns, Walter, Floyd, Lechner, & Shaw, 2011; Alrowwad, Almajali, Masa'deh, Obeidat, & Aqqad, 2019; Wach, Wehner, Weißenberger, & Kabst, 2020; Kacperska & Łukasiewicz, 2020) to the improvement of overall effectiveness and efficiency of the organization. In the case of a youth organization, four cohesion, organization, resourcefulness and energy (CORE) conditions were assumed to be centrally important for youth organizations to function effectively (Conyne, 1983).…”

PurposeCollaboration is significant but difficult for the development of youth organizations, this research aims to explore whether the online collaboration process is suitable for youth organizations' collaboration and improve their effectiveness and efficiency.Design/methodology/approachThis research has applied a design approach using the collaboration engineering method, to design an online collaboration process for youth organizations to improve their effectiveness and efficiency. Using a self-developed group support systems (GSS) tool, the authors have tested the new collaboration process through an experiment among four youth organizations and conducted a survey afterwards.FindingsThe new process improves the collaboration effectiveness and efficiency. The research also identifies the detailed relationships among influencing factors in the online collaboration process.Originality/valueThere is little research in the context of computer mediated youth organization collaboration. This research designs an online collaboration process for the effective and efficient collaboration of youth organizations and has it tested among representative youth organizations, providing practical instructions for digital youth organization collaboration in the context of global pandemic.

“…Nevertheless, there have been efforts discussing other concepts related to the same phenomenon. For example, Wach et al based their research on the theoretical concept of strategic consensus, which according to them, describes a group decision-making process and participants' belief that the outcome (i.e., decision) is right [4].…”

“…The main benefits of strategic consensus are listed as increased organizational performance, cohesiveness, shared mentality, and trust [4]. Although the negative outcome related to the lack of strategic consensus can be easily identified (e.g., inefficient use of resources, disengagement, high employee turnover), they concluded that there are mixed empirical findings on the actual economic impact of the lack of strategic consensus [4].…”

“…It should be noted, though, that the described consultative model is not generous to the degree that it can be generalized to the participatory model [35,36]. • Its strategy will be both innovational and oriented to cost minimization, as aligned with strategy-oriented insights in [4,7,41,42] for firms either explicitly identified as construction companies or largely having characteristics adjacent to the modelling attributes of the exemplar "ideal type" construction firm conceptualized here. The organizational structures will be medium-to-highly concentrated and the degree of control quite strict.…”

Game Theory-Based Minimization of the Ostracism Risk in Construction Companies

Strategic and managemerial decision-making in an organization can have a crucial effect for the whole entity; however, it rarely involves the organization’s employees evenly at the different organizational levels. The result is—what is addressed in this paper as—the ostracism risk, namely the risk accruing from the lack of satisfaction of underprivileged employees’ groups during the decision-making process. The ostracism risk could jeopardize the organization’s integrity and therefore requires effective treatment. This paper aims at verifying a conceptual approach, which is proposed as a methodology for assessing the probability of organizational cooperation when deciding under risk, thus minimizing ostracism risk. The proposed approach is based on organizational and human resources management (HRM) theories and is contextualized for construction through the understanding of systems theory. The proposed methodology presents a potential modelling via game theory of a medium-sized construction company that is organized according to Mintzberg’s organizational model. The utilization of the bounded Pareto distribution is presented as an approach of the model’s probabilistic processing, and the potential for estimating the probabilities to adopt a favorable cooperational decision is verified. The paper concludes with the reference to the next steps required for the methodology’s validation and further improvement.

Despite of the increasing attention on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) implementation, emerging multinational corporations (EMNCs), and their foreign subsidiaries, as the promising contributors and main agents respectively to address SDG issues worldwide, have been rarely noticed in theoretical research. Drawing upon the loose coupling theory, this study seeks to address the unique challenges EMNCs facing in managing their foreign subsidiaries' SDG implementation, and informs on tackling the potential conflicts in meeting multiple SDG requirements of home and host countries. Based on a sample of 295 foreign subsidiaries from Chinese manufacturing firms, this study adopts polynomial quadratic regression with response surface analysis to examine the relationship between headquarter‐subsidiary (HQS) coupling structure and subsidiary sustainable development, as well as the role of parent corporate environmental responsibility (CER) and FDI motives in this process. Our findings demonstrate support for the positive effect of HQS coupling structure on subsidiary sustainable development, and the moderating role of FDI motives is confirmed. This study reveals the key mechanisms and contingencies of SDG implementation at the subsidiary level, and provides theoretical insights for EMNCs to tackle SDG issues globally, obtain legitimacy locally and deepen international expansion accordingly.
