| Faculty Recruitment Among Business Schools: Does Prestige Matter Beyond Borders? By Iyer, Gayatri International Studies of Management & Organization,Summer2026 Abstract :The primary objective of this paper is to examine whether institutional prestige plays a role in faculty recruitment among and across US-based, European and Indian Business schools (B-schools). The study uses university rank as the criterion and PhD-awarding B-schools as the unit of analysis to assess institutional prestige. Data were obtained from the following ranking agencies: Financial Times Business School Rankings, Business Today and NIRF Rankings. Network patterns of hiring relationships were analyzed using the Gephi (version 0.10) software using an original data set of all employed academic staff (N = 6561) across 87 universities from the US, Europe and India. Network patterns were analyzed using the modularity and centrality (in-degree and out-degree) measures. Tier-wise analyses show that the extent of interaction between B-schools within the same tier becomes sparse as we move down the tiers, indicating the presence of an "academic caste system." Region-wise analyses highlight the role of prestige in faculty hiring in the US and Indian networks and the influence of linguistic barriers in the European and Indian contexts. Prestige appears unimportant for recruitment in European B-schools. In India, the roles of statutory government bodies and the type of institution (public/private sector) impact the nature of faculty affiliations. | ||
| Nike and Coca-Cola cases point to the next DEI fight: who gets to claim discrimination. By Stoller, Kristin Fortune.com,3/17/2026 Abstract :The article focuses on the evolving landscape of workplace discrimination claims, highlighting increased scrutiny from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) on issues including reverse discrimination. Vanessa Matsis-McCready, associate general counsel and vice president of HR at Engage PEO, advises companies to ground diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts in clear business rationale to ensure their longevity and effectiveness. Recent trends show that DEI policy changes significantly impact businesses, with HR leaders encouraged to improve company culture, employee communication, and hiring documentation to mitigate legal risks. The article underscores the importance of selecting qualified candidates while maintaining DEI principles, amid heightened awareness and reporting of discrimination claims. | ||
| Diversity-focused HRM practices and team knowledge sharing behavior: the mediating roles of involvement climate and shared leadership. By Qamar, Faisal;Soomro, Shuaib Ahmed;Kundi, Yasir Mansoor;Shahid, Subhan International Journal of Human Resource Management,Mar2026 Abstract :AbstractDiversity-focused Human Resource Management (DHRM) practices and team knowledge-sharing behavior (KSB) are crucial for enhancing performance and fostering inclusive workplaces. They develop positive employee perceptions and help shape an organization’s culture. Therefore, this study applies a relational perspective to investigate the relationship between DHRM practices and team KSB through employee involvement climate and shared leadership as serial mediators. It uses a multi-level and multi-wave dataset of 248 employees and their team leaders (n = 55) nested within 21 organizations. The authors followed a 2-2-1-1 research framework in which organizational DHRM practices (a level 2 variable) influenced team KSB (a level 1 outcome variable). This relationship was mediated by employee involvement climate within the organization (a level 2 variable) and shared leadership within teams (a level 1 variable). The findings support our hypotheses that DHRM practices enhance teams’ KSB via serial mediation of involvement climate and shared leadership. This study enriches our understanding of team-level knowledge sharing by empirically testing a multi-level model and emphasizes that prioritizing DHRM practices foster positive aspects of teamwork. Organizations should value the unique characteristics of diverse workforce and encourage employee involvement in decision-making. This involvement nurtures shared leadership abilities, which in turn enhance knowledge-sharing tendencies within teams. | ||
