| Human Capital Management in Audit Firms: The Use of Lean Six Sigma. By DeRoy, Tiffany;Popova, Velina K.;Hermanson, Dana R. Accounting Horizons. Dec2025, Vol. 39 Issue 4, p75-93. 19p. Abstract :SYNOPSIS: Given human capital management challenges in accounting, we examine Lean Six Sigma (LSS) usage and auditors` work environment and audit quality indicators (AQIs). We consider both mean levels of these variables, as well as the relation between burnout, resilience, and turnover intentions and AQIs. Based on survey responses from 200 primarily regional firm auditors, we find minimal differences in mean levels of work environment variables and AQIs between Non-LSS and LSS firms but evidence that Old LSS firms (adopted LSS pre-2020) are rated more favorably than New LSS firms, suggesting benefits of mature LSS adoption. Further, resilience is positively related to AQIs only for LSS firms (both Old and New), whereas turnover intentions are negatively related to AQIs only for Non-LSS firms, suggesting benefits of LSS adoption. However, burnout is negatively related to AQIs in all groups of firms, especially Old LSS firms. We discuss implications for practice. | ||
| A Moral, Self-regulatory Perspective on the Consequences of Maximum Downward Envy. By Sun, Fufu;Li, Jinsong;Cai, Yahua;Kwan, Ho Kwong Journal of Business Ethics. Dec2025, p1-14. Abstract :The literature on downward envy mainly explores its consequences at the dyadic level, given the role of envy as a “call to action” that motivates leaders to reduce the gap between themselves and the envied employee. In this paper, we argue that downward envy can be a team-level phenomenon and that its outcomes are due to an out-of-control situation. Specifically, we posit that maximum downward envy triggers ego depletion in leaders, in turn causing them to engage in team-level abusive supervision. We further propose that these relationships are moderated by the leaders’ moral disengagement propensity. Our hypotheses are supported by results from an analysis of 53 leaders and 335 employees. Our findings thus advance the extant literature on downward envy and have important implications for practitioners in terms of managing envy and abusive supervision. | ||
| Algorithmic Writing Assistance on Jobseekers` Resumes Increases Hires. By Wiles, Emma;Munyikwa, Zanele;Horton, John Management Science. Dec2025, Vol. 71 Issue 12, p10144-10164. 21p. Abstract :There is a strong association between writing quality in resumes for new labor market entrants and whether they are ultimately hired. We show this relationship is, at least partially, causal: In a field experiment in an online labor market with nearly half a million jobseekers, treated jobseekers received nongenerative algorithmic writing assistance on their resumes. Treated jobseekers were hired 8% more often at 10% higher wages. Contrary to concerns that the assistance takes away a valuable signal, we find no evidence that employers were less satisfied. We find that the writing on treated jobseekers resumes had fewer errors and was easier to read. Our analysis suggests that writing is an imperfect signal of ability but better writing helps employers ascertain ability through clearer writing, suggesting digital platforms could benefit from incorporating nongenerative algorithmic writing assistance into text-based descriptions of labor services or products. This paper was accepted by Anindya Ghose, information systems. Funding: J. Horton and E. Wiles received funding from the online labor market on which this experiment was run. No authors received funding from the Algorithmic Writing Service. Supplemental Material: The online appendix and data files are available at https://doi.org/10.1287/mnsc.2024.04528. | ||
