PublicationWorking Paper: Understanding the Healthcare Context - A Review of Management and Organization Studies in the Medical FieldHealthcare as a management practice has received increased scholarly attention over the past three decades. However, it has remained fragmented as a field and not adequately contextualized in management and organization studies (MOS). The failure to embed the literature in its contextual setting risks limiting the potential for advances in MOS. Based on 166 articles published in high-impact journals between 1990 and 2022, this review addresses this fragmentation by offering a comprehensive and up-to-date summary of MOS undertaken in healthcare, detailing its distinctive traits and underlying dynamics. Identifying directions for future research and defining areas of tension as contextual boundary objects will increase the cumulative potential of MOS literature in healthcare and provide a basis for the appropriate contextualization of theoretical contributions.Type: journal article

PublicationEmpowering leadership and work identity in times of crisisThe role of empowering leadership in the process of managing change during times of large-scale systemic stress is ambiguous and insufficiently investigated. We develop an intraindividual change model of coping through empowerment that proposes that increasing empowering leadership is necessary to strengthen employees’ individual psychological capital over time in order to manage organizational change during crisis. By distinguishing between individual strategies for retaining existing resources and acquiring new ones when exposed to systemic stress, we further develop and test a moderated mediation model that empowering leadership increases coping with change though psychological capital only when work identity as a resource is weak. A strong work identity serves as a source of empowerment, thus providing a competing strategy for resource conservation and a limitation to the impact of empowering leadership on psychological capital. We base our study on longitudinal survey data from nursing staff during the peak wave of the COVID-19 pandemic and integrate the theory of resource conservation and work identity to make these claims. Our findings bring novel insights to our understanding of empowering leadership and the management of employees during high-impact systemic crises.Type: conference paper
