Neither blank slate nor set in stone : cultural behaviors of organizational newcomers
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This thesis probes the causes and consequences of cultural behavior of new organizational members - newcomers. Chapter 1 models and simulates the effect of inter-organizational mobility on cultural diversity in organizational populations, demonstrating how culture within organizations may be shaped by the behavior of other organizations via culture carriers. Chapter 2 leverages modern tools from computational linguistics to analyze when individuals switch cultural codes following an organizational merger, highlighting the interacting effects of social status and adaptability. Chapter 3 builds on the data and methods developed in Chapter 2 to examine the network conditions that shape emergent cultural change, finding that individuals in brokerage positions are more likely to become sources, or vanguards, of future culture. Collectively, these chapters draw attention to organizational structures and boundaries as key sources of cultural variation and change
