When Peer Recognition Backfires: The Impact of Peer Information on Subsequent Helping Behavior*

Peer recognition systems (PRS) have gained popularity in recent years as a means for organizations to promote employee helping behavior. However, there are theoretical reasons to believe that peer information that is publicly disclosed in PRS may reduce subsequent helping behavior, and I use an experiment to test my theory. Specifically, I examine a three-employee setting where an employee (the worker) receives no recognition for helping a coworker (the recognizer) but another coworker (the helper) does. I predict and find that the worker's willingness to subsequently help the recognizer/helper is lower when the worker perceives that the worker's initial help exceeds (vs. subceeds) the helper's. I also find that the worker's perception of fairness mediates the process, and the worker's willingness to help the recognizer has a spillover effect on the worker's willingness to help the helper. My study provides the first empirical evidence of the negative impact that PRS have on helping behavior.     

企业技术知识基础多元度对独立创新与合作创新平衡互补效应的影响

整合独立创新与合作创新的协同作用对企业生存和发展具有重要意义。基于知识基础理论，构建技术知识基础相关与非相关多元度、知识整合能力对企业独立创新和合作创新协同性（互补性与平衡性两个维度）的影响效应模型，利用2009—2018年中国生物制药行业80家企业发明专利数据进行实证检验。结果表明，技术知识基础相关多元度对企业独立创新与合作创新互补性具有正向影响，对两类创新活动平衡性具有负向影响；技术知识基础非相关多元度对独立与合作创新互补性具有倒U型影响，对两类创新活动平衡性具有负向影响。企业知识整合能力负向调节技术知识基础相关多元度对独立创新和合作创新互补性的正向影响，削弱技术知识基础相关多元度与独立创新和合作创新平衡性之间的负向关系。同时，企业知识整合能力在技术知识基础非相关多元度与独立创新和合作创新互补性间起负向调节作用。     

“双碳”目标下农地细碎化对植被碳汇的影响研究

目的 提升植被碳汇被视为应对气候变化、如期实现“双碳”目标的重要抓手。尽可能全面地识别农地细碎化对植被碳汇的影响，能够从侧面展示农地细碎化治理蕴藏的生态价值。方法 文章基于卫星遥感数据，测算2001—2019年中国省级农地细碎化和植被碳汇水平，采用双向固定效应模型和空间计量模型实证考察农地细碎化对植被碳汇的影响。结果 （1）农地细碎化会显著降低植被碳汇，农地细碎化指数每增加1%，植被碳汇降低0.127 4%。（2）从农地细碎化维度来看，面积和分布细碎化均会显著降低植被碳汇。（3）从土地覆被类型来看，农地细碎化的影响并非局限于农地，同样会降低林地和草地碳汇，农地细碎化指数每增加1%，林草碳汇降低0.138 5%。（4）从空间关联来看，农地细碎化的影响并非局限于当地，同样会降低周边地区植被碳汇，存在空间溢出效应。（5）农业综合开发的土地治理项目能够降低农地细碎化对植被碳汇的负面影响，且相较于自筹资金，财政资金的治理效应更优，相较于农地治理，生态综合治理的治理效应更优。结论 应加强“生命共同体”系统思维，全面认知农地细碎化影响植被碳汇的广度和深度，重视农地细碎化治理的生态价值。在农地细碎化治理中充分发挥政府的主导作用，将生态保护和修复列为农地细碎化治理的前提。     

Are culturally intelligent professionals more committed to organizations? Examining Chinese expatriation in Belt & Road Countries

The main purpose of this study is to explore the relationships between cultural intelligence (CQ) and organizational commitment in Belt & Road area, with critical consideration given to the moderating effect of cultural distance (CD) on the commensurate relationships. We examined a dataset of 390 international professionals on Chinese cross-border projects in Belt & Road countries. Findings indicate that cognitive CQ has an inverted U-shaped relationship with organizational commitment, while motivational CQ has a positive linear relationship with organizational commitment, and cultural distance moderates the relationships between CQ and commitment such that negative or positive moderation occur contingent on whether the optimal CQ level is reached. Our results suggest the need for identifying an inflection point of individuals’ CQ level to differentiate between the increasing and decreasing trend of organizational commitment in view of the effect of cultural distance. This may help enabling multinationals to leverage expatriates with different levels of CQ to stay committed in multi-cultural environments along the Belt & Road countries.
