Mixed Blessing

Significance President Mauricio Macri's Cambiemos coalition has only 15 Senate seats, and his resounding success depended on the support of the opposition Peronists -- notably the Frente para la Victoria (FPV) faction of former President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, 26 of whose members voted in favour. This backing may, however, prove fickle and subject to frequent and costly renegotiation. Impacts Any economic benefits of the default resolution will take time to be felt. New borrowing by provinces in particular may prove a mixed blessing. Major transport and utility tariff hikes today will drive inflation and wage demands.

Significance Since it effectively criminalises dissent against China’s ruling Communist Party, there are growing concerns about how it might impact the city’s business environment. The loss of Hong Kong's appeal as a financial hub could be both a help and a hindrance to the ASEAN region. Impacts South-east Asian governments will inform their citizens of the law’s extraterritorial scope. As China-US tensions worsen, most ASEAN countries will try to avoid taking sides between Beijing and Washington. Hong Kong’s economy will become more closely tied to mainland China’s.

Moderating Role

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the double-edged effects of supervisor bottom-line mentality (BLM) on subordinates' work-related behaviors (work performance and knowledge hiding) and the moderating role of subordinate gender.Design/methodology/approachThe theoretical model was tested using a sample of 218 three-wave multi-source data collected from employees of five firms in southern China.FindingsThe results revealed that supervisor BLM is positively associated with subordinate BLM. Although subordinate BLM can enhance their work performance, it can also lead to knowledge hiding toward coworkers. Furthermore, these indirect effects are moderated by subordinate gender.Practical implicationsManagers should pay more attention to the potential positive and negative consequences of supervisor BLM and intervene to mitigate the negative impact of BLM.Originality/valueThis study is among the first to examine how supervisor BLM can be a mixed blessing and elicit both positive and negative behaviors from their subordinates. Moreover, by illuminating how subordinate gender moderates the relationship between supervisor BLM and subordinates' work-related behaviors, we enrich and extend the BLM literature.

Inside Out

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide an inside-out perspective on the practices and effects of talent management (TM) in a multinational organization. Design/methodology/approach The study adopts an autoethnographic approach focusing on the experiences of the first author during her employment in a multinational organization. This approach contributes to the literature by providing an insider talent perspective that thus far has not been presented in TM research. Findings Applying autoethnography as a means to address the inside-out perspective in TM reveals a tension. The authors label this phenomenon the “talent paradox,” defined as the mix of simultaneously occurring opportunities and risks for individuals identified and celebrated as a talent. Originality/value The paper may be of value to TM scholars and practitioners, as well as to employees who have been identified as high potentials or talents in their organizations. In contrast with the TM literature’s optimism, the findings illuminate that being identified as a talent may paradoxically produce both empowerment and powerlessness. Attending to personal aspects of TM processes is relevant for organizations as well as for individuals as it enables reflection and sensemaking.
