Resources for What? Understanding Performance in the Resource-Based View and Strategic Human Capital Resource Literatures (2021, background): “Research needs to consider what types of human capital resources most contribute to different types of performance (Crook et al., 2011) and for how long such relationships last under different competitive and contextual environments.”
Human Capital Is Dead; Long Live Human Capital Resources! (2014, background): “There may be some benefits of firm-specific resources over generic resources (e.g., more strongly related to operational performance; Crook et al., 2011), but competitive advantage is not necessarily one of them.”
ESG and financial performance: aggregated evidence from more than 2000 empirical studies (2015, background): “aspects (van Wijk, Jansen, and Lyles 2008; Crook et al. 2011; Stam, Arzlanian, and Elfring 2014) usually find higher correlations, in contrast to environmental-focused meta-analyses (Albertini 2013; Dixon-Fowler et al.”
Are Family Firms Good Employers (2017, background): “They call for research that tests these theories using robust measures whose scope encompasses the organization as a whole (e.g., Crook, Todd, Combs, Woehr, & Ketchen, 2011; Jiang, Lepak, Hu, & Baer, 2012).”
“To have and have not”: founders’ human capital and university start-up survival (2013, background): “Indeed, as highlighted in Crook et al. (2011), the effect of founders’ human capital on firm performance is stronger when measurements capture more specific dimensions of human capital.”
