| Description | What is the nature and role of bosses in organizations? I analyse panel data at the employee-level from a multinational ?rm operating in 114 countries for the period 2011-2019. To identify the role of bosses, I exploit variation in manager-employee matches generated by a rotation policy that induces exogenous matching between them. Preliminary findings show that senior managers are more likely to reward high performance and fire poor performers. This suggests that managers are evaluated and held accountable for selecting and retaining top talent. I propose to explore next how the ability of managers to select talent is affected by the labor market regulations of the different countries in which the firm operates. |
| Exploitation Route | This is still early to say, but the outcomes will be useful to any organisation where human capital is especially important. This includes private sector organisations as well as public sector ones. |

| Description | My findings were generated together with my collaboration partner that provided the data. They will be used to design more effective HR policies inside the company. They will also contribute to advancing scientific knowledge. As the research is still in progress, all results are still preliminary and more analysis is planned to go forward. |
