Abstract： Although experimental vignette methodology (EVM) enhances both internal and ecological validity, there is still a lack of detailed and standardized guidance for the design of vignettes in the field of management. Based on this, this study first introduced the definition and types of EVM. The differences between EVM and contextual priming methodology were also clarified. Secondly, this study coded and analyzed 93 scenario experiments drawn from 20 major domestic and foreign management-related journals in the past five years. Utilizing the coded data, we answered the question of how to design the vignettes of EVM from the three stages of pre-design, design and post-design. Among them, the pre-design phase focused on when to use the EVM; the design stage focused on how to draft the vignettes, which was divided into five sub-stages: determining the number of vignettes, drafting the vignettes, choosing the media, standardizing vignettes and enhancing vignettes realism. The post-design stage focused on evaluating whether the vignettes were clear, realistic, complete and effective. If the vignettes didn’t pass the test or there was a need for another scenario experiment, the researcher should return to the design stage to continuously modify or rewrite the vignettes until they met the standards. Future research could use incident technique, information technology to design the vignettes. Furthermore, vignettes with iterative decision are encouraged to be created. It is also important to note that the design process of vignettes should follow theoretical guidance. In doing so, it will help enhance the applicability, richness and authenticity of vignettes.

Abstract：
Voice-taking is originated from the ancient time and it’s crucial for the growth and success of an organization. This paper dealt with a detailed review on the concept, antecedents and outcomes of voice-taking. It found that existing studies paid less attention to the connotation of voice-taking and focused on discussing the antecedents of voice-taking, which were not conducive to in-depth understanding of the connotation and effects of voice-taking. Voice-taking is a deliberate cognitive process. Meanwhile, as a conscious behavior, it’s also a goal-directed behavior driven by motivation. From the perspective of motivation of voice-taking, this paper systematically explores the connotation of voice-taking and its effect mechanisms based on the regulatory focus theory. Specifically, according to motivation perspective and regulatory focus theory, voice-taking may include two sub-dimensions: promotive voice-taking and preventive voice-taking. Subsequently, the different effect mechanisms of promotive voice-taking and preventive voice-taking on voice behaviors and team innovation will be discussed from both individual and team levels, which will provide a new perspective for voice-taking research.

Abstract： Job crafting is a situational proactive behavior. Based on existing research findings on job crafting, four research perspectives on the intricate relationships between job crafting and social contexts are systematically summarized (i.e., social contexts as targets of job crafting, social contexts being involved in job crafting, social contexts as antecedents of individual job crafting, social context as moderators of job crafting). In addition, mechanisms underlying effects of social contexts on job crafting, interactions of social contexts and individual characteristics on job crafting, as well as the effectiveness of job crafting in specific contexts are proposed and discussed. Incorporating research on other related constructs and variables, prospects for future research on job crafting embedded in social contexts are proposed, which include examining the influence of job crafting on coworkers, exploring the multiple paths through which team job crafting drives individual job crafting, discovering the internal mechanism underlying the influence of social contexts on job crafting, investigating interactions of social contexts and individual characteristics on job crafting, and testing the effectiveness of job crafting under the Chinese social context.
