Multilevel Theory Building: Benefits, Barriers, and New Developments
Abstract
The article focuses on benefits, recent developments, and barriers to multilevel theory building. It states that multilevel theories span levels of organizational behavior and foster synthesis within the organizational sciences. It mentions that multilevel theories help identify characteristics, attitudes, perceptions, and behaviors that help shape the organization. It states that some barriers to multilevel theories include conflicting interests, heuristics, and scope. It mentions that a sensemaking perspective can be used to explore creativity when analyzing several levels, including the inter- and intrasubjective levels as well as the collective level.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
