| English abstract | An influential body of literature in macro - management research (notably, organization theory and strategic management) associates pr o - social motivation solely with firm-like organizations, suggesting that such motivation cannot thrive under more market-like arrangements. We question this argument on theoretical , as well as empirical, grounds. As to the latter, we discuss the specific case of a network of firms in Brazil , the Genolyptus network. We argue that this particular network manifests strong pro-social motivations. This implies that pro-social motivations may thrive beyond corporate boundaries , contradicting the above argument. More constructively, the case of the Genolyptus network point s to the importance of intensive communication, rewards that are tied to joint outcomes, knowledge-based authority and consensual decision - making as s upport arrangements that can build and sustain pro-social motivations in non-firm governance structures |
