Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Dear authors

Thanks for the opportunity to review your work. It covers a very interesting and relevant topic.

The paper is well written and heavily grounded in the existing literature.

My major concern is related to the almost absence of recent references. Even if the foundations of the theory deserve going back to older references, we miss the recent developments. I would then suggest you add more updated references, such as "Power, approach, and inhibition: empirical advances of a theory", 2020 By Minha Cho and Dacher Keltner, published in Current Opinion in Psychology.

Some minor details include: 

  • double-check inconsistencies in terms of the number of companies (3,409 - page 6, vs 2,448 - page 14)
  • clarify what are the 18,705: observations? records? 
  • avoid the statement that Hx "was proven"
  • revise a few references not aligned with the journal formatting style (e.g. Hart, 1983 - page 15)

Good luck!

Reviewer 3 Report

Thanks for the opportunity to read this interesting work.

The theme is original, the introduction clearly defines the scope of the research, the state of the art of the literature and the contribution of the paper.

The theoretical framework is well developed and adequately supports the hypotheses.

The methodology is fine.

Unfortunately the discussion of the results is absolutely underdeveloped and should be strongly deepened in light of the literature cited in the background.
