In questo articolo esaminiamo il contributo del capitale umano alla performance delle organizzazioni, in presenza di una discontinuità nella gestione manageriale delle stesse (sostituzione di un middle manager). In particolare, prima scomponiamo il contributo del capitale umano nelle sue due componenti principali, i nuovi arrivati e i veterani di un’organizzazione; successivamente, esaminiamo come la presenza di un nuovo middle manager possa influenzare, rispettivamente, il contributo di entrambe le componenti. Per testare le ipotesi della nostra ricerca abbiano condotto uno studio nella Serie A italiana di calcio, tra il 1960 e il 1992
Squadra che vince non si cambia.Il contributo dei nuovi arrivati e dei veterani in presenza di un cambiamento nel management aziendale.

Abstract
of knowledge and human capital resources to performance, and then explore whether and when a middle manager (i.e., coach) replacement affects players’ performance. Our empirical setting is the Italian “Serie A” major league of football between 1960 and 1992. In such setting, we observe that current players’ shared experience positively affect performance, while we found, instead, a curvilinear (U-shaped) relationship between the shared experience of new players and a team’s result; in addition, we observe that a new coach helps overcome the negative effective of the latter on performance, albeit he negatively influences the performance of the former. Succinctly, we find that players do not perform differently only because of the amount of their shared experience; instead, we find that performance depends, also, on whether they are already team-members or, instead, newcomers. Further, our findings show that a coach matters mostly when he has to cope with new players’ integration.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
