Status in organizational literature: A JOM review

From my limited knowledge, the recent paper by Piazza and Castellucci (2014) is one of the few articles that reviews the phenomenon of status as it appears in the organizational literature. The authors have reviewed the extant literature (from 1993 to 2012) on the status at the macro, meso and micro levels. The review also classifies the literature based on how the scholars see the role the status in organizations - signal, intangible asset or mobile resource.
