vstack Citations

Every pattern in vstack is anchored in a named OB framework with traceable academic provenance. This file is the citation index.

If you adapt an vstack pattern in your own research, please cite both the underlying OB work AND vstack (see README.md).

Curriculum attribution

The repository's three-module architecture mirrors a standard organizational-behavior curriculum (Individual / Team / Organizational levels of analysis), which is canonical across most major OB textbooks (Robbins & Judge; McShane & Von Glinow). No course-internal materials are redistributed in this repository — only public OB-literature concepts are.
