摘要:Downsizing disrupts existing social networks in organizations. Layoff survivors' reactions to losses of both friends and coworkers in similar structural positions (structural equivalents) are examined here. A field study conducted in a consumer electronics firm revealed negative reactions to the loss of friends and positive reactions to the loss of coworkers in similar structural positions. The loss of friends weakened survivors' network centrality, but the loss of structural equivalents benef...

摘要:Though key to fostering innovation, interpersonal exchanges of resources between R&D scientists across organizational boundaries can represent intellectual capital leaks. A grounded theoretical framework is developed for individual exchange decisions. Social capital emerges as the key success factor in this resources acquisition process. Strategic resources can only be exchanged under conditions of acquaintance and mutual trust. The economic interests of a scientist's employing firm and person...

摘要:The attitudinal and behavioral effects of being promoted and being rejected for promotion were examined in a quasi experiment conducted at an international bank in Hong Kong. Promoted tellers who had more internal locuses of control (LOC) maintained improved attitudes across 3- and 18-month posttest intervals. Attitudes returned to baseline levels by the second posttest among externaI-LOC individuals who had been promoted. There was no change in attitudes among people passed over for promotion...

摘要:Given differences in values about work and family time, we hypothesize that Americans will experience greater family demand, which will have greater impact on work-family conflict, whereas the Chinese will experience greater work demand, which will have the greater impact on work-family conflict. The results of a survey of working men and women in the two countries generally supported the hypotheses; however, work demand did not differ significantly between the two countries and did not have a...

摘要:We used an experimental vignette to examine how two aspects of a decision explanation's packaging-its language and labeling of the decision process-affected perceptions of a decision maker's competency-based trustworthiness. These perceptions were higher when either easy-to-understand language or a legitimating decision process label was present than when both hard-to-understand language and no decision process label were present. These findings suggest that peripheral cues related to decision...

摘要:We examined the role of the quality of reemployment in the process of coping with job loss using a panel design and a four-month interval for 100 displaced workers. The dynamic process of coping with jab loss changed between the anticipatory and outcome stages. The quality of reemployment played a key role, interacting with time in such a way that satisfactorily reemployed workers experienced reduced economic discrepancies and replenished coping resources. The dissatisfactorily reemployed and ...

摘要:In the prevalent rationalistic approaches, human competence at work is seen as constituted by a specific set of attributes, such as the knowledge and skills used in performing particular work. As an alternative to the rationalistic approaches, an interpretative approach, phenomenography, is proposed and explored here. Findings suggest that the meaning work takes on for workers in their experience of it, rather than a specific set of attributes, constitutes competence. More specifically, the re...

摘要:Focusing on hybrid team culture within transnational teams as a facilitator of group interaction, we hypothesized a curvilinear relationship between team heterogeneity on nationality and effective performance. Through a qualitative field study, we developed a mediation model of the effects of transnational team dynamics. Two confirmatory laboratory studies followed. The hypothesized curvilinear relationship was confirmed, with homogeneous and highly heterogeneous teams outperforming moderately...
