摘要：We investigated the effects of a company's success with using an existing information technology (IT) on its managers' strategic issue interpretations of new information technologies in their industry. We found that success with an existing IT resulted in a positive bias in managers' interpretations of new ITs. This bias was stronger among managers who had greater amounts of experience with the existing technology and among managers whose companies did not: engage in proactive information seek...

摘要：A large but dated literature indicates that academia does not reward individuals for contributions to science, instead applying sponsored mobility norms, whereby individuals are rewarded when they are sponsored by established academics. The reported study examined whether contemporary universities' hiring decisions are better described by tournament or sponsored mobility. Departing from the findings of past research, our longitudinal data indicated that management departments currently employ ...

摘要：Examining the association between managerial assessments of risk and expected return using nonexperimental data from specific commercial lending decisions, we found that risk-return associations depended on the measures used. However, with a return measure that accounted for the expected costs of riskier decisions, risk and return were negatively related. We also found evidence of conservatism in managers' adjusting to new information regarding the riskiness of decisions. The study points towa...

摘要：Skarlicki and Folger (1997) found that distributive, procedural, and interactional justice interacted to predict workplace retaliation. In this follow-up and extension of that study, we investigated whether a person-by-situation interaction explained variance in workplace retaliation beyond what could be attributed to fairness perceptions alone. Negative affectivity and agreeableness were found to moderate the relationship between fairness perceptions and retaliation.

摘要：This study examined the work environment for creativity at a large high-technology firm before, during, and after a major downsizing. Creativity and most creativity-supporting aspects of the perceived work environment declined significantly during the downsizing but: increased modestly later; the opposite pattern was observed for creativity-undermining aspects. Stimulants and obstacles to creativity in the work environment mediated the effects of downsizing. These results suggest ways in which...

摘要：In this study, we investigated a neglected form of extrarole behavior called taking charge and sought to understand factors that motivate employees to engage in this activity. Taking charge is discretionary behavior intended to effect organizationally functional change. We obtained both self-report and coworker data for 275 white-collar employees from different organizations. Taking charge, as reported by coworkers, related to felt responsibility, self-efficacy, and perceptions of top manageme...

摘要：In this study, routine task responsibilities and professional organization memberships had positive effects on the professional commitment of medical technologists in the first four years of their careers, but advanced professional research activities had a negative effect. I obtained these results after controlling for a set of initial attitude, personal background, organizational context, and professional socialization variables.

摘要：Management of the natural environment is becoming an increasingly important issue to manufacturing firms, yet their managers are also challenged to implement changes that improve competitiveness. To meet this challenge, a new construct grounded in the resource-based view of the firm and manufacturing strategy has been developed: the environmental technology portfolio. The composition of a plant's portfolio-the pattern of its investment in environmental technologies in manufacturing over time-w...

摘要：This study investigated the conditions under which employees are more or less likely to become targets of coworkers' aggressive actions. Results from a field survey showed people high in negative affectivity more often perceived themselves as victims, as did people who were low in the self-determination component of empowerment. In addition, hierarchical status appeared to buffer the influence of negative affectivity: Negative affectivity was not related to indirect victimization for higher-st...
