摘要:Using a laboratory design, we examined the simple and interactive effects of monitoring and incentive alignment on managerial decisions. Length of term in office was a third independent variable. Results show that incentive alignment was a more powerful mechanism than monitoring for ensuring that agents acted in the interests of owners, An interaction of monitoring, incentive alignment, and term in office revealed that these effects are relatively complicated and deserve further study, Also, i...

摘要:Drawing on the resource-based view of the firm, we posited that environmental performance and economic performance are positively linked and that industry growth moderates the relationship, with the returns to environmental performance higher ire high-growth industries, We tested these hypotheses with an analysis of 243 firms over two years, using independently developed environmental, ratings. Results indicate that ''it pays to he green'' and that this relationship strengthens with industry g...

摘要:Drawing on propositions from social identity theory and signaling theory, we hypothesized that firms' corporate social performance (CSP) is related positively to their reputations and to their attractiveness as employers. Results indicate that independent ratings of CSP are related to firms' reputations and attractiveness as employers, suggesting that a firm's CSP may provide a competitive advantage in attracting applicants. Such results add to the growing literature suggesting that CSP map pr...

摘要:In two studies, 264 male and female managers reviewed information about the job performance of a person portrayed as either a man or a woman and, if a woman, as either an affirmative action hire or not. As expected, subjects rated female affirmative action hires as less competent and recommended smaller salary increases for them than for men and women not associated with affirmative action. This pattern held even when disconfirming performance information was provided if that information was a...

摘要:Results of a systematic replication of studies by Dearborn and Simon and by Walsh suggest that differences in their conclusions resulted from differences in their experimental procedures, Managers are broader perceivers when they are encouraged to identify more problems. Also, contrary to Walsh's and others' theories, in this replication belief structure did not mediate the relationship between functional experience and selective perception. In addition, predominantly negative relationships we...

摘要:We examined the use of event studies in management research and found that there was inadequate attention paid to theoretical and research design issues, This lack of attention may lead to false inferences regarding the significance of the events and the validity of the theories being tested, To illustrate the extent of this problem, we attempted to replicate three recent studies, To guide authors and reviewers, we outline procedures for appropriate use of the event study method.

摘要:Interorganizational links-cooperative relationships among distinct but related organizations-are believed to enhance innovative processes in organizations. We conceptualize various types of interorganizational links as opportunities for learning and resource sharing in the pursuit of innovation, A study of over 400 California hospitals over ten years found considerable support for the relationship between interorganizational links and innovation, Structural, institutional, and resource-based l...

摘要:Five employee management rhetorics have swept U.S. managerial discourse over the last century: welfare work, scientific management, human relations and personnel management, systems rationalism, and organization culture and quality, I tested two competing theses: the performance-gap thesis, according to which the popularity of rhetorics that promise to narrow organizational performance gaps fluctuates with the magnitude of these gaps across organizations, and the pendulum thesis, according to ...

摘要:This study identifies job self-efficacy as a moderating variable that map determine whether job control contributes positively or negative to coping with work stressors. Data from two samples (health professionals and an occupationally diverse group) demonstrated similar interactions between demands, control, and self-efficacy predicting blood pressure, These results may reconcile the previous inconsistent and largely method-bound support for Karasek's job demands-control model and suggest tha...
