Multiple regression analyses were used to control for initial health care costs, age, and gender in predicting later costs; independent variables were stress, strain, social support, and their interactions. Main effects and interactions each accounted for significant proportions of the variance in various health care c...

摘要：We situate the Special Research Forum on Organizational Ecology in the program of ecological research on organizations.

We then highlight key issues facing ecological research, outline how the articles in this special research forum are linked by common threads, and discuss their contributions. We close with suggested directions fo...

Auditors in all certification jurisdictions studied and nonauditors in jurisdictions with broadly focused experience requirements postponed resignation until after the c...

摘要：This study tests a central proposition of institutional theory, that organizational isomorphism increases organizational legitimacy. Results show that isomorphism in the strategies of commercial banks is related to legitimacy conferred by bank regulators and the media, even in the presence of organizational age, size, and performance.

摘要：The nature of a firm's risk-taking behavior can significantly affect corporate performance, In an agency context, we examined the influence of equity ownership structure upon corporate risk taking. Results support our premise that the wealth portfolios of corporate insiders may influence firm risk taking, They also support our analysis of entrenchment theory and our presumption that financial and nonfinancial benefits or costs may, at high levels of stock ownership, induce executive decisions ...

Conversely, short-term institutional ownership is negatively associated with it, as is a high ratio of outside directors on a company's board. Outside directors' stack ownership somewhat mitigates the latter negative association. ...

摘要：We examined problems with sustained product innovation in 15 firms that averaged 96 years of age, 54,000 employees, and $9.4 billion in annual revenues. Findings reveal that the inability to connect new products with organizational resources, processes, and strategy thwarted innovation in these large, mature organizations and that innovators lacked the power to make these connections. We suggest that these organizations must reconfigure their systems of power to become capable of sustained inn...
