摘要：People frame and make sense of their worlds through the use of cognitive categories, which researchers can only indirectly access. Public corporate statements are easily accessible and comparable across companies and over time, but it is unclear to what extent such statements reflect organization members' cognitive categorizations. This study is the first to directly compare executives' public and private statements to explore whether and along what dimensions public statements reflect interna...

Using data from two samples and both quantitative and qualitative methods, we found that locus of control and organizational commitment were related to specific dimensions of the construct. Dogmatism was not related in the specific manner hypothesized. Further, the hypothesized role of change schema as a mediator between these individual differences, general attitude toward change, and attitudes toward specific ...

摘要：This study addressed the question of whether firms in a competitive, globally integrated environment face a ''liability of foreignness'' and to what extent either importing home-country organizational capabilities or copying the practices of successful local firms can help them overcome this liability. Predictions were tested with a paired sample of 24 foreign exchange trading rooms of major Western and Japanese banks in New York and Tokyo. Results support the existence of a liability of forei...

Recent demographic changes in the United States have increased the potential importance of ''eldercare'' benefits in the workplace. In this research, I elaborate a number of important organizational and environmental determinants that influence the recognition and interpretation of eldercare issues and relate these considerations to the level of employer involvement in the care of elderly dependents...

Health and safety risks are associated with multifaceted subjective interpretations different from those associated with other elements of the work environment and more directly influential on work attitudes and behavior than actual risk. This article conceptually and operationally defines these interpretations and evidences the influence of chronic risk exposure on job satisfaction, s...

摘要：Chief executives in one national and three regional samples participated in a study of the content and structure of their organizational visions. Executives clustered in three groups distinguished by differing orientations to derived factors. Cluster membership was found to be related to the rapidity of firm change, the amount of control the executives exercised over firms, and other variables. Vision showed a multifaceted structure, with factors for vision formulation, implementation, and inn...

We measured impression management behavior, liking, and similarity six weeks after the establishment of supervisor-subordinate dyads and measured performance ratings after six months. Results indicated support for the overall model and several specified relationships. Additionally, impression management behavior ha...

摘要：In response to the increasingly rapid occurrence of skill obsolescence, governments are exploring programs to provide incentives for worker training. Net present value analysis was used to assess the benefits of subsidized computer training for semiskilled officer workers in Canada. Results suggest that government sponsorship yielded positive returns for taxpayers and firms, provided training was general and not firm-specific. High turnover made firm-specific training unattractive, A combinati...

摘要：We examined the impact on the market value of firms' stock of announcements about RandD projects made in the innovation and commercialization stages of the RandD process. Technology- and market-related variables were tested as predictors of the wealth impact of RandD announcements. Our analysis indicates that the stage of the R&D process moderates the relationship between the wealth effects and technology and market variables. The former are more important than market variables in the innovati...

摘要：This study analyzes the compensation strategy of firms. We examined differences in the pay and incentives of lower-level managers in firms with different levels of management discretion. We found that firms with higher managerial discretion paid compensation premiums through higher salaries, greater bonuses, and more long-term incentives; however, changes in pay were not related to changes in performance, and high-discretion firms did not perform better than other types of firms.
