摘要：This study examined relationships among job scope, perceived fit between job demands and ability, and stress. Data on scope and stress were provided by 418 full-time employees. Ratings of job complexity from the Dictionary of Occupational Titles (DOT) and the Occupational Prestige Index (OF) also measured job scope. All three job scope measures had a U-shaped curvilinear relationship with emotional exhaustion. Anxiety had a negative association with incumbent-reported job scope but none with t...

摘要：A model incorporating antecedents and outcomes of measures of manager-rated employee affective and continuance commitment was tested with 231 managers and 339 subordinates. Organizational citizenship behavior predicted manager-rated affective commitment, whereas side bets (age, tenure, and education) predicted manager-rated continuance commitment. Further, affective commitment was positively and continuance commitment negatively related to a variety of outcomes, including managerial potential ...

摘要：We propose that the use of total quality management (TQM) practices will improve just-in-time (JIT) performance through process variance reduction and reduced rework time and that JIT practices will improve quality performance through problem exposure and improved process feedback. Using data on 42 plants in three U.S. industries, we found that common infrastructure practices formed a strong foundation for both types of performance; in addition, we demonstrated that TQM and JIT practices inter...

摘要：This study's basic argument is that the level of a firm's international interdependence influences the pattern of CEO characteristics ideal for enabling a CEO to contribute to firm performance. In data from 74 CEOs and their firms, the influence of locus of control, information evaluation style, and international experience on firm performance varied with interdependence. A marketing management specialization hindered performance in a high international interdependence context and helped it in...

摘要：My purpose is to theorize Walt Disney enterprises as a storytelling organization in which an active-reactive interplay of premodern, modern, and postmodern discourses occurs. A postmodern analysis of these multiple discourses reveals the marginalized voices and excluded stories of a darker side of the Disney legend, Tamara, a play that is also a discursive metaphor, is used to demonstrate a plurivocal (multiple story interpretation) theory of competing organizational discourses, Subsequent sec...

摘要：This study's premise is that job stressors that threaten an employee's reputation with his or her supervisor are particularly likely to generate anxiety symptoms that carry over from work to home. Thirty-six raters, primarily working accountants, identified job stressors as high or low on threat to reputation. Independently, 102 accountants rated their own exposure to these stressors and their anxiety at work and home. As predicted, the high-threat stressors were the most likely to generate ho...

摘要：This research measured Nicholson and John's concept of the salience of absence climate in terms of absence standards for supervisory groups. Within and between analysis (WABA) was used to determine whether these standards showed group-level effects on absence behavior. With gender controlled, supervisory groups that had perceptions of high external management standards for absence and high internal personal standards also had low levels of absence. Furthermore, the internal personal standards ...

摘要：This study examined variation in the relationships among constructs affecting the perceptions of safety of workers at the U.S., French, and Argentine plants of the same division of a U.S. multinational, all affected by the same corporation-wide safety policy. We proposed differences based on the profiles of the three countries on three cultural dimensions-individualism/collectivism, authoritarian or paternalistic management style, and autocratic or participative decision making-and compared th...

摘要：Recent media choice research has focused on attempts to determine what theory best explains people's choices of communication media. Two within-subject policy-capturing studies support the notion that media richness and social influence theories are complementary rather than competing and that the relative importance of choice factors depends on the medium. A comparison of policy-capturing and survey findings points to policy capturing as a useful research methodology. Results also suggest tha...

摘要：This study comprehensively evaluated the links between systems of High Performance Work Practices and firm performance. Results based on a national sample of nearly one thousand firms indicate that these practices have an economically and statistically significant impact on both intermediate employee outcomes (turnover and productivity) and short- and long-term measures of corporate financial performance, Support for predictions that the impact of High Performance Work Practices on firm perfor...
