摘要：Whether and how organizations choose strategies that address pressures from both their exchange and the institutional environments has recently become a central question in organization theory. We used the National Organizations Study to replicate and extend Goodstein's application of Oliver's framework integrating resource dependence and institutional theories to explain organizational responsiveness to work-family issues. We found that organizations' responsiveness to work-family issues was ...

摘要：This article suggests corporate public affairs activities can be broken down into two types: activities that ''buffer'' from the social and political environment, and activities that ''bridge'' with that environment. Drawing on previous work related to contingency theory, resource dependence, and strategic management, we developed hypotheses concerning conditions under which firms will emphasize buffering, bridging, or both. The hypotheses were tested with data collected from large American fi...

摘要：Exploring the factors that explain the choice of governance structures in interfirm alliances, this study challenges the use of a singular emphasis on transaction costs. Such an approach erroneously treats each transaction as independent and ignores the role of interfirm trust that emerges from repeated alliances between the same partners. Comprehensive multiindustry data on alliances made between 1970 and 1989 support the importance of such trust. Although support emerged for the transaction ...

摘要：This study addressed the nature and functioning of relationships of interpersonal trust among managers and professionals in organizations, the factors influencing trust's development, and the implications of trust for behavior and performance. Theoretical foundations were drawn from the sociological literature on trust and the social-psychological literature on trust in close relationships. An initial test of the proposed theoretical framework was conducted in a field setting with 194 managers...

摘要：This research begins to develop and validate a multidimensional measure of psychological empowerment in the workplace. Second-order confirmatory factor analyses were conducted with two complementary samples to demonstrate the convergent and discriminant validity of four dimensions of empowerment and their contributions to an overall construct of psychological empowerment. Structural equations modeling was used to examine a nomological net-work of psychological empowerment in the workplace. Tes...

摘要：The ability of three different types of self-report variables-biographical, attitudinal, and stress-to predict 70 months of absenteeism data was evaluated. Absence scores were aggregated in two different ways, as annualized segments and as longitudinal data cumulations. Biographical variables and attitudinal measures significantly predicted long-term absenteeism. In addition, results suggested that dependency relationships between absence metrics and cumulation periods may affect validational ...

摘要：It was hypothesized that group-level employee lateness assessed before administration of a survey would account for significant variance in post-survey individual lateness beyond that due to individual-level antecedents such as pre-survey lateness, work attitudes, and work-family conflict. The study samples were 285 bank tellers and 439 hospital employees. Results supported a group-level effect on individual lateness beyond controlled-for individual-level antecedents. Implications and limitati...

摘要：Previous studies of the market value impact of announcements of joint ventures have not considered industry effects. We suggest that the impact of such announcements varies with the information-processing load associated with analyzing events in the relevant industry, An event study analysis based on a stratified sample of 108 announcements in three industry groups, one with a light, one with a moder ate, and one with a heavy information-processing load, confirmed this hypothesis. We examine i...

摘要：The extent of role conflict, role ambiguity, and role overload reported by middle managers from 21 nations was related to national scores on power distance, individualism, uncertainty avoidance, and masculinity. We adapted earlier role stress scales and assessed equivalence using multigroup confirmatory factor analysis. Role stresses varied more by country than by personal and organizational characteristics. Data were aggregated to the national level. Power distance and collectivism were negat...

摘要：Researchers have suggested that environmental regulations may deter the entry of firms into industries, and their assertions imply that an advantage is thereby conferred on incumbent firms. Empirical analysis showed that environmental regulations inhibited new firm entry in a variety of manufacturing industries. Implications for affected firms and future research are discussed.
