摘要：Research has identified rating leniency as one of the most troublesome of rating errors. Little is known about the extent to which the error is a stable rater tendency, although Guilford hypothesized such stability in 1954. We investigated the stability of rater leniency in three actual appraisal situations. Leniency was found to be a relatively stable response tendency across the three studies. The findings suggest that leniency might be predicted using measures of individual differences.

摘要：This study explored the communication strategies junior colleagues use to preserve stable mentoring and nonmentoring relationships with their supervisors. Data collected from 259 managerial and technical/professional employees suggest informally mentored subordinates use a distinctive pattern of upward maintenance tactics with their supervisors. Interestingly, few differences among formal supervisory proteges, nonsupervisory proteges, and nonproteges emerged. Implications for mentorship theory...

摘要：This study examined the relationships among strategy, human resources, and performance among National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) basketball teams. Results based on survey data and a widely used performance rating indicated that coaches' preferred strategies influence the characteristics that they look for in recruits. Also, teams implementing a strategy different from a coach's preferred strategy performed less well than those implementing the preferred strategy. Finally, human res...

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：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 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：Many studies have found that groups that interact by computer-mediated communication (CMC) technologies are less prone to domination by high-status members than are face-to face groups. We report here the results of three experiments designed to investigate participation and influence equality in mixed-status groups. Status differences persisted in both face-to-face and electronic groups. We suggest that status labels and impressions based on them have a larger impact on participation and infl...

摘要：Using computer-aided content analysis, we assessed the strength of nine values-authority performance, reward, normative, commitment, participation, leadership, teamwork, and affiliation-in 88 large Australian organizations. Cluster analysis was used to categorize each organization as having one of four value structures: elite, leadership, meritocratic, or collegial. Organizations classified as having different value structures differed in a theoretically consistent way in how their members des...
