摘要:In this study, we developed a typology of deviant workplace behaviors using multidimensional scaling techniques. Results suggest that deviant workplace behaviors vary along two dimensions: minor versus serious, and interpersonal versus organizational. On the basis of these two dimensions, employee deviance appears to fall into four distinct categories: production deviance, property deviance, political deviance, and personal aggression. Theoretical and empirical implications are discussed.

摘要:This study explored situations in which current organizational goal priorities require rewards allocation logics that contradict traditional distributive norms and the natural characteristics of resources. Data from Chinese and U.S. business organizations showed that the Chinese employees were economically oriented and preferred to invoke differential rules (those that result in unequal distribution of rewards) for the allocation of both material and socioemotional rewards whereas their U.S. c...

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...

摘要:The construct of change schema is developed and its possible dimensions explained. 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...

摘要:This study examined how small firms differ in their competitive behaviors from their large rivals in an industry and explored the implications of differences for performance. Data on competitive moves and countermoves exchanged by major U.S. airlines supported the predicted differences. The small airlines more actively initiated competitive challenges and were speedy but low-key, even secretive, in executing their actions. They were also less likely and slower to respond when attacked and, con...

摘要:Relief services provided by corporations to employees following a natural disaster were expected to be associated with reduced levels of employee strains. Data from 143 hurricane victims partially supported this prediction, revealing that tangible support meeting employees' primary needs had the most numerous effects over the course of the disaster aftermath.

摘要:This study examined the sequential entry process of Japanese electronic manufacturing firms into the United States during the period 1976-89. The firms first entered their core businesses and those in which they had a strong competitive advantage over local firms to reduce the hazard of failure. Learning from early entries enabled them to launch further entries into noncore businesses and into areas of weaker competitive advantage. The overall evidence suggests that Japanese firms are building...

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...
