摘要：This study investigated the informal networks of white and minority managers. Minority managers had more racially heterogeneous and fewer intimate network relationships. Within the minority group, differences in advancement potential were associated with different network configurations: high-potential individuals balanced same- and cross-race contacts; others had networks dominated by ties to whites. High-potential minorities also had more contacts outside their groups, fewer high-status ties...

摘要：This study examined how the ability to monitor an agent's actions and environmental munificence affect compensation contracts in principal-agent dyads. In a laboratory experiment, we tested predictions based on both assumptions grounded in agency theory and an alternative perspective, In simulated munificent environments, inability to monitor fostered contracts that were contingent on outcomes, and agents received larger relative shares of dyadic earnings, In environments characterized by scar...

摘要：This article reports the results of an ex post study of the effects of leveraged buyouts (LBOs) upon the goals, strategy, structure, and performance of firms. Our study was designed to test arguments that can be logically derived from agency theory. We used a survey to collect data on pre- and post-LBO goals, strategy, structure, and productivity for a sample of 214 firms that underwent buyouts between 1986 and 1989. Our results do not enable us to reject hypotheses based upon agency theory.

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...

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：In an extension of research on organizational socialization, the relationship between previous work experience and the tasks and outcomes of the socialization process was examined using a longitudinal field design. The importance of measuring socialization variables longitudinally, beginning at organizational entry, was highlighted. Implications for future research are discussed.

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...

摘要：The relation of age to pay rates for 197 Hispanic, black, and white nonmanagerial workers of both sexes was examined in two organizations. Disparity between the pay rates of women and minority group members, relative to white men, increased with age when organizational tenure, education, and skills were controlled.

摘要：This study examines the behavioral consequences of ''gainsharing'' using a theoretical framework that includes elements of agency and organizational justice theory. We propose that when gainsharing is used as a collective form of incentive alignment, mutual monitoring among employees is a direct function of procedural and distributive fairness. The hypothesis was supported in a quasi-experimental field study of 221 employees working for two firms, The implications of the study for future exten...

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...
