摘要：This study examined whether female directors lack the necessary experience-based characteristics for board committee membership, or whether there is a systematic sex-based bias against them. We tested predictors of the odds of membership on certain board committees for male and female directors and found evidence of sex-based bias in Fortune 300 firms after controlling for directors' experience-based characteristics. Men were preferred for membership in compensation, executive, and finance com...

摘要：Using an empirical taxonomy identifying two types of human resource systems, ''control'' and ''commitment,'' this study tested the strategic human resource proposition that specific combinations of policies and practices are useful in predicting differences in performance and turnover across steel ''minimills.'' The mills with commitment systems had higher productivity, lower scrap rates, and lower employee turnover than those with control systems. In addition, human resource system moderated ...

摘要：In an exploratory longitudinal study of business school alumni, we investigated changes in employment obligations as perceived by employees. During the first two years of employment, employees came to perceive that they awed less to their employers while seeing their employers as owing them more. An employer's failure to fulfill its commitments was found to be significantly associated with decline in some types of employee obligations. We discuss implications for managing employees' beliefs re...

摘要：To explore if, when, and how intentionally corporate officers conceal negative organizational outcomes from shareholders, we used computer-assisted content analysis of over 1,000 president's letters contained in annual reports to shareholders. Results suggest that outside directors, large institutional investors, and accountants limit such concealment, but small institutional investors and outside directors who are shareholders prompt it. Low disclosure is associated with subsequent selling of...

摘要：This study reexamined the critical relationship between performance and voluntary turnover. A meta-analysis based on 55 studies and a total sample size of 15,138 supported these conclusions: the negative relationship between performance and turnover is robust and unaffected by unemployment rates and the length of time between measurements of the two variables. The negative performance-turnover relationship was stronger in organizations using performance-contingent rewards, and support was foun...

摘要：Leading management scholars have called for the use of nonstandard research to help solve complex problems that are not tractable with standard approaches. This article demonstrates the use of multivariate catastrophe model estimation as a partial answer to that call. The approach makes catastrophe theory more useful for researching certain problematic phenomena. Furthermore, it prevents problems with the difference regression technique used in the past. We use a small application taken from t...

摘要：It is widely held that diversification lowers a firm's unsystematic (business-specific) risk but does not affect its systematic (systemwide) risk. We tested each notion while controlling for other factors that influence risk. The findings show that the relationship between corporate diversification and both forms of stock return risk generates a U-shaped graph. Thus, an important way for corporations to minimize risk is to diversify into similar businesses rather than into identical or very di...

摘要：Although a ''glass ceiling'' is said to keep women from the top management levels of organizations, no research has investigated actual decisions about promotions to such positions. This study examined promotion decisions for U.S. federal government Senior Executive Service positions in a cabinet-level department. Contrary to hypotheses, the job-irrelevant variable of gender worked to women's advantage, both directly and indirectly, through job relevant variables. However, an applicant's emplo...

摘要：The effects of sex and gender role on self- and group perceptions of leader emergence were examined. Though women were slightly more likely to emerge as leaders than men, gender role had a stronger effect on emergent leadership than sex. Specifically, androgynous and masculine subjects were the most likely to emerge as leaders.

摘要：A field study of 84 registered nurses and their supervisors revealed that leaders' perceptions of leader-follower attitudinal similarity and follower extraversion were positively related to the quality of leader-follower exchanges. Neither followers' locus of control nor growth need strength was found to be significantly correlated with the quality of the exchange between leaders and followers.
