摘要：This study examined the interactive influence of performance, the quality of a supervisor-subordinate relationship, and the duration of that relationship on performance ratings. The results suggest that, in both the short run and long run, the performance of employees in high-quality ''leader-member exchange'' relationships is rated high, regardless of their objectively measured performance. The ratings of employees in low-quality exchange relationships are consistent with their objective perf...

摘要：This study investigated the influence of managerial and organizational factors on the extent to which top executives accurately perceive environmental instability and environmental munificence. Environmental scanning and centralization affected perceptions of instability; work history diversity, team tenure, and environmental scanning affected perceptions of munificence. Implications are discussed and ideas about future research avenues are presented.

摘要：The punctuated equilibrium model of organizational transformation has emerged as a prominent theoretical framework for explaining fundamental changes in patterns of organizational activity. To date, however, few aspects of the model have been tested formally. We tested three basic arguments of the model using data on U.S. minicomputer producers. Supportive results showed that (1) a large majority of organizational transformations were accomplished via rapid and discontinuous change over most o...

摘要：This study investigated the relationship between two industry characteristics, technology and growth, and organizational culture. We examined this relationship by comparing the cultures of organizations within and across industries. Using 15 firms representing four industries in the service sector, we found that stable organizational culture dimensions existed and varied more across industries than within them. Specific cultural values were associated with levels of industry technology and gro...

摘要：A model of the determinants of strategic decision-making pace that incorporates the role of individual differences among executive decision makers, organizational structural characteristics, and industry effects is developed. Drawing on data from 151 firms, we found that chief executive officers' cognitive ability, use of intuition, tolerance for risk, and propensity to act associated positively with speedy decisions. Decision pace appeared to be faster in centralized organizations and slower ...

摘要：This article develops and empirically examines a social exchange model of organizational citizenship behavior. An employee's trust in a supervisor is proposed to mediate the relationship between procedural fairness in the supervisor's decision making and employee citizenship. Data from 475 hospital employees and their supervisors were consistent with our model. We discuss future research directions.

摘要：Two failed congressional attempts to control escalating health costs are examined. The data show that investors apparently anticipated their failure. With the implementation of a policy encouraging market competition, however, investors expected larger firms to benefit and firms with previously high profit growth rates to lose. From the viewpoint of the politics of structural choice, it appears that identifiable structural flaws were deliberately designed into both laws in ways that would prom...

摘要：This study tested links between vertical integration, cost structure, and performance at the line-of-business level of analysis. Major findings were (1) Vertical integration results in economies even after industry effects and economies of scope and scale are controlled. Vertically integrated lines of business economized on general and administrative, other selling, advertising, and R&D expenditures but had higher production costs and thus only marginally better profitability than nonintegrate...

摘要：Using a framework based on equity theory, we examined the joint effects of group feedback, individual feedback, and the distribution of feedback in a group on individuals' intentions to persist at a newly introduced behavior in a laboratory study. We proposed and found that the distribution of feedback was critical. Results were inconsistent with widely posited simple reinforcement or learning effects. Equity comparisons' mediation of group and individual performance feedback is reviewed, diff...

摘要：Three studies respectively explored the interactive effects of procedural justice and outcome negativity on the victims of job layoffs, on survivors, and on lame ducks, employees who knew they would soon be laid off. Consistent results emerged for all three types. When procedural justice was perceived to be low, individuals reacted more adversely to the extent that outcomes were perceived to be negative. When individuals felt that procedural justice was relatively high, however, perceived outc...
