摘要：Building on previous contingency frameworks, we developed an encompassing contingency model that might explain the inconsistent planning-performance findings reported in previous research. The model was empirically tested using meta analytic data drawn from 26 previously published studies. Results suggest that strategic planning positively influences firm performance and that methods factors are primarily responsible for the inconsistencies reported in the literature. The substantive contingen...

摘要：When a firm's chief executive officer is also the chairperson of its board, directors have opposing objectives. According to organization theory, such CEO duality establishes strong, unambiguous leadership. But according to agency theory, duality promotes CEO entrenchment by reducing board monitoring effectiveness. We developed a contingency framework to resolve these perspectives. Sampling three industries to enhance generalizability, we found that board vigilance was positively associated wi...

摘要：In contrast to prior investigations using between-subjects designs to infer the existence of rigidity in decision behaviors, this research used a within-subject design to directly measure rigidity. We also extended previous examinations by distinguishing between semantic and episodic informational cues. Finally, we used a computer process-tracing technique that allows validity assessments of tests and keeps researcher intrusion to a minimum. Our results, based on data from three different grou...

摘要：In an experiment with 63 recently unemployed professionals, those assigned to write about the thoughts and emotions surrounding their job loss were reemployed more quickly than those who wrote about non-traumatic topics or who did not write at all. Expressive writing appeared to influence individuals' attitudes about their old jobs and about finding new employment rather than their motivation to seek employment.

摘要：Organizational scholars are increasingly conceptualizing organizational responsiveness to institutional pressures as a strategic choice. This research identified a number of important institutional and technical determinants of this critical strategic choice. In particular, five factors that reflect the underlying nature of institutional pressures-cause, constituents, content, control, and context-were considered as forces motivating strategic responsiveness to institutional pressures. These i...

摘要：A heterogeneous group of 371 men and 361 women provided questionnaire data on 23 job reaction and 24 dispositional variables. Analyses revealed 18 significant differences reflecting traditional gender stereotypes. However, almost all the differences disappeared when sex-related differences in perceived job characteristics, age and tenure, level of education, income, and occupational level were controlled. Results are discussed in the context of the small effect sizes typical of sex-of-subject ...

摘要：Drawing on related literature and an inductive pilot study, we propose a conceptual framework for the relationship between job rotation and selected career-related variables. A test on 255 employees showed rotation was predicted by career antecedents, such as tenure and performance, and was related to career outcomes, such as salary and promotion, positive affect, and perceptions of skill acquisition and other career benefits. Rotation may he a proactive way to enhance the career development v...

摘要：This study developed and tested two rival views of how organizational commitment can be reconceptualized to accommodate both global organizational commitment and constituency-specific commitments. In the first view, organizational commitment is just one of many independent commitments; in the second, it is a key mediating construct. Results of structural equations modeling used to test the two competing views indicate that the key mediating construct model best represents the relationships bet...

摘要：This study was a longitudinal investigation of alternative sources of social influence and the role of interpersonal relationships in spreading beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors in an organization following a technological change. Network analysis techniques were used to test the relationships of belief, attitude, and behavior difference matrixes with structural matrixes depicting interaction distance and similarity in patterns of interaction (structural equivalence). The majority of the findi...

摘要：This study developed and tested a conceptual model explaining variability in the organizational structures firms develop to identify, analyze, and respond to their social and political environments. Institutional and resource dependence theories offer plausible explanations for these structural differences; we tested both, finding that those explanations are distinct but complementary. Issues management is both an institutional response and a strategic adaptation to external pressures. But con...
