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：A survey of 317 clerical workers demonstrated that employees differed in what they defined as in-role and extra-role behavior, that these differences were related to commitment and social cues, and that employees were more likely to display organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) if they defined the behavior as in-role father than extra-role. Results indicate that the boundary between in-role and extra-role behavior is not clearly defined and that OCB is a function of how broadly employees d...

摘要：In this study, we examined the relationships among governance structures and corporate bankruptcy. A logistic regression analysis of bankrupt major corporations and a matched group of survivor firms indicated robust power for financial indicators, constituent common stock holdings, board of director quality, and corporate governance structures as predictors of bankruptcy. Specifically, the model indicates differences between the bankrupt and matched groups in proportions of affiliated director...

摘要：The literature on transformational and transactional leadership suggests integrating the leader-member exchange (LMX) approach with research on mentoring. Using LISREL VII confirmatory factor analysis and 183 managerial dyads, we show LMX and mentoring to be empirically distinct from the supervisors' perspective but not from the subordinates'. LMX and mentoring each also accounted for meaningful incremental variance over the other with respect to rated performance, salary progress, and promoti...

摘要：In this study, we analyzed investor reaction to corporate announcements of withdrawal from South Africa to determine whether such announcements increased or reduced firms' market value. We also examined the effect of the timing of the announcements on stock valuation. The announcements were associated with a significant drop in the value of the withdrawing firms' stock, particularly for firms withdrawing earlier in the debate surrounding the issue of withdrawal. These results suggest that mana...

摘要：This study examined the impact of agency risks and task uncertainty on venture capitalist-chief executive officer (VC-CEO) interaction. Results from 51 VC CEO dyads indicate that the frequency of interaction depends on the extent of VC-CEO goal congruence, the degree of the CEO's new venture experience, the venture's stage of development, and the degree of technical innovation it is pursuing. However, contrary to conventional expectations, the degree of management ownership had no impact on th...

摘要：This article reports a comparative case study of four joint ventures between partners from the United States and the People's Republic of China. The bargaining power of potential partners affects the structure of management control in a joint venture, which affects venture performance. Several informal control mechanisms interacting with formal control structure and influencing performance are identified. We also investigated the joint ventures' evolution over time. An integrative model of man...

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：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...
