摘要：One of the most interesting potential contributions of culture research lies at the intersection of the study of culture and the study of power. At this intersection lies a process of communication in which interested actors present particular understandings of the world in the hope of creating of sustaining preferred patterns of social relations. In this process, group and individuals struggle to create and disseminate cultural forms that support preferred patterns of power and dominance. Thi...

摘要：We tested the job demands-job control model of stress with a group of 136 registered nurses. Significant interactions between subjective and objective measures of work load and a measure of perceived control predicting physiological and attitudinal outcomes indicated support for the model. In addition, objectively assessed job demands were significantly associated with blood pressure and cortisol levels. The model also predicted elevations in physiological responses after individuals left work...

摘要：This research examined perceptions of ethics on the premise that such perceptions have important implications for ethical behavior in organizations. Various raters assessed managers' ethics; subordinates and peers provided the least favorable assessments, which were directly related to perceptions of leadership but inversely related (for ratings by subordinates) to salary data. Implications for fostering ethical behavior in organizations are discussed.

摘要：This study examined the performance effects of information asymmetry and economies of scope in diversified service firms. Tests using both accounting- and stock-market-based measures of performance revealed that information asymmetry improved performance more than economies of scope. As hypothesized, the benefits of information asymmetry were greater for firms offering services whose quality cannot be determined until after their purchase (experience services), and the benefits of economies of...

摘要：This study investigated differences in the psychological involvement and task assignments of labor-contractor and employee engineers and the effects of the contractors on the attitudes of their employee coworkers. Findings partly supported the hypothesis that supervisors shift interdependent tasks to employees when contractors are present in their work groups. However, employees were not found to have greater quasi-moral involvement than contractors. In addition, the presence of contractor co-...

摘要：The number of ''traditional'' families, those with an employed father and a not-employed mother, has been decreasing. This article presents an expanded typology of family structure that includes spousal employment status. The effects on managerial career paths of a ''post-traditional'' family structure, in which both parents are employed, is explored. The results from a survey of M.B.A. degree holders show such a family structure to be related to income and career satisfaction for men and wome...

摘要：This study explored the relationships between potential organizational power, viewed as structural position, and the use of power through behavioral tactics. Results indicate that structural position, measured as an individual's network centrality and level in the organizational hierarchy, and behavior-use of assertiveness, ingratiation, exchange, upward appeal, rationality, and coalition formation-relate independently and significantly to others' perceptions of the individual's power. In addi...

摘要：Although traditional adaptive theory implies that poor organizational performance will directly increase the likelihood that an outsider will be selected to succeed a firm's chief executive, we develop theory to suggest that sociopolitical forces, such as the presence or absence of an heir apparent and the incumbent's ability to influence the selection decision, will decouple the performance-selection relationship. We predict that poor performance will lead to outsider selection only when soci...

摘要：Data envelopment analysis shows promise for generating objective estimates of pay equity. Applied to performance and salary data for 433 professional baseball players, data envelopment analysis identified objectively underpaid, equitably paid, and overpaid players. The output also identified relevant referents for each player and quantified the relative influences of referents and all variables.
