摘要：Prior studies have suggested that ''sunk costs,'' the amount of money already invested in a project, influence resource allocation decisions but have often confounded sunk costs with the degree to which a project is completed. To address this issue, we varied information about both sunk costs and project completion in two experiments. Our results suggest that degree of project completion may dominate any sunk cost effects that are present in resource allocation decisions.

摘要：This study's premise is that negotiation dyads' conceptualization of utility is a key component of their ''cognitive maps,'' or internal representations, that influences the dyads' assumptions and motivation. A linguistic indicator was developed for utility as an objective attribute, utility as a subjective preference, and utility as an interpersonal relationship. An analysis of 79 transcripts from two negotiation studies revealed that dyads whose members conceptualized utility as a subjective...

摘要：The broad applicability of the regression-analog to survival analysis to the study of time-dependent relationships is described and empirically illustrated. Our presentation extends prior work focusing on life table analysis and the ANOVA-analog. In particular, we discuss decisions that researchers should make prior to calculating survival equations, subsequent estimation and interpretation of empirical results, graphical data analysis, and the treatment of time-dependent covariates. Our goal ...

摘要：This research investigated the configurational relationship between executive team context and executive team structure as measured by team demographics. We hypothesized and found that multiple organizational ''clocks,'' each driven by different aspects of an executive team's environment, have distinct effects on inertia and change. The longer the period of stability in a team's environment, the less change in members, the greater the mean tenure, and the greater the homogeneity. Reorientation...

摘要：This article introduces to the organizational sciences a relatively new cross-classification analysis technique based on a statistic called Hilde-brand's del. Del is shown to be superior to the other means available for analyzing cross-classification data for several reasons. Its most notable features are that it allows a researcher to develop and test explicit a priori predictions where other procedures do not, provides a strength-of-association measure, and is independent of sample size. The...

摘要：This study examined how outcome, appeal method, and group membership influenced judgments about procedural and distributive justice made by people who appealed parking violations using a university appeal procedure. It also compared two explanations for the effects of procedural justice. The results support the first explanation, the self-interest model of procedural justice, more than the second, the group-value model, though combining the two models provides the best explanation for some of ...

摘要：Agency theory can be used to explain decisions to continue a failing project, The results of a decision-making experiment provide empirical support for the proposition that when the conditions for adverse selection exist-an agent has private information and an incentive to shirk-such decisions, apparently irrational from a principal's perspective, may be rational from the agent's perspective.

摘要：This study provides insight into the organizational newcomer information-seeking process. Surveys were given to 205 new accountants one, three, and six months into their jobs. Patterns of seeking varied by the type of information being sought. Newcomers sought technical information primarily by asking others and sought other types of information primarily through observation. Further, they sought technical information, information about role demands, and performance feedback mostly from superv...

摘要：Adopting an information-processing perspective and drawing on work in social psychology, this study examined the effects of top management team size and chief executive officer (CEO) dominance on firm performance in different environments. Data from 47 organizations revealed that firms with large teams performed better and firms with dominant CEOs performed worse in a turbulent environment than in a stable one. In addition, the association between team size and CEO dominance, and firm performa...

摘要：Maintaining robust cooperation in interfirm strategic alliances poses special problems. Such relationships have received growing attention in recent research grounded in game theory, which has suggested that some alliance structures are inherently more likely than others to be associated with high opportunity to cheat, high behavioral uncertainty, and poor stability, longevity, and performance. The present study merged these theoretical insights with the logic of transaction cost economics in ...
