摘要:This study concerned strategy implementation in multinational organizations. In previous research, subsidiary top managers' perception that their head offices exercised procedural justice positively affected the former's commitment, trust, and outcome satisfaction. Here, we traced the effect of procedural justice beyond attitudes to the behavior of compliance. Results, based on two-stage longitudinal data, suggest that procedural justice enhances subsidiary top managers' compliance directly an...

摘要:This study examined the extent to which the presence of representatives of financial institutions on firms' boards of directors affected borrowing decisions. Through a time-series analysis of 22 large U.S. manufacturing firms from 1956 through 1983, we found that the types of financial institutions represented on firms' boards were associated with the amounts and types of financing the firms obtained.

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: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:This longitudinal study examined the impact that chief executive officer succession had on changes in the structures and strategy-making processes of some large corporations. The results indicate that succession events tended to be followed by a diffusion of authority and, in the context of poor performance, by increased organizational information processing. New leadership was also associated with change, regardless of direction, in most of the dimensions of structure and process assessed.

摘要:The reported research investigated the relative impacts of individual attributes, formal position, and network centrality on the exercise of individual power, measured as involvement in technical and administrative innovations. Centrality was more important for administrative innovation roles, and rank and centrality were indistinguishable in their effects on technical innovation roles. Centrality also appeared to mediate the impact of individual attributes and formal position on administrativ...

摘要:This study employed meta-analytic procedures to evaluate the potential validity of a model of planned organizational change. Hypotheses derived from this model focus on the relationships among planned change interventions and three classes of organizational variables, assessing work settings, individual behavior, and organizational outcomes. The aggregated results of 52 evaluations of planned change interventions were largely consistent with the hypotheses, providing considerable support for t...

摘要:The interaction process and performance of culturally homogeneous and culturally diverse groups were studied for 17 weeks. Initially, homogeneous groups scored higher on both process and performance effectiveness. Over time, both types of group showed improvement on process and performance, and the between-group differences converged. By week 17, there were no differences in process or overall performance, but the heterogeneous groups scored higher on two task measures. Implications for manage...

摘要:This study examined relationships among three methods of leader monitoring, employee perceptions of workplace justice, and employee citizenship behavior. We hypothesized that monitoring would negatively affect citizenship because close control may keep employees from performing duties seen as extra and perhaps not leading to rewards. However, we also hypothesized that monitoring's focus on gathering unbiased information would positively influence employees' perceptions of fairness, which have ...
