摘要:This meta-analysis examines whether differences in the lengths of time elapsed between the measurement of organizational commitment and departure interact with the career stages of employees in moderating the commitment-turnover relationship. For younger employees, the shorter the time separating the measurement of organizational commitment and the occurrence of departure, the stronger the correlations. The findings also show that the commitment measure used strongly affects the magnitude of t...

摘要:Similarities in financial resource allocations across the lines of business of diversified firms may indicate corporate strategic consistency, which may lead to superior corporate performance. In support of this argument, the variance in R&D intensity across the lines of business of 96 diversified firms was found to be inversely related to industry-adjusted return on assets. However, no relationship was found for capital intensity. These results provide partial support for the usefulness of a ...

摘要:A 1990 review of the research on the validity of integrity-honesty tests performed by the U.S. Congress's office of Technology Assessment found no studies conducted by independent researchers in which detected theft was used as the criterion. In the first such study, we found that scores on an honesty test successfully predicted detected theft for a group of convenience store employees. No significant differences on the test emerged as a function of race, gender, or age.

摘要:Effective internal technology transfer the implementation of technical systems developed and disseminated to operational subunits within a single organization-depends not only upon the cost, quality, and compatibility of the technology, but also upon two processes of interaction between developers and users. These are user involvement in development and adaptation by the developers and users of both the technical system itself and the workplace. Analyses of data from 34 projects in four large ...

摘要:Structural equation modeling was used to evaluate the effects of three forms of attitudinal commitment on employee turnover. We used a traditional dichotomous measure of organizational departure but applied the PRELIS technique to resolve statistical problems. A test of eight competing versions of a turnover model using data collected from employees in an aerospace firm indicated that the forms of commitment affected turnover indirectly through a latent variable measuring withdrawal tendencies...

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: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:We examined the concept of archetype, implicit in a number of contemporary approaches to the study of organizational design and change, Despite an emerging interest in archetypes, the concept has received inadequate investigation. The present article offers a basis for definition of the concept and sets down three assumptions, which we tested using data collected longitudinally from 24 organizations. We present a number of theoretical and methodological implications of the archetype approach t...

摘要:This study demonstrates how demography theory can be extended to non-U.S. settings by developing a comprehensive model of factors that vary across nations and that may moderate the link between demographic characteristics and organizational outcomes. We propose that constraints on variation as well as sociocultural and organizational processes moderate the attention people pay to individual differences, thereby influencing demographic effects. In examining the effects of the composition of top...

摘要:According to social constructivist theories of communication technology in organizations, work group members share identifiable patterns of meaning and action concerning communication technology. Empirical evidence of these patterns was found in a study of electronic mail use among a group of scientists and engineers. Social influences on technology-related attitudes and behavior were consistently stronger when individuals were highly attracted to their work groups. for individuals with low at...
