摘要:In the context of campus recruiting for organizational positions, this study examined the influences of recruiter behaviors and characteristics and interview focus and structure on applicants' attraction to firms. Recruiters and applicants completed surveys after campus interviews. We measured attraction to the firms as expectancy and valence perceptions. Results indicated that applicant perceptions of recruiter behaviors, especially the interest shown in candidates, had the strongest influenc...

摘要:Using a simulated organizational dispute, we contrasted the behavior of intervening third parties who had formal authority over the disputants to that of third parties who had no authority over them and examined the effect on third-party behavior of actual supervisory experience. The study also tested the relationships among third-party behavior, the outcome of the dispute and disputants' perceptions of fairness. Subjects were M.B.A. candidates and executive program participants; 99 percent ha...

摘要:This research examined cooperation between 136 industrial buyers and suppliers. We identified four domains of potential cooperation: flexibility, information exchange, shared problem solving, and restraint in the use of power. Using an iterated games framework, we predicted that [1] anticipated open-ended future interaction, or extendedness, and [2] frequency of contact will increase the chances that a pattern of cooperative behavior will occur, but [3] performance ambiguity will decrease such...

摘要:It was hypothesized and found that task visibility and intrinsic task involvement would each be negatively associated with social loafing in an ongoing organization. Individuals engaged in social loafing put forth low effort when performing work in groups. Intrinsic involvement was not a significant predictor of social loafing when task visibility was controlled. However, as hypothesized, intrinsic involvement moderated the relationship between task visibility and social loafing in such a way ...

摘要:Reported here are the effects of a naturally occurring field experiment in which an intervention to improve a grievance process was introduced and then removed. The experimental design was an interrupted time series with treatment removal and a no-treatment, nonequivalent control group. Its results-more compromise resolutions and a dramatic increase in the number of grievances filed-may be instructive for those who might consider changing workplace justice processes.

摘要:Mechanisms for the successful adoption of process innovation were investigated. Since firms buy most new technologies for manufacturing operations, it is difficult for them to use these technologies to achieve competitive advantage because it is difficult to protect them from imitation and circumvention. We suggest that successful organizations use four integrating mechanisms of two types to capture the value from process innovations, (1) making process innovation a unique occasion for signifi...

摘要:This study examined the relationship between integrated manufacturing, defined as the use of advanced manufacturing technology (AMT), just-in-time inventory control (JIT), and total quality management (TQ), and human resource management from a human capital perspective. Data from managers and nonmanagers showed several direct and interactive effects. AMT was positively related to selective staffing, comprehensive training, developmental appraisal, and externally equitable rewards for operation...

摘要:Competitive moves that are unchallenged or to which response is delayed are important weapons in a strategist's arsenal, so variables that discourage or delay response are of great interest. Using a game theoretic framework, this study investigated the effects on dimensions of competitive response of competitor dependence on a market under attack and the irreversibility of an aggressor's move. The hypothesized relationships were tested with data on competitive moves by U.S. airlines. The resul...

摘要:The research reported used a longitudinal analysis to compare the displacement experience of managers with that of other employees and to examine the factors associated with managerial job loss. Job displacement occurs when employees are permanently separated from their employer when their job disappears. After controlling for individual and industry characteristics, I found that during the mid-1980s managers were actually more vulnerable to displacement than were other employees, suffering pr...

摘要:Researchers have recommended that the theoretical constructs underlying just-in-time (JIT) management systems be identified and developed if JIT is to be fully understood and its full capabilities realized. In this study, we advanced this conceptual development through an instrument based on the relevant literature and empirically deriving three underlying constructs: (1) operating structure and control, (2) product scheduling, and (3) quality implementation. We report a content analysis of th...
