摘要：This article links institutional and impression management perspectives in a process model of how controversial and possibly unlawful actions of members of organizations can lead to endorsement and support from key constituencies. This model is grounded in interview, archival, and observational data concerning eight illegitimate actions attributed to members of two social movement organizations. We found that institutional conformity and decoupling illegitimate activities from legitimate struc...

摘要：This research examined differences in perceptions and attitudes regarding work, the union, and preferences for decision-making structures among three groups: participants and nonparticipants in an employee involvement program, and employees who had volunteered for the program but had not yet had the opportunity to participate. Results indicated that the volunteers generally had the most positive attitudes toward their work and union; participants showed the greatest disparity between their per...

摘要：Empirical studies have found an association between vertical integration and low risk. However, other work has suggested that a complex pattern of vertical integration reduces ability to adapt to environmental turbulence and hence increases risk. This study examined the relationship between vertical integration and risk to shareholders (systematic risk) and creditors (bankruptcy risk) in the forest products industry. The results indicate that fully integrated firms have higher systematic and b...

摘要：Organizations face an increasingly litigious environment. We examined responses to one class of legal threats: liability stemming from employees' on-the-job exposure to hazardous materials. We empirically investigated the impact of such exposure on the vertical integration of firms and on the percentage change in the number of small firms in an industry. In the face of legal exposure, firms are more likely to adopt a nonvertically integrated production system, and small firm production in an i...

摘要：The field study reported here explored the relationship between the job insecurity associated with a layoff and the work effort of employees who survived it. The relationship took the form of an inverted U, particularly among survivors whose economic need to work was relatively high. Theoretical implications are discussed, as are the limitations of the study and suggestions for future research.

摘要：This longitudinal study of a national sample examined the effects of workers' gender and race on their entrance into managerial positions in public and private organizations over a period of four years. Results suggested that black workers had promotion advantages in both sectors and that women had promotion advantages in the private sector.

摘要：Distributive justice was found to be a more important predictor of two personal outcomes, pay satisfaction and job satisfaction, than procedural justice, whereas the reverse was true for two organizational outcomes-organizational commitment and subordinate's evaluation of supervisor. However, procedural and distributive justice also interacted in predicting organizational outcomes. We discuss limitations of this study and directions for future research.

摘要：Predictions based on the human capital, gender discrimination, and social identity theories were tested. Individuals with salient career identities were willing to expend extra effort at work and received higher merit increases than people with salient family identities. When we controlled identity salience, neither extensive family responsibilities nor female gender adversely affected merit increases. Family-oriented women with preschoolers received higher merit increases than family-oriented...

摘要：This research hypothesized that two social context conditions influence group members' evaluations of peer reporting of unethical behavior and their own inclination to report peers: the misconduct threatens the interests of group members and peer reporting is defined as a role responsibility of group members. Two scenario studies provided mixed support for the hypotheses, results differing in the two hypothetical settings. In both studies, however, when subjects perceived a peer reporter as hi...

摘要：A model of individual and situational influences on individuals' training-related motivation and training effectiveness based on valence-instrumentality-expectancy theory was developed. A training program designed to improve proofreading skills was tested with 106 university employees. The findings supported the hypothesized relationship between learning and performance. Further, a hypothesized moderated relationship between training motivation and reactions, as related to learning, was suppor...
