摘要:In this study, we tested a two-dimensional model of organizational commitment and theoretically relevant outcomes based on the motivational distinction proposed by March and Simon (1958) between employees' decisions to participate and to produce. We conducted a longitudinal field study involving 288 employees of a financial services organization. Confirmatory factor analyses support the proposed distinction. Commitment leading to participation was called continuance commitment, and that leadin...

Case characteristics that were related to the courts' decisions were the severity of the behavior involved, the presence of witnesses and documents, whether complainants had notified their companies of the harassment before filing charges, and whether the organizations had taken action. We compared findings to the results of a previous study involving harassment ch...

We examined the antecedents and effects of board involvement from both the institutional and strategic choice perspectives. Data obtained from personal interviews with 114 board members and archival records indicated that board size and levels of diversification and insider representation were negative...

摘要:Two concurrent experiments were conducted with groups of varying size; there were 2-, 4-, and 6-person groups in one and 6- and 12-person groups in the other. We compared the number and quality of unique ideas generated by groups of each size using electronic and nonelectronic, verbal brainstorming. Groups used both techniques in a counterbalanced within-group design. The larger groups in both experiments generated more unique ideas and more high-quality ideas, and members were more satisfied ...

摘要:Empirical findings have indicated that gender-based discrimination is manifested during the assignment of workers to organizational positions. Since the position occupied has a major effect on a worker's salary, discriminatory processes in assigning positions should be incorporated into a salary discrimination model. Organizational variables were more important than individual variables in explaining both legitimate salary differentials between the men and women studied and gender-based salary...

Data were collected from survey responses, curricula vitae, and the Social Science Citation Index. Results show that the primary determinants of faculty pay, in both institutions that grant doctorates and those that do not, are the number of top-tier journal publications a faculty member has authored and changes in institutional affiliatio...
