摘要：This study examined the contribution of two concepts to the conventional view of commitment: foci of commitment, the individuals and groups to whom an employee is attached, and bases of commitment, the motives engendering attachment. Commitment to top management, supervisor, and work group were important determinants of job satisfaction, intent to quit, and prosocial organizational behaviors over and above commitment to an organization. Compliance, identification, and internalization as bases ...

摘要：Patterns of employees' participation in a number of specific decisions were studied in 101 Oregon nursing homes. The inquiry concerned whether such patterns vary according to the contextual properties of facility size, skill level, and profit-making orientation. Although interaction effects varied, main-effect results were strong.

摘要：This study of 321 American managers on international assignment in Pacific Rim or European countries assessed theoretically and empirically the extent to which various personal, job, organizational, and nonjob factors accounted for commitment to their parent companies and foreign operations. Regression analyses found both common and unique antecedent variables related to each target of organizational commitment; furthermore, discriminant analysis revealed patterns of dual and unilateral commit...

摘要：This study examined the relationship between the demography of top management teams and corporate strategic change, measured as absolute change in diversification level, within a sample of Fortune 500 companies. Controlling for prior firm performance, organizational size, top team size, and industry structure, we found that the firms most likely to undergo changes in corporate strategy had top management teams characterized by lower average age, shorter organizational tenure, higher team tenur...

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：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：This study's argument is that a firm's diversification posture determines the degree of integration it needs across business units, which in turn influences the ideal composition of its corporate top management team. Archival data from 134 firms revealed that the degree of social cohesion and type of knowledge base within a firm's top management team were related to the degree of interdependence the firm's diversification posture demanded. Contrary to our hypotheses, experience in core functio...

摘要：In this study, we propose that changes affecting the resource fit between organizations exchanging resources provide an impetus for the dissolution of their relationships, whereas the individual and structural attachments that develop between exchange partners over time counter those pressures for change. The empirical analysis examined the severance of auditor-client relationships using a case-control design. Change in clients' resource needs increased the likelihood of their switching audito...

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：This study examined the influence of nine case characteristics on the outcomes of federal court cases involving sexual harassment. 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...
