As predicted, significant improvements were observed in the areas of schedule-related interference with personal activities, work-schedule attitudes, general affect, and stress and fatigue. In addition, organizational effectiveness improved, but general work attitudes remained unchanged.

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.

Results indicate the existence of several antecedents to the passage of poison pills. The impact of board leadership on poison pill decisions depends on the proportion of independent directors on a board. Similarly, the impact of chief executive tenure on such decisions depends on the tenures of a firm's indepe...

Variables positively related to countercyclical hiring include human resource planning efforts focused on avoiding personnel shortages, maintaining a regular age distribution among managers, employee development and career planning, company financial performance, and the quality o...

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 study tested 12 hypotheses on the determinants of faculty pay using an agency theory perspective. The sample consisted of 353 professors of management. 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...
