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：During the 1980s, many diversified firms reduced their diversification by refocusing. This study examined whether this refocusing created market value for the companies involved. It is shown that refocusing announcements are associated with significant, positive abnormal returns, which implies that firm diversification levels prior to refocusing were higher than optimal.

摘要：This study investigated the effects of relative decision monitoring, whereby decisions are compared to those of competitors, on chief executive officer [CEO] compensation. We tested for both cash compensation [salary plus bonus] and cash-plus-stock-option compensation. The study's premise was that, to the extent boards of directors consider behavioral information in the CEO evaluation process, performance should have a stronger influence on pay when CEO decisions differ from typical industry d...

摘要：This study examined changes in union and organizational commitment after the implementation of a joint union-management quality-of-work-life [QWL] program. The results indicated that company commitment increased only when participants perceived the QWL effort as successful, but union commitment increased irrespective of the perception of QWL success.

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 study examined the relationship between strategic context, viewed in terms of product-market variation, work flow integration, and firm size, and executive use of human resource management control systems, including input, behavior, and output controls. Data from executives in 102 firms showed the following: a positive relationship between product-market variation and the use of behavior control, mediated by the presence of managers' knowledge of cause-effect relations and the crystalliza...

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 ...
