摘要:We articulate a dynamic theory of media adaptation in dyadic influence. We identify key underlying attributes of media and discuss how individuals enact and regulate these features to use media adoptively within influence situations. Our model and propositions account for (1) the ways that attributes of communication media affect how influence-seeking behavior is generated and perceived and (2) the strategic adaptations of media that parties to organization-based influence attempts make.

Researchers have implicitly assumed transformational leadership approaches to organizational learning. We challenge this conventional wisdom by highlighting th...

摘要:Relational demography researchers have constructed models based on social identity theory and self-categorization theory, without fully incorporating their theoretical and empirical richness. We I rectify this omission by constructing a model that includes key concepts from these theories and that predicts whether employees will identify with a particular demographic category or with their workgroup. or both. Propositions derived examine whether demographic dissimilarity will positively or neg...

摘要:Theory building has lagged on the intermediate linkages responsible for the relationship between HRM and firm performance. We introduce the construct strength of the HRM system and describe the metafeatures of an HRM system that result in a strong organizational climate, analogous to Mischel's strong situation, in which individuals share a common interpretation of what behaviors are expected and rewarded. The strength of the HRM system can help explain how individual employee attributes accumu...
