摘要：This study examined two alternative explanations for disparity in reported work-related experiences and outcomes between black and white managers: treatment discrimination because of race, and differences in human and social capital. Education and training, representing human capital, and racial similarity of network ties and proportion of strong ties, representing social capital, were used to predict whether human and social capital would mediate the relationship between race and the work-rel...

摘要：Relationships and interactions should be an important focus of attention in organizational scholarship. In contrast to traditional research approaches that focus on independent, discrete entities, methodologies oriented to relational concerns in organizations allow researchers to study the intersubjective and interdependent nature of organizational life. In addition to providing historical and philosophical bases for a perspective which emphasizes relationality, we review the growing number of...

In our study, four types of respondents-Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) with business school education, CEOs without such education, graduating MBA students, and liberal arts graduate students-were presented with theory-based performance-rating tasks. These tasks identified respondents' beliefs regar...

摘要：Cyert and March's A Behavioral Theory of the Firm is a fundamental and classic book; it was an early integration of organization theory and economics of duopoly. Further, it introduced computational, or simulation, modeling as a means to investigate theoretical questions about the behavior of organizations. This article validates aspects of those early studies. More importantly, the authors extend our understanding of the roles that routines play in an organizational view of the firm and how r...

They analyze various organizational and motivational devices with respect to their suitability for making use of explicit and tacit knowledge. In so doing they particularly emphasize that some organiza...
