摘要:This paper makes two important contributions. It is an example of MESO theory development which bridges subfields of organization theory with research on individual ethical behavior, and it presents a compelling theoretical framework for the idea that the design of the organization can have profound implications for the moral and ethical behavior of organization members.

摘要:This is a most unusual paper. It is based on 11 months of ethnographic studies in a Japanese high-technology company. It investigates the structuring process of identity creation in organization. The authors painstakingly detail how the technologies of production, routinization and spatial order combine into daily mutual dependencies, joint sensemaking and the formation of an intense social order to the exclusion of other obligations. The findings have important implications for team based org...

The model is designed to bring together epistemic contributions which are typically studied in isolation. The learning types produced from the model represent processes the intersection of which can contribute to the development of a comprehensive theory for integrating learning and work. At the individual ...

摘要:Most studies of organizational performance define performance as a dependent variable and seek to identify variables that produce variations in performance, Researchers who study organizational performance in this way typically devote little attention to the complications of using such a formulation to characterize the causal structure of performance phenomena. These complications include the ways in which performance advantage is competitively unstable, the causal complexity surrounding perfo...
