However, based on an exchange relation logic we argue that the lobbying resources...

摘要：If professionalism shapes executive behavior significantly, then agencies whose executives belong to a particular profession ought to manage differently from similarly situated executives who do not, and in ways that affect organizational outcomes. Extending theories of normative isomorphism to executive management, this study examines the effects of executives' professions on their management and their agencies' implementation of federal environmental regulations. Examining American local gov...

This study takes as its object of investigation the tax collectors of Taipei National Tax...
