摘要：Public sector employees have traditionally enjoyed substantial influence and bargaining power in organizational decision making, but few studies have investigated the formation of employee acceptance of management authority. Drawing on the romance of leadership perspective, the authors argue that performance information shapes employee attributions of leader quality and perceptions of a need for change in ways that affect their acceptance of management authority, conceptualized using Simon's n...

摘要：Governments use different regulatory instruments to ensure that businesses owners or inspectees comply with rules and regulations. One tool that is increasingly applied is disclosing inspectees' performance information to other stakeholders.

摘要：In recent decades, governments have invested in the creation of two forms of knowledge production about government performance : program evaluations and performance management. Prior research has noted tensions between these two approaches and the potential for complementarities when they are aligned. This article offers empirical evidence on how program evaluations connect with performance management in the U.S. federal government in 2000 and 2013. In the later time period, there is an intera...

摘要：The integration of resource dependence theory and a network perspective results in a parsimonious strategic response model for the organizational responses of exit, voice, loyalty, and adjustment. Four cases illustrate the model's application to nonprofit organizations by focusing on relations with a government aid agency that switched funding priorities. The model helps explain why networks of recipients of funding may change over time and predicts organizational responses to changing demands...

It differentiates between trustworthy coworkers, supervisors, and senior managers. It uses cross-sectional...
