摘要:Analyses of founding and mortality rates of specialist organizations in the U.S. wine industry over the period 1941-90 support Carroll's (1985) location-based resource-partitioning model-crowding of generalists in the market center creates opportunities for specialists. Further, specialists are adversely affected when they violate their organizational form's identity characteristics and also when generalists can assume a robust identity allowing them to operate in both specialist and generalis...

摘要:In this study, we examined the effects of temporal coordination on virtual teams supported by an asynchronous communication technology (Lotus Notes). Specifically, we evaluated the moderating role of a temporal coordination mechanism, process structure, on the relationship between conflict management behavior and virtual team performance. An experiment was conducted with 35 five-person teams in the United States and Japan. Our findings show that the way virtual teams manage internal conflict i...

摘要:This article presents evidence for an incremental change process in decision-making groups whereby change unfolds through self-generated interruptions. Group members initiate self-interruptions by switching their attention to social concerns (in familiar groups) or to discussion instructions (in groups using formal interventions). During such interruptions, members evaluate activities, propose alternative approaches, and change working strategies. Results suggest that familiarity and formal in...

摘要:Cognitive and learning theories were used to develop a framework in which different knowledge representations prime recipients with different schemata and thereby differentially affect their decision making. We evaluated interpretive, general, and particular knowledge representations in a laboratory experiment with managers. The hypotheses received mixed support, with significant results indicating the importance of particular knowledge representations in managerial decision making and an intr...

摘要:This study examined the effects of goal difficulty, monetary incentives, and efficacy on the strategic risk, tactical implementation, and performance of teams performing a computer simulation. God difficulty increased strategic risk, in part through team efficacy. Strategic risk partially mediated goal difficulty's effect on performance. Incentives reduced strategic risk for easy-goal teams and improved tactical implementation. Teams with both difficult goals and incentives achieved the highes...

摘要:Researchers have assumed that large ownership stakes held by institutional investors grant them power to influence R&D investments, We found that ownership alone was insufficient and that institutions resorted to activism to influence R&D investments. Institutional activism increased R&D inputs over both the short and long terms. The nature of the activism and the strategic context of the R&D investment moderated the relationship. Further, R&D inputs mediated the effect of activism on R&D outp...

摘要:In a field quasi experiment, customers were most satisfied with the service quality of the branch of a multinational bank where good organizational citizens had been trained as service quality leaders, and branch employees exhibited the highest conformance to the quality scheme of the bank. In a branch where service quality leaders were randomly selected for training, customer satisfaction and conformance improved more than they did in a branch where no service quality leaders were trained.

摘要:Employees' organizational identification was measured in three organizations. Results show that employee communication augments perceived external prestige and helps explain organizational identification. Communication climate plays a central role, mediating the impact on organizational identification of the content of communication. The relative impacts of employee communication and perceived external prestige on organizational identification differ between organizations; this was attributed ...

摘要:In this field experiment, we first compared the performance effects of money systematically administered through the organizational behavior modification (O.B. Mad.) model and routine pay for performance and then compared the effects of O.B. Mod.-administered money, social recognition, and performance feedback. The money intervention based on the O.B. Mod. outperformed routine pay for performance (performance increase = 37% vs. 11%) and also had stronger effects on performance than social reco...

摘要:We drew upon strategic management theory, organizational behavior theory, organization theory, and entrepreneurship models to form an integrated model of venture growth including 17 concepts from five micro and macro research domains. The model was tested with responses from 307 companies from the architectural woodworking industry. CEOs' specific competencies and motivations and firm competitive strategies were direct predictors of venture growth. CEOs' traits and general competencies and the...
