摘要：This study investigated the informal networks of white and minority managers. Minority managers had more racially heterogeneous and fewer intimate network relationships. Within the minority group, differences in advancement potential were associated with different network configurations: high-potential individuals balanced same- and cross-race contacts; others had networks dominated by ties to whites. High-potential minorities also had more contacts outside their groups, fewer high-status ties...

摘要：This study explored situations in which current organizational goal priorities require rewards allocation logics that contradict traditional distributive norms and the natural characteristics of resources. Data from Chinese and U.S. business organizations showed that the Chinese employees were economically oriented and preferred to invoke differential rules (those that result in unequal distribution of rewards) for the allocation of both material and socioemotional rewards whereas their U.S. c...

Hypotheses were tested on two samples of salespeople from different organizations. The results of hierarchical regression analysis indicated stronger relationships between organizational commitment and performance for those with low financial requirements than for those with high requirements.

摘要：This study examined the relationships among strategy, human resources, and performance among National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) basketball teams. Results based on survey data and a widely used performance rating indicated that coaches' preferred strategies influence the characteristics that they look for in recruits. Also, teams implementing a strategy different from a coach's preferred strategy performed less well than those implementing the preferred strategy. Finally, human res...

摘要：This study examined how the ability to monitor an agent's actions and environmental munificence affect compensation contracts in principal-agent dyads. In a laboratory experiment, we tested predictions based on both assumptions grounded in agency theory and an alternative perspective, In simulated munificent environments, inability to monitor fostered contracts that were contingent on outcomes, and agents received larger relative shares of dyadic earnings, In environments characterized by scar...

摘要：This article reports the results of an ex post study of the effects of leveraged buyouts (LBOs) upon the goals, strategy, structure, and performance of firms. Our study was designed to test arguments that can be logically derived from agency theory. We used a survey to collect data on pre- and post-LBO goals, strategy, structure, and productivity for a sample of 214 firms that underwent buyouts between 1986 and 1989. Our results do not enable us to reject hypotheses based upon agency theory.

摘要：People frame and make sense of their worlds through the use of cognitive categories, which researchers can only indirectly access. Public corporate statements are easily accessible and comparable across companies and over time, but it is unclear to what extent such statements reflect organization members' cognitive categorizations. This study is the first to directly compare executives' public and private statements to explore whether and along what dimensions public statements reflect interna...

摘要：The construct of change schema is developed and its possible dimensions explained. Using data from two samples and both quantitative and qualitative methods, we found that locus of control and organizational commitment were related to specific dimensions of the construct. Dogmatism was not related in the specific manner hypothesized. Further, the hypothesized role of change schema as a mediator between these individual differences, general attitude toward change, and attitudes toward specific ...

摘要：This study addressed the question of whether firms in a competitive, globally integrated environment face a ''liability of foreignness'' and to what extent either importing home-country organizational capabilities or copying the practices of successful local firms can help them overcome this liability. Predictions were tested with a paired sample of 24 foreign exchange trading rooms of major Western and Japanese banks in New York and Tokyo. Results support the existence of a liability of forei...

摘要：Social and demographic changes represent an important environmental challenge to organizations. Recent demographic changes in the United States have increased the potential importance of ''eldercare'' benefits in the workplace. In this research, I elaborate a number of important organizational and environmental determinants that influence the recognition and interpretation of eldercare issues and relate these considerations to the level of employer involvement in the care of elderly dependents...
