摘要：The subjective experience of workplace health and safety risk among exposed individuals is little understood. Health and safety risks are associated with multifaceted subjective interpretations different from those associated with other elements of the work environment and more directly influential on work attitudes and behavior than actual risk. This article conceptually and operationally defines these interpretations and evidences the influence of chronic risk exposure on job satisfaction, s...

摘要：Chief executives in one national and three regional samples participated in a study of the content and structure of their organizational visions. Executives clustered in three groups distinguished by differing orientations to derived factors. Cluster membership was found to be related to the rapidity of firm change, the amount of control the executives exercised over firms, and other variables. Vision showed a multifaceted structure, with factors for vision formulation, implementation, and inn...

摘要：We tested a model proposing that subordinates' impression management behavior influences performance ratings through supervisors' liking of and perceived similarity to subordinates. We measured impression management behavior, liking, and similarity six weeks after the establishment of supervisor-subordinate dyads and measured performance ratings after six months. Results indicated support for the overall model and several specified relationships. Additionally, impression management behavior ha...

摘要：In response to the increasingly rapid occurrence of skill obsolescence, governments are exploring programs to provide incentives for worker training. Net present value analysis was used to assess the benefits of subsidized computer training for semiskilled officer workers in Canada. Results suggest that government sponsorship yielded positive returns for taxpayers and firms, provided training was general and not firm-specific. High turnover made firm-specific training unattractive, A combinati...

摘要：We examined the impact on the market value of firms' stock of announcements about RandD projects made in the innovation and commercialization stages of the RandD process. Technology- and market-related variables were tested as predictors of the wealth impact of RandD announcements. Our analysis indicates that the stage of the R&D process moderates the relationship between the wealth effects and technology and market variables. The former are more important than market variables in the innovati...

摘要：This study analyzes the compensation strategy of firms. We examined differences in the pay and incentives of lower-level managers in firms with different levels of management discretion. We found that firms with higher managerial discretion paid compensation premiums through higher salaries, greater bonuses, and more long-term incentives; however, changes in pay were not related to changes in performance, and high-discretion firms did not perform better than other types of firms.

摘要：Studies investigating the relationship between executive compensation and firm performance, firm size, or both have had consistently low explanatory power. The present study uses Forbes data for 1983-89 and shows that nonparametric models, comparing the ranks of firms within industries, more accurately reflect changes in CEO compensation. There was no support for a linear relationship between performance and such changes but strong support for an increasing, convex relationship.

摘要：This study examined how small firms differ in their competitive behaviors from their large rivals in an industry and explored the implications of differences for performance. Data on competitive moves and countermoves exchanged by major U.S. airlines supported the predicted differences. The small airlines more actively initiated competitive challenges and were speedy but low-key, even secretive, in executing their actions. They were also less likely and slower to respond when attacked and, con...

摘要：This article presents the results of two experiments that investigated fairness and apparent fairness in ultimatum negotiations. Results suggest that offerers-those presenting offers-were bath strategic and exploitative: they made offers that appeared fair only when respondents (potential recipients) had full information about the amounts to be divided or when third parties labeled offers as to their fairness. In contrast, respondents ignored fairness claims but reacted to the sizes of offers ...

摘要：In an extension of research on organizational socialization, the relationship between previous work experience and the tasks and outcomes of the socialization process was examined using a longitudinal field design. The importance of measuring socialization variables longitudinally, beginning at organizational entry, was highlighted. Implications for future research are discussed.
