摘要：Relief services provided by corporations to employees following a natural disaster were expected to be associated with reduced levels of employee strains. Data from 143 hurricane victims partially supported this prediction, revealing that tangible support meeting employees' primary needs had the most numerous effects over the course of the disaster aftermath.

摘要：This study examined the sequential entry process of Japanese electronic manufacturing firms into the United States during the period 1976-89. The firms first entered their core businesses and those in which they had a strong competitive advantage over local firms to reduce the hazard of failure. Learning from early entries enabled them to launch further entries into noncore businesses and into areas of weaker competitive advantage. The overall evidence suggests that Japanese firms are building...

摘要：This study's premise is that firms that can lower their costs and enhance their differentiation through the effective management of their human resources have a competitive advantage. Using data from 1986 through 1992, we examined the impact that announcements of U.S. Department of Labor awards for exemplary affirmative action programs had upon the stock returns of winning corporations and the effect that announcements of damage awards from the settlement of discrimination lawsuits had on the ...

Highly involved customers who were dissatisfied with core factors expressed greater overall dissatisfaction with the relationship than those less involved who also were dissatisfied with core factors. Peripheral aspects, such as supplier responsiveness to customer inquiries, appeared to influen...

摘要：Industries differ widely in how much managerial discretion, or latitude of action, they allow This research contributes to the reliable and valid measurement of this important but hard-to-measure construct. We found that (1) a panel of academics showed very high consistency in rating managerial discretion in diverse industries, (2) a panel of security analysts agreed strongly with the academics, and (3) the panel ratings were highly related to archival indicators of discretion posited by Hambr...

摘要：This study examined relationships among job scope, perceived fit between job demands and ability, and stress. Data on scope and stress were provided by 418 full-time employees. Ratings of job complexity from the Dictionary of Occupational Titles (DOT) and the Occupational Prestige Index (OF) also measured job scope. All three job scope measures had a U-shaped curvilinear relationship with emotional exhaustion. Anxiety had a negative association with incumbent-reported job scope but none with t...

摘要：A model incorporating antecedents and outcomes of measures of manager-rated employee affective and continuance commitment was tested with 231 managers and 339 subordinates. Organizational citizenship behavior predicted manager-rated affective commitment, whereas side bets (age, tenure, and education) predicted manager-rated continuance commitment. Further, affective commitment was positively and continuance commitment negatively related to a variety of outcomes, including managerial potential ...

摘要：We propose that the use of total quality management (TQM) practices will improve just-in-time (JIT) performance through process variance reduction and reduced rework time and that JIT practices will improve quality performance through problem exposure and improved process feedback. Using data on 42 plants in three U.S. industries, we found that common infrastructure practices formed a strong foundation for both types of performance; in addition, we demonstrated that TQM and JIT practices inter...

摘要：This study's basic argument is that the level of a firm's international interdependence influences the pattern of CEO characteristics ideal for enabling a CEO to contribute to firm performance. In data from 74 CEOs and their firms, the influence of locus of control, information evaluation style, and international experience on firm performance varied with interdependence. A marketing management specialization hindered performance in a high international interdependence context and helped it in...
