摘要：This study examined the cognitive processes involved in handling job problems in two business organizations. True situational characteristics, discrepancy between a goal and performance and the frequency of a problem's occurrence, and two individual characteristics-cognitive complexity and the accessibility of ''script tracks'' in memory (conceptual structures)-were found to be associated with these cognitive processes. Job complexity moderated the relationship of cognitive complexity with pro...

摘要：This study's premise is that ingratiation and organizational citizenship behaviors are similar but that supervisors will respond differently to employees depending on whether they label their extrarole behaviors as ingratiation or as organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). Variables based on Kelley's covariation model did not greatly influence supervisory attributions. The attribution of motive, however, was related to supervisory decisions on employee outcomes.

摘要：Theorists suggest that integrated manufacturing requires a compensation strategy that reinforces collective effort, professionalism, and flexibility. But several aspects of job design and organizational characteristics may mitigate a direct manufacturing-compensation relationship. Results of this study show virtually no direct effects of advanced technology, just-in-time inventory control, and total quality management on compensation practices. However, when integrated manufacturing is coupled...

摘要：This article reports a comparative case study of four joint ventures between partners from the United States and the People's Republic of China. The bargaining power of potential partners affects the structure of management control in a joint venture, which affects venture performance. Several informal control mechanisms interacting with formal control structure and influencing performance are identified. We also investigated the joint ventures' evolution over time. An integrative model of man...

摘要：Both inadequate governance and inappropriate strategy have been proposed as antecedents of the divestment activity of restructuring firms in the 1980s. We combined both views in a structural equation model in which divestment intensity is directly related to firm performance and strategy, which are in turn preceded by weak governance. Some supportive results indicate that blockholder equity, a governance antecedent, and relative product diversification (strategy) have important indirect effect...

摘要：Agency theory suggests a conflict of interest in the relationship between investment bankers and the firms they represent during merger negotiations. We examined this proposition by scrutinizing the association between the compensation bankers earned and the premiums paid in mergers. Results show a positive relationship between premium and compensation for investment bankers of both target and bidder firms. This relationship indicates alignment between the goals of the targets and their repres...

摘要：Fortune's annual ratings of America's largest corporations are shown to be heavily influenced by previous financial results, thus creating a halo that must be removed before these qualitative reputational measures can be used appropriately in other research. This article presents a method for removing that performance halo and demonstrates the method's validity.

摘要：In 51 acquisitions of financially distressed firms, related business combinations in which the acquirers had prior acquisition experience performed best. However, business relatedness and acquisition experience had no effect on performance in a control group of 46 acquisitions of firms that were not distressed. The results imply that tacit knowledge about the acquisition process and about how to integrate and manage the assets of distressed firms may be keys to their successful acquistion.

摘要：Building on previous contingency frameworks, we developed an encompassing contingency model that might explain the inconsistent planning-performance findings reported in previous research. The model was empirically tested using meta analytic data drawn from 26 previously published studies. Results suggest that strategic planning positively influences firm performance and that methods factors are primarily responsible for the inconsistencies reported in the literature. The substantive contingen...

摘要：When a firm's chief executive officer is also the chairperson of its board, directors have opposing objectives. According to organization theory, such CEO duality establishes strong, unambiguous leadership. But according to agency theory, duality promotes CEO entrenchment by reducing board monitoring effectiveness. We developed a contingency framework to resolve these perspectives. Sampling three industries to enhance generalizability, we found that board vigilance was positively associated wi...
