摘要：This article presents and illustrates the textual approach to qualitative research. In this approach, ethnography is used to observe organizational events and to gain access to related textual or documentary data for subsequent analysis. The documents are then analyzed via an integrated combination of methods: theoretical sampling, computer-facilitated qualitative data analysis, and expansion analysis. I illustrate the approach with an ethnographic study of ''sensemaking'' during a public inqu...

摘要：Drawing on a content analysis of all the articles submitted to the 1993 Special Research Forum on Methodology and their reviews, we identify and discuss three requirements for methodological contributions: importance and significance, adequate conceptual grounding, and adherence to methodologically sound and accurate strategies. We also discuss innovative methodological directions suggested by the submissions related to the meaning of data and measurement, the role of time in management resear...

摘要：Although there is a relatively large literature on escalating commitment, almost all the research it describes has concerned individuals rather than organizations. Therefore, to provide additional grounding for an organizational theory of escalation, we examined the Long Island Lighting Company's decision to build and operate the Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant. Shoreham's cost, estimated to be $75 million when the project was announced in 1966, rose over the next 23 years to over $5 billion. A n...

摘要：In this article, we examine the use of the key informant methodology by researchers investigating interorganizational relationships. Authors have advocated the use of multiple informants to increase the reliability and validity of informant reports. However, interorganizational research still tends to rely on single informants. We investigated informant selection and obtaining perceptual agreement among multiple informants, two problems that may have inhibited widespread use of multiple inform...

摘要：This study concerned strategy implementation in multinational organizations. In previous research, subsidiary top managers' perception that their head offices exercised procedural justice positively affected the former's commitment, trust, and outcome satisfaction. Here, we traced the effect of procedural justice beyond attitudes to the behavior of compliance. Results, based on two-stage longitudinal data, suggest that procedural justice enhances subsidiary top managers' compliance directly an...

摘要：This meta-analysis examines whether differences in the lengths of time elapsed between the measurement of organizational commitment and departure interact with the career stages of employees in moderating the commitment-turnover relationship. For younger employees, the shorter the time separating the measurement of organizational commitment and the occurrence of departure, the stronger the correlations. The findings also show that the commitment measure used strongly affects the magnitude of t...

摘要：Federal statutes recommend the analysis of four job attributes as measures of job worth, and the National Academy of Sciences recommends using one job evaluation method across classifications in an organization. The results of this construct validity study showed that the correctness of evaluations based on the four factors is questionable, as is the use of a single method across classifications.

摘要：This study investigated the effects of managerial succession on organizational mortality, applying dynamic models to longitudinal data and exploring the impact of succession over time. The model included the succession of managers and firm presidents. Small organizations, which are likely to be homogeneous in their response to succession, were studied, Succession increased organizational mortality. These effects diminished as time passed and were stronger in younger organizations. Presidential...

摘要：The rote of social and situational influences in the performance-rating process has received relatively little research attention yet merits increased attention. Although there has been acknowledgment of the role of social and situational factors in shaping rater cognition and evaluation, research has typically proceeded in a piecemeal fashion, isolating a single variable at a time. Such an approach fails to recognize that performance rating is a process with multiple social and situational fa...

摘要：Mintzberg's and Miles and Snow's configurational theories have both received widespread attention. Most researchers, however, have interpreted these theories in terms of categories of organizations rather than organizational configurations based on ideal types. We explicated the logical structure of configurational theories and developed a set of configurational fit models that are congruent with alternative assumptions of equifinality, which is the premise that multiple organizational forms a...
