摘要：Two major approaches to examining the relationship between organizational configurations and performance are found in the strategic management literature. The first, rooted in the concept of strategic groups, is inductive and focuses on a posteriori examinations of industry-specific configurations and their relative performance. The second, a deductive approach, focuses on theory-based predictions. We compared the two approaches using a single set of organizations. The two approaches generated...

摘要：Similarities in financial resource allocations across the lines of business of diversified firms may indicate corporate strategic consistency, which may lead to superior corporate performance. In support of this argument, the variance in R&D intensity across the lines of business of 96 diversified firms was found to be inversely related to industry-adjusted return on assets. However, no relationship was found for capital intensity. These results provide partial support for the usefulness of a ...

摘要：Organizational design theorists argue that organizations adopt matrix (departmentalized) structures for technical reasons, to solve problems of internal coordination and information processing. Research on interorganizational networks suggests that organizations adopt new structures because of mimetic forces and normative pressures. We examined the effects of both sets of factors on the adoption of matrix management in a group of hospitals. Multivariate analyses revealed that matrix adoption i...

摘要：This study assessed the relations among social pressures favoring unions, job satisfaction, perceptions of union instrumentality, and individuals' voter behavior using covariance structure analysis. Job satisfaction and union instrumentality were measured prior to and following union certification elections. Results indicate social pressure was the strongest predictor of voter behavior, having a direct effect as well as mediated effects through satisfaction and commitment. Only voter behavior ...

摘要：This study examined the symbolic processes involved in the computerization of work in a health maintenance organization. Guided by symbolic interaction as a methodological framework, this inductive study used the methods of participant observation and in-depth interviewing for gathering data. It documents the multiple symbols associated with computerization in the organization and discusses local interpretations of those symbolic realities. It also explores the influence of this symbolism on t...

摘要：A 1990 review of the research on the validity of integrity-honesty tests performed by the U.S. Congress's office of Technology Assessment found no studies conducted by independent researchers in which detected theft was used as the criterion. In the first such study, we found that scores on an honesty test successfully predicted detected theft for a group of convenience store employees. No significant differences on the test emerged as a function of race, gender, or age.

摘要：Effective internal technology transfer the implementation of technical systems developed and disseminated to operational subunits within a single organization-depends not only upon the cost, quality, and compatibility of the technology, but also upon two processes of interaction between developers and users. These are user involvement in development and adaptation by the developers and users of both the technical system itself and the workplace. Analyses of data from 34 projects in four large ...

摘要：Structural equation modeling was used to evaluate the effects of three forms of attitudinal commitment on employee turnover. We used a traditional dichotomous measure of organizational departure but applied the PRELIS technique to resolve statistical problems. A test of eight competing versions of a turnover model using data collected from employees in an aerospace firm indicated that the forms of commitment affected turnover indirectly through a latent variable measuring withdrawal tendencies...

摘要：This study examined the extent to which the presence of representatives of financial institutions on firms' boards of directors affected borrowing decisions. Through a time-series analysis of 22 large U.S. manufacturing firms from 1956 through 1983, we found that the types of financial institutions represented on firms' boards were associated with the amounts and types of financing the firms obtained.

摘要：This study examined influences on whether chief executive successors are chosen from inside or outside an organization. We examined the choice of a successor as a function of organizational performance as moderated by the composition of an organization's board of directors and its ownership structure. Results indicate that performance influences successor choice, but board composition, firm ownership, and ownership concentration moderate that relationship. These relationships were examined usi...
