摘要：The relationships between two compensation system attributes-pay level and the level and flexibility of benefits-and the number of applicants attracted to a job, the rate at which they accept the job, and the length of time it takes a firm to fill positions were examined using data on the process of hiring tellers from 352 U.S. banks. Pay level was positively related to acceptance rate as hypothesized, but was unrelated to the number of teller applicants. Opposite to prediction, pay level was ...

摘要：This study investigated the effects of relative decision monitoring, whereby decisions are compared to those of competitors, on chief executive officer [CEO] compensation. We tested for both cash compensation [salary plus bonus] and cash-plus-stock-option compensation. The study's premise was that, to the extent boards of directors consider behavioral information in the CEO evaluation process, performance should have a stronger influence on pay when CEO decisions differ from typical industry d...

摘要：This research examined the relationships between board composition and stock ownership and the passage of poison pill takeover defense provisions by U.S. industrial manufacturing firms. Results indicate the existence of several antecedents to the passage of poison pills. The impact of board leadership on poison pill decisions depends on the proportion of independent directors on a board. Similarly, the impact of chief executive tenure on such decisions depends on the tenures of a firm's indepe...

摘要：This study examined changes in union and organizational commitment after the implementation of a joint union-management quality-of-work-life [QWL] program. The results indicated that company commitment increased only when participants perceived the QWL effort as successful, but union commitment increased irrespective of the perception of QWL success.

摘要：In this study, we propose that changes affecting the resource fit between organizations exchanging resources provide an impetus for the dissolution of their relationships, whereas the individual and structural attachments that develop between exchange partners over time counter those pressures for change. The empirical analysis examined the severance of auditor-client relationships using a case-control design. Change in clients' resource needs increased the likelihood of their switching audito...

摘要：Correlates of the contrarian investment strategy of countercyclical hiring were investigated through the use of regression models that explain variance in four measures of such hiring at the individual company level. Variables positively related to countercyclical hiring include human resource planning efforts focused on avoiding personnel shortages, maintaining a regular age distribution among managers, employee development and career planning, company financial performance, and the quality o...

摘要：This article links institutional and impression management perspectives in a process model of how controversial and possibly unlawful actions of members of organizations can lead to endorsement and support from key constituencies. This model is grounded in interview, archival, and observational data concerning eight illegitimate actions attributed to members of two social movement organizations. We found that institutional conformity and decoupling illegitimate activities from legitimate struc...

摘要：This research examined differences in perceptions and attitudes regarding work, the union, and preferences for decision-making structures among three groups: participants and nonparticipants in an employee involvement program, and employees who had volunteered for the program but had not yet had the opportunity to participate. Results indicated that the volunteers generally had the most positive attitudes toward their work and union; participants showed the greatest disparity between their per...

摘要：Empirical studies have found an association between vertical integration and low risk. However, other work has suggested that a complex pattern of vertical integration reduces ability to adapt to environmental turbulence and hence increases risk. This study examined the relationship between vertical integration and risk to shareholders (systematic risk) and creditors (bankruptcy risk) in the forest products industry. The results indicate that fully integrated firms have higher systematic and b...

摘要：Organizations face an increasingly litigious environment. We examined responses to one class of legal threats: liability stemming from employees' on-the-job exposure to hazardous materials. We empirically investigated the impact of such exposure on the vertical integration of firms and on the percentage change in the number of small firms in an industry. In the face of legal exposure, firms are more likely to adopt a nonvertically integrated production system, and small firm production in an i...
