摘要:In this article we reexamine the relationship between time and processes of institutionalization. We argue that pace and stability. two temporal dimensions of institutionalization, depend on the mechanism used by agents to support the institutionalization process. Drawing from the power literature, we develop four types of mechanisms-influence. force, discipline. and domination-and argue that (1) each type will produce a distinctive pattern of pace and stability, and (2) more complex patterns ...

摘要:We propose a supplemental perspective, based on organizational social capital, for examining the voluntary turnover-organizational performance relationship. We view existing organizational-level theories as those focusing on cost or human capital issues or,rarely, on a balance among these factors. But rapid changes in the nature of work, organizational structures, and interorganizational competitiveness increase the importance of studying the role of social capital in the voluntary turnover-or...

摘要:We outline a supply and demand model of corporate social responsibility (CSR). based on this framework, we hypothesize that a firm's level of CSR will depend on its size, level of diversification, research and development, advertising, government sales, consumer income, labor market conditions, and stage in the industry life cycle. From these hypotheses, we conclude that there is an ideal level of CSR which managers can determine via: cost-benefit analysis, and that there is a neutral relation...

摘要:The ineffectiveness of several privatized firms within emerging economies underscores the importance of agency theory issues and their impact on the privatization performance relationship. We argue that weak governance and limited protection of minority shareholders intensify traditional principal-agent problems (perquisite consumption and entrenchment) and create unique agency problems (expropriation). We suggest that postprivatization performance earn be enhanced by using appropriate ownersh...

摘要:Although gossip is widespread, seldom has it been a topic of management research. Here we build a conceptual model of workplace gossip and its effects on the power of employees who initiate it. After defining and distinguishing among different kinds of workplace gossip, we develop propositions about the effect of that gossip on gossipers' expert, referent, reward, and coercive power. We then suggest how moderators may shape those effects and discuss implications of the model.

摘要:We focus on everyday role transitions involving home, wort and other placer. Transitions are boundary-crossing activities, where one exits and enters roles by surmounting role boundaries. Roles can be arrayed on a continuum spanning high segmentation to high integration. Segmentation decreases role blurring but increases the magnitude of change, rendering boundary crossing more difficult: crossing often is facilitated by rites of passage. Integration decreases the magnitude of change but incre...

摘要:In research on sexual harassment, authors have given little attention to sexual harassers. We present an actor-focused model of sexual harassment interactions. In the model, which is based on interpersonal aggression research, we frame sexual harassment as one form of behavior an actor might choose for pursuing valued goals. The model is interactive, in that we discuss the effects of sexually harassing actions on the target's perceptions, motives, and behavioral response choice. We also provid...

摘要:We argue that there are powerful forces in many organizations that cause widespread withholding of information about potential problems or issues by employees. We refer to this collective-level phenomenon as organizational silence. In our model we identify contextual variables that create conditions conducive to silence and explore the collective sensemaking dynamics that can create the shared perception that speaking up is unwise. We also discuss some of the negative consequences of systemic ...

摘要:Organizational scholars have studied the impact of employment law on the structure of formed organizations but have given little attention to how law affects everyday life within work organizations. Here we propose a legal readings model of how law is received and mobilized by employees. This posits that law within organizations is composed of employees' beliefs about law and mobilization of law which develop from interaction with employers' law-related actions. Employees' legal readings funct...
