• Entrepreneurial privatization strategies: Order of entry and local partner collaboration as sources of competitive advantage AI翻译
  作者：Doh, JP
  作者单位：American University; George Washington University
  摘要：Firm-level responses to privatization have not been widely studied. Drawing from Industrial organization economics, the resource-based view, and interorganizational cooperative strategy, I develop an integrated theory to show how privatization encourages early entry: how delayed market liberalization reinforces first mover benefits: and how firms with specialized resources, an entrepreneurial orientation, and local partner collaborations gain postprivatization competitive advantage. I construc...
• Microprocesses of institutional change in the context of privatization AI翻译

  摘要：Conceptualizing privatization era the shift from one institutional template to another, we draw on the related literature of institutional theory and script development to explore the interactive effects of actors' behavioral scripts and institutional templates. In so doing, we address microlevel aspects of the macroinstitutional change of privatization and advance our understanding of the role of public sector managers in the privatization process.
• A framework for linking culture and improvement initiatives in organizations AI翻译

  摘要：We present a synthesis of the general dimensions of organizational culture used most commonly in extant research and outline how these general dimensions correspond to the specific values and beliefs underlying total quality management (TQM) practice (a comprehensive change initiative). We argue that the relationship between culture and implementation of new behaviors and practices has not been adequately explored because of the lack of a comprehensive framework for defining and measuring orga...
• Classifying managerial responses to multiple organizational identities AI翻译
  作者：Pratt, MG; Foreman, PO
  作者单位：University of Illinois System; University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
  摘要：We examine the phenomenon of multiple organizational identities and suggest that they can be managed in organizations by changing the number of (identity plurality) or relationships among (identity synergy) the identities. Using plurality and synergy as response dimensions, we offer a classification scheme identifying four major types of managerial responses: compartmentalization, deletion, integration, and aggregation. We also suggest several key conditions that may affect the use and appropr...
• Stability and change as simultaneous experiences in organizational life AI翻译
  作者：Leana, CR; Barry, B

  摘要：Organizations and individual employees increasingly are pursuing change in how work is organized, how it is managed, and in who is carrying it out. At the same time, there are numerous individual, organizational and societal forces promoting stability in work and employment relations. Here we discuss change and stability and the forces pushing individuals and organizations to pursue both. We argue that some level of tension between stability and change is an inevitable part of organizational l...
• Organizational identity, image, and adaptive instability AI翻译

  摘要：Organizational identity usually is portrayed as that which is core, distinctive, and enduring about the character of an organization. We argue that because of the reciprocal interrelationships between identity and image, organizational identity, rather than enduring, is better viewed as a relatively fluid and unstable concept. We further argue that instead of destabilizing an organization. this instability in identity is actually adaptive in accomplishing change. The analysis leads to some pro...
• A sociocognitive interpretation of organizational downsizing AI翻译
  作者：McKinley, W; Zhao, J; Rust, KG
  作者单位：Southern Illinois University System; Southern Illinois University
  摘要：To better understand the phenomenon of organizational downsizing, we compare three theoretical perspectives on downsizing: the economic, the institutional, and the sociocognitive. We use the three perspectives to organize the growing empirical literature on downsizing, and we link streams of empirical work to the theoretical perspective that underlies each. With our sociocognitive model, we argue that downsizing has become institutionalized through the collectivization and reification of a dow...
• The evolution of social structure: Why biology matters AI翻译
  作者：Pierce, BD; White, R
  摘要：Sociobiologists and evolutionary psychologists believe that much about behavior has deep evolutionary roots. We employ this emerging paradigm about the origins of human nature to explain social behavior and emergent social structures. Using the work of socioecologists and ethologists, we connect these social structures with features of the resource context. Although still controversial, using biological evolution to help explain (social) behaviors holds significant potential for advancing the ...

• Organizational social capital and employment practices AI翻译
  作者：Leana, CR; Van Buren, HJ III
  作者单位：Pennsylvania Commonwealth System of Higher Education (PCSHE); University of Pittsburgh
  摘要：We introduce the construct of organizational social capital and develop a model of its components and consequences. Organizational social capital is defined as a resource reflecting the character of social relations within the organization. It is realized through members' levels of collective goal orientation and shared trust, which create value by facilitating successful collective action: We discuss employment practices as primary mechanisms by which social capital is fostered or discouraged...
