A framework for testing meso‐mediational relationships in Organizational Behavior
提出了一个检验跨层次中介关系的框架，区分了同层次中介和不同形式的跨层次中介，讨论了其前提和证据基础，并提供了实证示例。
Abstract We advance a framework for testing mediational relationships that traverse levels of analysis. We differentiate mediation that functions within levels, as well as different forms of meso‐mediation that operate downward across levels of analysis. We discuss the preconditions and evidential basis for these meso‐mediational type relationships. We then provide an empirical example that illustrates the different types of mediation and conclude with recommendations and extensions for studying more complex meso‐mediational organizational phenomena.
