Professionalization in a Rationally Managed Corporate Organization
研究了理性管理对工程师专业化的影响，通过对比合并前后320名工程师的专业化数据，发现理性管理组织中的专业化程度更高。
The purpose of this study was to explore professionalization as a phenomenon attendant to rational corporate management. The subjects were 320 engineers, the entire engineering staff of a merged manufacturing firm. Matched data relating to three dimensions of professionalization were gathered from the same subjects for the pre-merger and post-merger periods. It was posited that engineers would exhibit greater professionalization in an organization which was rationally managed than they would in one where rational management was not the norm. Hypotheses formulated and operationalized for the study were supported by the data.
