RUMORS OF THE DEATH OF DISPOSITIONAL RESEARCH ARE VASTLY EXAGGERATED
回应Davis-Blake和Pfeffer对组织行为中特质研究的批评，通过综述不同人群和情境的研究证据，论证特质理论应被纳入组织行为解释中。
In this article we reply to Davis-Blake and Pfeffer's (1989) critique of dispositional research in organizational behavior and their suggestions for what it would take for dispositional research to make a valid contribution to the field. Based on a review of studies of different populations in various settings and the different assessments of dispositional we conclude that the evidence presents a compelling argument for incorporating dispositional theory into explanations of behavior in organizations.
