Electronic mail as social influence in downsized organizations
通过实验研究，发现接收电子邮件的精简组织幸存者感知到的规范影响显著高于未接收者，对人力资源管理者跨地域影响员工有启示。
The potential to influence survivors of downsizing via electronic communication is empirically examined in an experimental setting. Individuals exposed to electronic mail messages perceived a significantly higher level of normative influence than those receiving no electronic mail messages. Implications for human resource managers include the ability to efficiently and effectively influence employees across geographic locations and organizational settings via electronic communication.
