Understanding ‘appropriateness’ in multinational organizations
研究了跨国组织中行为适当性评估如何影响冲突、凝聚力和目标达成，并构建模型说明全球员工配置等安排通过影响成员的内外群体分类来改变评估概率和反应强度。
Abstract Assessments of the appropriateness and inappropriateness of behaviors may influence conflict, cohesion, and goal attainment in multinational organizations (MNOs). We develop a model of appropriateness that illustrates how various arrangements in MNOs (e.g., geocentric staffing) may work to influence the likelihood of (in‐) appropriateness assessments as well as the magnitude of the reactions (positive or negative) to such assessments via their influence on members' ingroup‐outgroup categorizations.
