The Illusion of Will in Organizational Behavior Research: Nonconscious Processes and Job Design
指出组织行为研究常假设行为由意识意志驱动，但大量文献表明非意识思维和情感才是反应与行为的主要驱动力。作者以工作设计理论为例，基于自动思维和非意识情感文献提出替代性命题，并讨论其对组织行为领域的广泛启示。
Theorizing and research in organizational behavior implicitly or explicitly assumes that behavior is the product of conscious will. However, an extensive body of literature suggests that much of human behavior is automatic and that nonconscious thoughts and feelings are primary drivers of reactions and behavior. Relying on propositions in use in job design theory and research as a critical case in point, the author reviews the literatures on automatic thought and nonconscious emotions and their implications. Based on these literatures, the author develops alternative propositions for job design theory and research that are based on more realistic assumptions about the mind and human functioning. In addition to discussing implications of nonconscious processes for job design, the author draws broader implications for the field of organizational behavior.
