An Empirical Study of the Impact of Just‐in‐Time Task Scope Versus Just‐in‐Time Workflow Integration on Organizational Design
研究检验了准时制技术中任务范围与工作流整合两个维度，发现任务范围预测工作流整合，且只有任务范围与更专业化、分权化、整合化及依赖正式绩效控制的组织设计相关。
ABSTRACT The research tests a theory of JIT as a technology having task scope versus workflow integration dimensions. The results show that JIT task scope predicts JIT workflow integration, and that only the former is associated with organizational designs that are more specialized, decentralized, integrated, and reliant on formal performance measurement control. The findings imply that organizational structure does not necessarily follow from workflow structure. Rather, both organizational structure and workflow structure follow from the knowledge capital that JIT task scope represents.
