Theoretical, Information Processing, and Situational Factors Affecting Attribution Theory Models of Organizational Behavior
指出解释组织行为的归因理论过于局限,提出归因过程会因问题类型和信息加工水平而变化,并构建了一个包含边界条件的归因原则分类框架。
Attributional theories used to explain organizational behavior are overly restrictive. Attributional processes may vary with the type of attributional question addressed and with the level of information processing consistent with situational or motivational factors. Several attributional principles are organized into a typology involving type of attributional question and level of information processing. Boundary conditions affecting the use of particular principles are identified and the importance of differences among attributional processes are discussed.
