探讨组织成员的服务年限和年龄分布对创新、离职率、冲突、权力和政治的影响,强调管理者需理解组织人口学以改善组织运作。
The composition of organizations in terms of the length of service and age distribution of its members is important for understanding a wide variety of phenomena ranging from innovation to turnover rates. Cohorts (groups of people who have entered the organization at about the same time) play an important role in shaping organizational conflict, power, and politics. Managers need to better understand the role of organizational demography if they are to improve the functioning of their organization.
