ENACTMENT IN MANAGERIAL JOBS: A ROLE ANALYSIS*
评估角色理论在管理岗位研究中的适用性，提出一个理论模型，分析管理者如何影响他人对其岗位的期望，整合了管理行为、领导二元关系、符号互动论等研究。
ABSTRACT Research into managerial jobs and behaviour has been appropriately criticized for being acontextual and atheoretical. Hales (1986) suggested that role theory could provide one suitable theoretical framework. This article assesses the merit of that suggestion and then develops it by proposing a theoretical model of the antecedents of a manager's impact on the expectations held by others that partially define the job. the analysis integrates research from the fields of managerial behaviour, leadership dyads, symbolic interactionism, and idiosyncratic jobs to produce a more comprehensive model of the determinants of ‘expectation enactment’in managerial jobs. It brings an enactment or ‘emergence’perspective to the field of managerial jobs and behaviour that is consistent with recent developments in other parts of the organizations and management studies literature. Implications for future research are discussed.
