STRUCTURE, ENVIRONMENT, AND ORGANIZATIONAL GOVERNANCE IN MANUFACTURING*
比较了两种组织治理理论:一种强调高层管理者的行政理性,另一种强调低层行动者通过资源动员获取控制权,并基于制造工厂样本检验了包含母公司特征、工厂环境、资源和授权在内的综合模型。
ABSTRACT The paper compares theories of organizational governance that explain delegation in decision making in terms of administrative rationality on the parts of top corporate officials with theories that emphasize lower‐level actors mobilizing resources to gain control over organizational outcomes. These two alternative theories are developed and extended to apply to the relationship between manufacturing plants and parent companies. A general model is introduced to compare these theories which includes characteristics of parent companies and site environments, site resources, and delegation. The model is then tested on a sample of manufacturing plants.
