Organization Structure and Performance: A Critical Review
批判性综述了组织结构与绩效之间实证关系的文献,区分了硬/软绩效标准、子群/组织分析单位以及结构化的不同维度,并针对研究缺陷提出未来方向。
We examine the literature addressing the empirical relationships, if any, between organization structure and performance, and draw distinctions between “hard” and “soft” performance criteria, subgroup versus organization units of analysis, and “structuring” versus “structural” dimensions of structure. Our concluding recommendations for future research are offered not as the inevitable prescription but rather in the interest of correcting marked deficiencies and imbalances.
