Organizing Employment for High Performance: Theories, Evidence and Policy
探讨了新型工作组织方式(如灵活用工、员工承诺)与高绩效之间的关系,发现这些做法需内部一致并与组织战略匹配,且效果因情境而异,对政策制定者和企业管理者有参考价值。
There has been increased interest in recent years about the way in which employment is organized. Some commentators have suggested that there has been a qualitative transformation such that new forms of work organization have developed which offer the prospect of improved performance. Among the key propositions are: (1) labour is being deployed in a more flexible manner; (2) productivity increasingly depends on the commitment offered by workers; (3) performance-oriented work practices only work if introduced in an internally consistent manner; and (4), it is crucial that such practices are congruent with the overall strategy of the organization in which they are sited. Empirical evidence has indicated that there is much support for these propositions, but that the link between them and high organizational performance is both complex and variable. In particular, the context in which they are situated is a crucial determinant of their success.
