Managerial Receptivity and Implementation of Policies
研究了71个联邦政府组织中管理者对政策的接受度如何影响政策执行，发现接受度是最重要的正向因素，同时高层重视、组织规模、工作负荷等也有影响。
A major unanswered question relevant to managers and researchers is how to implement policies more effectively. This study advances a model of managerial policy implementation and tests hypotheses derived from 71 federal government organizations. The results show that various facets of managerial receptivity to the policy were the most important positive influences on implementation of the two policies. Other factors such as perceived emphasis by top level management, organizational size, work overload, perceptions of the importance of performance for promotion, and the manager's attitude toward change were also important predictors of the managers' receptivity to the policies. Implications of the findings for management and future research are presented.
