Micro-Macro Linkages in High-Performance Employment Systems
基于美国和日本雇佣与薪酬系统的数据，研究高绩效组织与外部环境的匹配，发现组织系统的有效性取决于其所在的宏观经济和制度背景。
This paper draws upon data from an investigation of U.S. and Japanese employment and pay systems. Most studies of high-performance workplace organizations have been concerned with 'internal fit', focusing on organizational practices within the firm. In this contribution, the emphasis is upon the 'external fit' between high-performance organizations and their wider environments. The conclusion is that the effectiveness of an organizational system critically depends upon the macroeconomic and institutional contexts within which it is located.
