Choice and determinism: A reply
回应了Hrebiniak和Joyce的组织适应模型，指出其仅宽泛定义了适应过程，并推荐社会学习理论来深入理解选择与决定论的互动，强调适应过程是交互的且应纵向研究。
Abstract Hrebiniak and Joyce (1985) present a model of organizational adaptation in which environmental determinism and strategic choice are orthogonal. Lawless and Finch (1989) find empirical support for Hrebiniak and Joyce's four choice‐determinism combinations, and mixed support for propositions concerning strategies that perform best in each. The note, ‘Choice and determinism: A comment,’ relates social learning theory to the Hrebiniak and Joyce framework, based on the position that this theory is a useful way to describe the process of organizational adaptation. Fundamentally, the comment puts two arguments on the table. In order of importance they are: The adaptation process is only broadly defined by Hrebiniak and Joyce or by Lawless and Finch. Yet it is important to understand the choice—determinism interaction. The comment recommends social learning theory (Wood and Bandura, 1989) as an elaboration. The process of adaptation is interactive, and ought to be studied longitudinally. These two arguments are discussed in turn as a possible contribution to choice‐determinism research.
