Bivariate Models of Fit in Contingency Theory
指出权变理论中拟合的概念因建模方式而难以检测，提出多项式回归模型能更简单、通用、稳健地捕捉现有模型隐含的拟合形式。
The concept of fit in contingency theory has been modeled in ways that made it less conducive to detection. Each model of fit postulates a specific relationship between the structural, contingency, and outcome variables. Operationalization is then derived from this relationship. Conversely, a polynomial regression model would allow for a more generalized notion of fit while capturing the same forms of fit implied by existing models in a simpler, general, robust, and less constrained way.
