Task Visibility, Free Riding, and Shirking: Explaining the Effect of Structure and Technology on Employee Behavior
基于交易成本理论，分析任务可见性、搭便车和偷懒三个中介变量如何影响组织结构与技术对员工绩效和满意度的作用，并提出相关假设。
The properties of organized or team production affect three phenomena--free riding, shirking, and task visibility--that mediate the relationship between organizational structure and technology, on the one hand, and employee performance and satisfaction, on the other. Using transaction cost theory, a model of the expected effects of the mediating variables on organizational behavior is presented, and a set of derived hypotheses concerning the structure-technology-behavior relationship is developed.
