Combining Head and Heart in Complex Organizations: A Test of Etzioni's Dual Compliance Structure Hypothesis
研究基于121名直销分销商数据,发现计算性投入和道德性投入对组织承诺有正向影响,但道德性投入与任务绩效呈负相关,支持了埃齐奥尼的双重服从结构假说。
This study examines the influence of both calculative and moral involvement on the organizational commitment and task performance of a random sample of 121 direct-sales distributors. Based on data gathered from these distributors, organizational commitment is found to be positively related to distributor task performance. Similarly, calculative and moral involvement are found to be positively related to organizational commitment. While organizational commitment and calculative involvement are positively related to distributor task performance, there is a statistically significant negative relationship between moral involvement and distributor task performance. Results also indicate that, although time spent selling products is significantly related to successful distributor task performance, time spent personally recruiting new distributors is not related to successful distributor task performance. The results of the study support Etzioni's dual compliance structure hypothesis of organizational involvement.
