Participation in Decision-Making: An Examination of Style and Structure and Their Effects on Member Outcomes
研究了正式决策结构与非正式管理风格对组织成员结果的影响，发现风格比结构影响更大，并讨论了二者关系及对组织发展的启示。
The relationship between "formal" decision-making structure and "informal" supervisory style and their joint effects on organization member outcomes is examined in a sample of 1000 organization members in a matched sample of ten formally participative organizations and ten matched counterparts of conventional hierarchical design. Both style and structure are found to have significant effects on member outcomes. Style has a more powerful effect on member outcomes than structure. The relationship between supervisory style and decision-making structure is discussed and the implications for organizational development are examined.
