Organic Structure, Satisfaction, and Personality
实地研究发现,群体结构的有机性(灵活性)与成员的高层次需求满意度正相关,且个体对有机性高低结构的反应受其人格特质类型和强度的影响,有机结构对高自信需求者有激励作用。
Taking the position that member satisfaction is an important outcome of organizational activity, this paper reports a field study of the relationships between a group structural variable (organicity), higher-order need satisfaction, and individual differences in personality traits. Satisfaction is positively associated with organicity. The responses of individuals to group structures higher or lower in organicity are mediated by trait type and trait strength. Organic group structure is a potential "motivator" of people with strong assertive needs.
