Organizational Behavior: The Central Role of Motivation
这篇综述提出组织行为学应聚焦个体在组织中的行为而非情感反应,从动机理论出发分析目标、反馈、归因等前因及绩效后果,并讨论对研究者和实践者的启示。
This review of the organizational behavior literature posits that the prime research focus should be the behavior of individuals in organizational settings rather than their affective reactions to those settings. Individual behavior is discussed in terms of motivation theory, with emphasis on the antecedents of goals and goal acceptance, feedback, and attributions, and on the consequences of performance. Factors such as leadership and job design are viewed as affecting behavior through their effects on motivation. The implications of the motivational modelfor researchers and practitioners are discussed.
