Coordination as Energy-in-Conversation
提出协调即对话中的能量理论,解释人们在协调中如何产生和消耗能量,以及能量如何影响协调努力和活动投入,为理解相互依赖情境下的绩效提供新视角。
Coordination is the process people use to create, adapt, and re-create organizations. We propose a theory of coordination as energy-in-conversation to help organizational scholars comprehend the emotional and motivational dynamics of coordination. Our model describes how people generate and diminish their energy in their attempts to coordinate, how this energy affects attempts to coordinate, and how coordinating affects the effort devoted to the activities in the process. This account of the coordination process presents a new approach for understanding performance in interdependent situations.
