The Essential Impact of Context on Organizational Behavior
指出研究者对情境在组织行为中的影响认识不足,定义了情境为影响行为发生、意义及变量关系的情境机会与约束,并提出了两种分析层次。
I argue that the impact of context on organizational behavior is not sufficiently recognized or appreciated by researchers. I define context as situational opportunities and constraints that affect the occurrence and meaning of organizational behavior as well as functional relationships between variables, and I propose two levels of analysis for thinking about context–one grounded in journalistic practice and the other in classic social psychology. Several means of contextualizing research are considered.
