Human Resource Department Power and Influence Through Symbolic Action
整合权力、政治和社会建构理论，通过对242家组织的调查发现，象征性行动比工会化、HR绩效和高层态度更能预测HR部门的权力。
The present study integrates theory and research on power, politics, and social constructionism to investigate how human resource (HR) departments in organizations gain influence. Survey results from 242 organizations demonstrated that symbolic actions are stronger predictors of HR department power than unionization, HR performance, and top management attitudes. Implications of the results are discussed as are directions for future research.
