Values and Organizational Structure
研究了组织价值观与结构的关系，以加拿大业余体育组织为样本，发现精英价值观与制度规定的组织原型之间存在匹配。
Recent developments in organizational theory emphasize the need to examine the relationship between organizational values and structure. Values underpin organizational structure and give it meaning. Drawing on concepts of culture, institutional theory, and archetypes, this paper tests hypotheses on the value/structure relationship. The sample used for the study was a set of Canadian amateur sport organizations undergoing institutional change. This test shows that there is a fit between elite values and the nature of the institutionally prescribed organizational archetype.
