Dressing Up Like an Organization: When Psychological Theories Can Explain Organizational Action
探讨心理学理论如何用于解释组织行动，指出宏观行动常是微观行为的伪装，并讨论微观研究如何应用于宏观问题，提供具体例子。
This article explores how psychological theories can be used to explain organizational action. It starts by noting that many macro actions may in fact be micro behavior in disguise. It is argued that psychological models are relevant when individuals are able to influence organizational action, when individuallevel processes mediate organizational actions, and when theories of human behavior serve as a metaphor for the action of organizations. Once these arguments are posed, how micro research might actually be applied to macro problems is then discussed and specific examples of such "macropsycho logical research" are provided.
