BEYOND INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL: A DYADIC THEORY OF RELATIONAL ATTRIBUTIONS.
提出组织中的人际互动常导致一种新的归因类型:关系归因,并构建了其前因及对关系质量影响的二元理论,对理解组织内人际关系有重要价值。
Attribution theory argues that people assess the locus of causality of achievementrelevant events as either internal or external.Given the frequency of interpersonal interactions in organizations, we posit that a third category-relational attributionsmay be used.Drawing on relational perspectives, we lay the conceptual foundation and develop a dyadic theory of relational attributions, proposing their antecedents and linking them to relationship-focused behaviors, which influence the quality of interpersonal links within organizations.
