Selectivity in Organizational Rule Violations
研究发现,当绩效低于预期时,组织更可能违规,且这种违规具有选择性,取决于规则特性(如可执行性、程序强调、关联性)和情境条件(如结构保密性、违规与结果的耦合)。
Organizational rule violations are more likely when performance falls below aspiration levels. We propose that such violations are systematically selective and that this selectivity emerges during the problemistic search for solutions to the performance shortfall. During this search, contextual conditions (structural secrecy and coupling between violations and outcomes) and characteristics of rules (enforceability, procedural emphasis, and connectedness) direct attention and shape risk perceptions. Consequently, some rules are more likely to be violated than others.
