Threats and Responses in Organizational Research
为组织学者提供了一个研究威胁与应对的框架，区分了企业常面临的威胁类型，并开发了描述管理者如何评估和应对威胁的概念，还引入了保护动机理论和整合威胁理论等跨学科理论。
In recent years, executives and their employees have faced a wide range of threats to, and within, their organization. We put forward a framework that organizational scholars can use to position their ideas within the literature on threats and responses. We delineate different types of threats that firms often face. We also develop a set of constructs that, taken together, can be useful for describing how managers assess threats and how they might react to them. In addition, we identify several theories that explain organizational threats and responses, including two (protection motivation theory and integrated threat theory) that have proven useful in other disciplines but have yet to take hold in management studies. Lastly, we offer examples of how to expand extant theories to the domain of organizational threats and conclude with a call for research on threats and responses in organizational research.
