Collective friend group reactions to organizational change: A field theory approach
将场理论与社会网络视角结合，研究发现朋友圈中对组织变革沟通质量的感知会集体共享，并直接影响集体工作绩效，同时通过变革历史产生交互作用。
Summary This paper integrates field theory with a social network perspective to show that perceptions of the quality of the organization's change communication become collectively shared in friend groups, and that these collective perceptions positively influence collective job performance in those friend groups. Findings from two studies show that these collective perceptions influence collective performance both directly and by interacting with change history in friend groups. The results extend theory by highlighting the importance of friendships as a mechanism for change recipient reactions becoming collectively shared. The findings further suggest that collective histories and communication perceptions play a vital role in collective job performance during change. Practical implications and directions for future research are also discussed.
