Organizational Goals, Outcomes, and the Assessment of Performance: Reconceptualizing Success in Management Studies
系统回顾了组织目标、结果与绩效评估的研究,提出整合框架,并建议从目标实现、目标多样性、多层面动态及目标治理四个方向推进未来研究,帮助学者重新思考管理中的成功定义。
Abstract We revisit the study of organizational goals, outcomes, and assessment of performance that together define the process leading to ‘success’. We begin by conducting a systematic review of existing research which allows us to develop an integrative framework discussing this large body of work. We then describe contemporary research examples in light of our proposed framework. We close by proposing four new areas to continue to advance the field: reconceptualizing performance (and success) as achievement of goals; diversity of goal systems in research designs, and their relationship with the purpose of an organization; multilevel and temporal dynamics; and governance of goal setting. Overall, our efforts inform future research on organizational success in the context of our new societal challenges and accomplish the intriguing task of re‐defining success in management studies.
