Through the eyes of the involved: the extent to which different types of influence shape public employed frontline professionals’ perception of involvement in organizational decision-making
本文提出理论模型，解释一线专业人员如何通过权衡收益和交易成本形成对参与组织决策的感知。一项对600多名初级医生的调查实验发现，无论决策与日常工作的距离如何，他们都认为咨询是最有益的影响形式。
This article offers a theoretical model on how frontline professionals form their perception of being involved in organizational decision-making by balancing perceived benefits and transaction costs of increased influence. The model suggests that frontline professionals find consultation most beneficial for decisions that are distal from their daily work tasks and prefer joint decision-making for decisions that are proximal to their daily work tasks. Results from a survey experiment with more than 600 public employed junior physicians reveal that, regardless of the proximity of the organizational decision, they perceive consultation as the most beneficial form of influence in organizational decision-making.
