不同主体层次中组织知识转化的影响因素研究

基于不同主体层次中组织知识转化的影响因素及其研究假设,采用向每个样本企业发放三份调查问卷的方式获得相关的数据,进行深入地实证分析发现:需求-激励-联系是影响组织知识转化的最主要因素,信任和学习起到一种调节及保障的作用,而我国企业的组织知识嵌入程度不高;不同所有制企业之间在组织知识转化影响因素上不存在显著差异,但是各主体层次中的知识转化过程差异性显著;需求-激励-联系和学习对各个主体层次中知识转化都具有显著的正向影响,信任对个人层次知识转化具有显著的正向影响,而对团队和组织层次知识转化没有显著影响,嵌入对各主体层次知识转化都没有任何的显著影响。     

复杂变化环境下人的学习能力：概念、模型、测量及影响

本文主要研究企业复杂变化环境下个人的持续学习能力及其对其绩效的影响。个人是组织学习/团队学习的最小单位和学习型组织/学习型团队中的重要主体。本文首先对个人学习的文献进行了简要回顾总结,然后提出个人学习的定义,基于作者以前的组织学习模型建立了个人学习的九种行为和能力要素,开发了个人学习能力的定义和测量问卷模型(ILCQ)。采用来自企业的244个样本数据进行了统计分析,表明所建立的个人学习能力的测量模型具有好的信度和效度,并初步发现了个人学习能力与个人任务绩效和情景绩效之间均具有显著的正相关关系。希望这一研究为今后个人学习的深入研究建立概念、测量和逻辑关系基础。     

个人人际网络特征对虚拟团队成员绩效影响的实证研究

在对社会网络理论和虚拟团队相关文献进行深入检索和分析的基础上,归纳出网络结构(稀疏性、中心性)和知识多样性等个人人际网络特征变量,提出影响虚拟团队成员绩效(总体绩效和创新绩效)的4项假设.然后,对日本电报电话公司移动通信网分公司内部"MAGIC"项目小组的绩效问题进行了实证研究,假设得到验证.研究结果表明,网络结构和知识多样性对个人绩效存在显著的促进作用,可为高科技企业中类似的虚拟团队员工的绩效管理提供参考.     

顾客不公平交往行为对员工工作绩效的多层次影响

本文应用情感事件理论和道义性公平理论,同时在个人层次和团队层次上探讨顾客不公平行为,以及员工对顾客不公平行为的集体感知——团队不公平氛围的水平与强度,对员工工作情绪、工作绩效及团队绩效的影响。作者运用结构方程模型和多层线性模型技术,对广东某电话服务中心44个团队568名话务员及主管的调研数据进行分析,结果表明,在个人层次上,顾客不公平行为会触发员工的负面情绪,抵消员工的正面情绪;员工的正面情绪对其工作绩效有显著的正向影响。在团队层次上,团队不公平氛围水平对员工正面情绪与工作绩效的关系有负向调节作用;氛围强度(同一团队的员工对顾客不公平感知的一致性程度)对团队工作绩效有正向影响。     

最佳人力资源管理实践、员工行为与企业绩效的关系研究

本文首先建立中国企业最佳人力资源管理实践、员工行为与企业绩效三者关系的理论模型;然后,设计调查问卷,调研不同的中国企业;再运用因子分析法对问卷的信度和效度进行检验,并进一步分析三者之间的相关程度;最后运用层次分析法验证员工行为的中介效用。研究结果表明:有效招募、培训开发、员工参与、雇佣安全、合理薪酬、公平机制、自我管理的团队均是中国企业的最佳人力资源管理实践,最佳人力资源管理实践与员工行为显著正相关,员工行为是最佳人力资源管理实践与企业绩效之间的中介变量。     

工作幸福感对员工创新绩效的影响机制——一个多层次被调节的中介模型

本研究通过问卷调查我国企业73个工作团队的主管及其355个下属,从个体自我表征理论和情境力量理论相整合的视角,构建了一个多层次被调节的中介模型,以探讨员工的工作幸福感与创新绩效的关系。实证结果表明,组织自尊在工作幸福感和创新绩效之间起中介作用,但内部人身份感知在工作幸福感和创新绩效之间没有起中介作用;交易型领导对员工的组织自尊与创新绩效关系以及对员工的工作幸福感通过组织自尊影响创新绩效的间接效应均具有跨层次的负向调节作用,但它对员工的内部人身份感知与创新绩效关系,以及对员工的工作幸福感通过内部人身份感知影响创新绩效的间接效应均没有显著的跨层次调节作用。这些结论对于我国企业提升员工创新绩效的管理实践具有重要启示。

Economic Liberalization and the Antecedents of Top Management Teams: Evidence From Turkish ‘Big’ Business

There has been an increased interest in the last two decades in top management teams (TMTs) of business firms. Much of the research, however, has been US‐based and concerned primarily with TMT effects on organizational outcomes. The present study aims to expand this literature by examining the antecedents of top team composition in the context of macro‐level economic change in a late‐industrializing country. The post‐1980 trade and market reforms in Turkey provided the empirical setting. Drawing upon the literatures on TMT and chief executive characteristics together with punctuated equilibrium models of change and institutional theory, the article develops the argument that which firm‐level factors affect which attributes of TMT formations varies across the early and late stages of economic liberalization. Results of the empirical investigation of 71 of the largest industrial firms in Turkey broadly supported the hypotheses derived from this premise. In the early stages of economic liberalization the average age and average organizational tenure of TMTs were related to the export orientation of firms, whereas in later stages, firm performance became a major predictor of these team attributes. Educational background characteristics of teams appeared to be under stronger institutional pressures, altering in different ways in the face of macro‐level change.

A learning perspective on the offshoring of advanced services

Based on longitudinal case studies of offshoring of advanced IT and engineering services from Danish firms to Indian firms, this paper explores organizational learning that occurs over time in both home and host firms and uses learning as a measure of the firm impact of advanced services offshoring. The findings are consistent with the theoretical view that advanced services offshoring must be understood as an antecedent for strategic business development and organizational change in both home and host firms. The study shows that when offshoring partnerships mature and firms gain experience, learning in both home and host firms evolves over time and differs in many cases from their initial objectives and expectations. In some of the Danish firms engaging in offshoring even ignites a process of strategic transformation. Both Danish and Indian firms use the input from their offshoring partnership to upgrade their organizations and business processes.     

HRM系统、竞争战略与企业绩效关系的实证研究

战略人力资源管理理论认为人力资源管理(HRM)系统和企业竞争战略之间的匹配关系会对企业绩效产生影响.通过类型学和分类学两条主线归纳并总结了关于 HRM 系统及其与企业绩效关系的研究,提出了 HRM 系统、竞争战略与企业绩效关系的假说,并以133家样本企业为研究对象,对理论假说进行了检验.研究发现,采取内部型 HRM 形态的企业的绩效高于采取市场型 HRM 形态的企业;环境特征(产业技术变革、劳动力市场竞争)对 HRM 系统形态与企业绩效关系的调节效应仅得到部分支持,而企业规模的调节效用没有得到支持;企业的竞争战略对人力资源战略选择的影响很小;HRM 系统与竞争战略匹配企业的绩效高于没有匹配企业的假说没有得到支持.最后,对研究结论进行了讨论,分析了其局限性和未来研究建议.     

From Entrepreneurial Orientation and Learning Orientation to Business Performance: Analysing the Mediating Role of Organizational Learning and the Moderating Effects of Organizational Size

Following the organizational learning theory and the knowledge‐based view approach, this contribution aims to study the influence of entrepreneurial orientation and learning orientation on organizational learning, considering the latter as a mediating variable in the relationships between both antecedent cultural values and business performance. We also analyse the moderating role of organizational size on these previous relationships. The hypotheses proposed in our research model are tested on a sample of 140 Spanish industrial companies, applying variance‐based structural equation modelling: partial least squares. In order to assess the moderating effects of organizational size, we adopt a multi‐group approach using two subsamples with large firms and small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs). Our findings indicate that organizational learning partially mediates the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and performance and fully mediates the link between learning orientation and performance. Likewise, the results reveal that the relationship established between entrepreneurial orientation and organizational learning is more intense for the group of large firms than for the group of SMEs. Moreover, the influence of learning orientation on organizational learning is greater in SMEs than in large firms.     

Remote control: measuring performance for value creation and governance of globally distributed knowledge work

This article examines the governance of globally distributed knowledge work. To measure performance in knowledge work, it is important to focus on what the knowledge workers do and hence view knowledge as something one does, namely the practices, instead of something one has. By following the practices of knowledge work, it was possible to evaluate the effect of measures related to organizational processes, and identify what was not well covered by the measurement tool. Strategic and long term needs such as learning and employee competence are better managed through projects. This article shows how work performance in international organizations needs two different measures: one tool for measuring short-term value creation linked to the organizational processes; and, one tool for measuring long-term value creation linked to the practices of service work made in projects. Global governance of distributed employees is therefore successfully managed through key performance measures and through understanding projects through their multiple contributions, at both an individual and an organizational level. Global long term governance needs are strategic for the entire firm. The paper rests on an in-depth empirical case study of an international professional service firm.     

Collective voice mechanisms,HRM practices and organizational performance in Italian manufacturing firms

The literature on employee voice has grown enormously over the past decades. However, the relationships between different employee voice mechanisms and organizational performance are far from being fully understood, and the existing research shows mixed evidence. Moreover, the HRM literature tends to concentrate on individual voice mechanisms (e.g. employee involvement) and to underestimate the role that collective voice may have in the HRM performance relationship. This paper aims to analyze how collective employee voice mechanisms (i.e. union voice and team voice) affect organizational productivity and how these relationships vary when voice mechanisms are adopted in combination with other HRM practices (i.e. variable pay, training, performance appraisals and multitasking). The analysis of a sample of 223 Italian manufacturing firms matched with an external database (AIDA) containing balance sheet information found that union voice is positively related to labor productivity, while team voice does not show any significant relationship with labor productivity. Moreover, both union and team voice have important moderation effects in the HRM-performance relationship. Union voice moderates positively the relationship between variable pay and performance and negatively the relationship between training and performance. Team voice positively moderates the relationship between training and performance. The implications of these findings are discussed.     

Do Human Resource Practices Enhance Organizational Commitment in SMEs with Low Employee Satisfaction?

This paper considers a large matched employee–employer data set to estimate a model of organizational commitment. In particular, it focuses on the role of firm size and management formality to explain organizational commitment in British small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) with high and low levels of employee satisfaction. It is shown that size ‘in itself’ can explain differences in organizational commitment, and that organizational commitment tends to be higher in organizations with high employee satisfaction compared with organizations of similar size with low employee satisfaction. Crucially, the results suggest that formal human resource (HR) practices can be used as important tools to increase commitment and thus, potentially, effort and performance within underperforming SMEs with low employee satisfaction. However, formal HR practices commonly used by large firms may be unnecessary in SMEs which benefit from high employee satisfaction and positive employment relations within a context of informality.     

A Comparative Analysis of Quality Practice in Manufacturing Firms in the U.S. and Taiwan*

The aim of this paper is to determine if there is a causal relationship between multivariate constructs for quality (i.e., customer satisfaction, employee satisfaction, and employee service quality) and organizational performance. The presence of such relationships, as well as the identification of key indicators within each quality construct for different types of firms, are explored in this empirical study on the perceptions of middle managers in Taiwan and the United States. The study found a significant causal relationship between the quality constructs and organizational performance. These relationships are different, however, for the four types of firms based on age and size. Also, within the same firm types, there are differences among countries. For example, for older firms, Taiwanese managers tend to perceive customer satisfaction as the most important quality construct in improving organizational performance, while U.S. managers tend to perceive employee satisfaction as the most important. For younger firms, U.S. managers perceive customer satisfaction as influencing organizational performance, while Taiwanese managers perceive both customer satisfaction and employee satisfaction as doing so. A further breakdown of the quality constructs identified the key indicators within each construct that separates “better performers'’from “lesser performers'’in both countries for the four types of firms. These indicators are dissimilar, thus suggesting that focus on quality constructs may lead to improvements in organizational performance by focusing on different indicators in different environments. These results have implications for the adoption and implementation of quality practices in different countries.
