Learning requires acquiring and using knowledge. How do individuals acquire knowledge of another culture? How do they use this knowledge in order to operate proficiently in a new cultural setting? What kinds of training would foster intercultural learning? These questions have been addressed in many literatures of applied and basic research, featuring disparate concepts, methods and measures. In this paper, we review the insights from these different literatures. We note parallels among findings of survey research on immigrants, expatriate managers, and exchange students. We also draw on experiment-based research on learning to propose the cognitive processes involved in intercultural learning. In the first section, we focus on acquiring cultural knowledge, reviewing longstanding literatures on immigrant acculturation and expatriate adjustment investigating antecedents of intercultural adjustment and performance. In the second section, we focus on displaying proficiency, examining how newcomers to a cultural setting deploy their knowledge of it in order to adjust their behavior and judgments. We draw upon findings about individual differences and situational conditions that predict performance to suggest training for optimal use of cultural knowledge by adapting behaviors and judgments according to situational factors.

学习需要获取和使用知识。个人如何获得另一种文化的知识?他们如何运用这些知识,以便在新的文化环境中熟练地工作?什么样的培训能促进跨文化学习?这些问题在许多应用研究和基础研究的文献中都有涉及,但概念、方法和措施各不相同。在本文中,我们回顾了这些不同文献的见解。我们注意到对移民、外籍管理人员和交换学生的调查研究结果之间的相似之处。我们还利用基于实验的学习研究来提出跨文化学习中涉及的认知过程。在第一部分中,我们将重点关注文化知识的获取,回顾长期以来关于移民文化适应和外籍人士适应的文献,调查跨文化适应和表现的前因。在第二部分中,我们着重于展示熟练程度,研究新来者如何利用他们的文化背景知识来调整他们的行为和判断。我们根据预测表现的个体差异和情境条件的研究结果,建议根据情境因素调整行为和判断,以最佳地利用文化知识。

System justification in organizational contexts: How a Motivated preference for the status quo can affect organizational attitudes and behaviors 组织背景下的系统辩护:对现状的动机偏好如何影响组织的态度和行为

In this chapter, we put forth the premise that people's motivated tendency to justify and defend their external systems has important, and largely unexplored, implications for the field of organizational behavior. Drawing on recent theoretical and empirical work emerging from System Justification Theory (Jost & Banaji, 1994), we propose that people's desire to view prevailing structural arrangements in a positive light may uniquely contribute to our understanding of the psychology of people in organizational settings. We begin by specifically highlighting System Justification Theory's implications for: organizational change, employee citizenship behaviors, and integration of a diverse workforce. We then review empirical work on the situations in which people's system-justification motive is likely to be particularly pronounced and discuss how these situations may manifest in organizational contexts. Following this, we describe several streams of research on the consequences of the system-justification motive, with a focus on the implications of these findings for organizational members’ perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors in the workplace.

在本章中,我们提出了一个前提,即人们为外部系统辩护和辩护的动机倾向对组织行为学领域具有重要的、很大程度上未被探索的影响。借鉴最近从制度正当化理论(Jost &Banaji, 1994),我们提出,人们希望从积极的角度看待现行的结构安排,这可能对我们理解组织环境中人们的心理有独特的贡献。我们首先特别强调系统辩护理论的含义:组织变革、员工公民行为和多元化劳动力的整合。然后,我们回顾了关于人们的系统辩护动机可能特别明显的情况的实证工作,并讨论了这些情况如何在组织环境中表现出来。在此之后,我们描述了关于系统辩护动机的结果的几个研究流,重点关注这些发现对组织成员在工作场所的感知、态度和行为的影响。

Over the past generation, sexual minorities—particularly lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons—have gained increased visibility in the public arena. Yet organizational research has lagged behind in recognizing and studying this category of organizational members. This article offers a critical review of this growing body of research. More specifically, we identify and discuss four dominant scholarly frames that have informed LGBT organizational research from the late nineteenth century to date. The frames include a “medical abnormality,” “deviant social role,” “collective identity,” and “social distinctiveness” view of sexual minorities. We argue that these frames have profoundly shaped the scope and range of organizational scholarship devoted to sexual minorities by showing that scholars using such contrasted frames have been drawn to very different research questions with respect to sexual minorities. We document and discuss the main and contrasted questions asked within each of these frames and show how they have both enabled and constrained LGBT organizational research. We conclude by calling for more attention to the frames organizational scholars adopt when studying sexual minorities, but also for more research on both minority and majority sexual orientations in organizations.

在过去的一代人中,性少数群体——尤其是女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋和变性人(LGBT)——在公共舞台上获得了越来越多的关注。然而,组织研究对这类组织成员的认识和研究相对滞后。本文对这一日益增长的研究领域进行了批判性的回顾。更具体地说,我们确定并讨论了四个主要的学术框架,这些框架从19世纪末到今天一直影响着LGBT组织研究。这些框架包括对性少数群体的“医学异常”、“越轨社会角色”、“集体认同”和“社会独特性”观点。我们认为,这些框架深刻地塑造了致力于性少数群体的组织学术的范围和范围,表明使用这种对比框架的学者已经被吸引到关于性少数群体的非常不同的研究问题上。我们记录并讨论了这些框架中提出的主要问题和对比问题,并展示了它们是如何促进和限制LGBT组织研究的。最后,我们呼吁更多地关注组织学者在研究性少数群体时所采用的框架,并对组织中少数群体和多数群体的性取向进行更多的研究。

An enormous amount of research on person perception exists. This literature documents how people form impressions of one another and how these impressions influence behavior. However, this literature surprisingly has not been extended to people perception—how people visually perceive and judge groups (e.g., teams, classrooms, boards, crowds) rather than individuals. We propose a model of people perception processes, including three stages of Selection, Extraction, and Application (the SEA model). We integrate this model with literature from organizational, social, cognitive, and visual sciences to describe the important role of people perception in organizational and social behavior. We focus our discussion on organizational and social phenomena such as group tone, group hierarchy, and group evaluation.

关于人的感知存在着大量的研究。这些文献记录了人们如何形成彼此的印象,以及这些印象如何影响行为。然而,令人惊讶的是,这些文献并没有扩展到人们的感知——人们如何在视觉上感知和判断群体(如团队、教室、董事会、人群)而不是个人。我们提出了一个人的感知过程模型,包括选择、提取和应用三个阶段(SEA模型)。我们将这个模型与来自组织科学、社会科学、认知科学和视觉科学的文献结合起来,描述人们感知在组织和社会行为中的重要作用。我们将重点讨论组织和社会现象,如群体语气、群体等级和群体评价。

We examine the challenges of governance facing organizations that pursue a social mission through the use of market mechanisms. These hybrid organizations, often referred to as social enterprises, combine aspects of both charity and business at their core. In this paper we distinguish between two ideal types of such hybrids, differentiated and integrated, and we conceptualize two key challenges of governance they face: accountability for dual performance objectives and accountability to multiple principal stakeholders. We revisit the potential and limitations of recently introduced legal forms to address these challenges. We then theorize about the importance of organizational governance and the role of governing boards in particular, in prioritizing and aligning potentially conflicting objectives and interests in order to avoid mission drift and to maintain organizational hybridity in social enterprises. Finally, we discuss future research directions and the implications of this work for rethinking traditional categories of organizations, namely business and charity.

我们研究了通过使用市场机制来追求社会使命的组织所面临的治理挑战。这些混合组织通常被称为社会企业,其核心是慈善和商业的结合。在本文中,我们区分了两种理想的混合类型,差异化和集成,并概念化了它们面临的两个关键治理挑战:双重绩效目标的问责制和对多个主要利益相关者的问责制。我们重新审视最近引入的法律形式的潜力和局限性,以应对这些挑战。然后,我们对组织治理的重要性以及管理委员会的作用进行了理论化,特别是在优先考虑和协调潜在冲突的目标和利益方面,以避免使命漂移并保持社会企业的组织混合性。最后,我们讨论了未来的研究方向,以及本工作对重新思考传统组织类别(即商业和慈善)的启示。

Moral character: What it is and what it does 道德品质:它是什么,它做什么

Moral character can be conceptualized as an individual's disposition to think, feel, and behave in an ethical versus unethical manner, or as the subset of individual differences relevant to morality. This essay provides an organizing framework for understanding moral character and its relationship to ethical and unethical work behaviors. We present a tripartite model for understanding moral character, with the idea that there are motivational, ability, and identity elements. The motivational element is consideration of others – referring to a disposition toward considering the needs and interests of others, and how one's own actions affect other people. The ability element is self-regulation – referring to a disposition toward regulating one's behavior effectively, specifically with reference to behaviors that have positive short-term consequences but negative long-term consequences for oneself or others. The identity element is moral identity—referring to a disposition toward valuing morality and wanting to view oneself as a moral person. After unpacking what moral character is, we turn our attention to what moral character does, with a focus on how it influences unethical behavior, situation selection, and situation creation. Our research indicates that the impact of moral character on work outcomes is significant and consequential, with important implications for research and practice in organizational behavior.

道德品质可以被概念化为个体以道德与不道德的方式思考、感受和行为的倾向,或者作为与道德相关的个体差异的子集。本文为理解道德品质及其与道德和不道德工作行为的关系提供了一个组织框架。我们提出了一个理解道德品质的三方模型,认为有动机、能力和身份因素。动机因素是考虑他人——指的是考虑他人需求和利益的倾向,以及自己的行为如何影响他人。能力要素是自我调节——指的是有效调节自己行为的倾向,特别是指那些对自己或他人有短期积极后果但长期消极后果的行为。认同因素是道德认同——指的是一种重视道德的倾向,并希望将自己视为一个有道德的人。在解释了什么是道德品质之后,我们将注意力转向道德品质的作用,重点是它如何影响不道德行为、情境选择和情境创造。我们的研究表明,道德品质对工作成果的影响是显著的,对组织行为学的研究和实践具有重要意义。

Morality rebooted: Exploring simple fixes to our moral bugs 道德重新启动:探索简单的修复我们的道德缺陷

Ethics research developed partly in response to calls from organizations to understand and solve unethical behavior. We examine two approaches to mitigating unethical behavior: (1) values-oriented approaches that broadly appeal to individuals’ preferences to be more moral, and (2) structure-oriented approaches that redesign specific incentives, tasks, and decisions to reduce temptations to cheat in the environment. This paper explores how these approaches can change behavior. We argue that integrating both approaches while avoiding incompatible strategies can reduce the risk of adverse effects that arise from taking a single approach and leverage the strengths of both approaches.

伦理研究的发展部分是为了响应组织对理解和解决不道德行为的呼吁。我们研究了两种减轻不道德行为的方法:(1)以价值观为导向的方法,这种方法广泛地呼吁个人更道德的偏好;(2)以结构为导向的方法,这种方法重新设计了特定的激励、任务和决策,以减少环境中欺骗的诱惑。本文探讨了这些方法如何改变行为。我们认为,整合两种方法,同时避免不相容的策略,可以减少因采取单一方法而产生的不利影响的风险,并利用两种方法的优势。

Social sexual behavior at work 工作中的社会性行为

Organizational leaders and scholars have long regarded social sexual behavior in the workplace as deviant, harassing in nature, and something that organizations must eliminate to ensure maximal performance. Regardless of this perspective, however, social sexual behavior is an inescapable feature of human interaction that cannot be completely controlled in organizations. Moreover, there are many aspects of social sexual behavior that have not been considered or granted enough research attention to entirely warrant the broad assumption that social sexual behavior is always problematic to organizations and individuals. In the current paper, we highlight these under-researched or ignored facets of social sexual behavior. First, we consider the potential buffering effects that consensual social sexual behavior at work can offer to those involved, in terms of protecting them from the negative impact of workplace stressors. Next, we discuss the ways in which social sexual behavior is used as a tool of social influence at work. Finally, we consider the role of social sexual behavior at work as a precursor to the development of romantic relationships among employees. Throughout this discussion, we highlight both the potential benefits and drawbacks of engaging in social sexual behavior at work rather than adopting the perspective that all social sexual behavior at work is harmful. We encourage future research to consider all angles when investigating social sexual behavior at work, so as not to be completely detached from the reality that social sexual behavior can be consensual and sometimes enjoyed.

长期以来,组织领导者和学者一直认为,工作场所的社会性行为是越轨的,本质上是骚扰,是组织必须消除的,以确保最大的绩效。然而,不管这种观点如何,社会性行为是人类互动中不可避免的特征,在组织中无法完全控制。此外,社会性行为的许多方面尚未被考虑或给予足够的研究关注,以完全保证社会性行为对组织和个人总是有问题的广泛假设。在本文中,我们强调了这些研究不足或被忽视的社会性行为方面。首先,我们考虑了在工作中双方同意的社会性行为可以为相关人员提供的潜在缓冲效应,以保护他们免受工作压力源的负面影响。接下来,我们将讨论社会性行为在工作中被用作社会影响工具的方式。最后,我们认为工作中的社会性行为是员工之间发展浪漫关系的前兆。在整个讨论中,我们强调了在工作中从事社会性行为的潜在好处和缺点,而不是采用所有工作中的社会性行为都是有害的观点。我们鼓励未来的研究在调查工作中的社会性行为时考虑所有角度,以免完全脱离现实,即社会性行为可以是双方自愿的,有时还可以享受。

We encourage future research to consider all angles when investigating social sexual behavior at work, so as not to be completely detached from the reality that social sexual behavior <em>can be</em> consensual and sometimes enjoyed.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":56178,"journal":{"name":"Research in Organizational Behavior","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.riob.2014.02.001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"55074506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Freeing organizational behavior from inhibitory constraints 将组织行为从抑制约束中解放出来

Many organizational policies and practices are based on the view that people's behavior needs to be inhibited to protect against their selfish basic nature. Indeed, a fundamental assumption of theories ranging from social exchange to economic models of organizational behavior is that individuals are primarily oriented to gain good outcomes for themselves. This chapter describes a program of research that raises serious questions about these ideas by showing that disinhibition—prompted by reminding people of times when they behaved without worrying about what others thought—can often lead to more helping behavior, decisions for the greater good in response to dilemma problems, and greater rejection of self-advantageous unfairness. These findings suggest that most people are fundamentally pro-social, interested in securing good outcomes for both themselves and others. This pro-social attitude manifests itself more readily in actual behavior and attitudes when the person in question is freed from some of his or her inhibition. These findings have implications for how one might enhance the full potential of employees in organizations, stimulate helping and creative behavior in teams, improve decision making in organizations, and how we should understand reactions to organizational change.

许多组织的政策和实践都是基于这样一种观点,即人们的行为需要被抑制,以防止他们自私的本性。事实上,从社会交换到组织行为的经济模型,各种理论的一个基本假设是,个人的主要目标是为自己获得良好的结果。这一章描述了一个研究项目,通过表明解除抑制——通过提醒人们在不关心别人想法的情况下行事——通常会导致更多的帮助行为,在应对困境问题时做出更大的决定,以及更强烈地拒绝自利的不公平,从而对这些观点提出了严肃的问题。这些发现表明,大多数人从根本上是亲社会的,对确保自己和他人的良好结果感兴趣。这种亲社会的态度更容易在实际行为和态度中表现出来,当这个人从他或她的一些抑制中解脱出来时。这些发现对如何在组织中充分发挥员工的潜力,激发团队中的帮助和创造性行为,改善组织中的决策制定,以及我们应该如何理解对组织变革的反应具有启示意义。

Chemicals, companies, and countries: The concept of diffusion in management research 化学品、公司和国家:管理研究中的扩散概念

In the field of organizational behavior, the term “diffusion” has come to be implicitly paired with the concept of innovation and a peculiar set of conceptual choices. We explore how this came about, and examine the evolution of the concept “diffusion” from its inception in the English language through its use in the natural and social sciences to its current meaning in organizational research. A sensemaking perspective on researchers’ cognition helps us explain the changing meaning of the concept, and alerts researchers to the subtle but far-reaching effects of revisions in a field's conceptual language. Even though the field of organizational studies ostensibly treats diffusion as a neutral phenomenon, it implicitly narrates diffusion as a mechanical and positive process that should be welcomed and encouraged. The implications of this reframing become even more important with the increasing focus on innovation in recent diffusion studies. The diffusion of new products among consumers and the diffusion of market institutions around the world are things of a rather different nature and consequence, but treating them as implicitly equivalent “innovations” that “diffuse” naturalizes and hence legitimates them. We conclude by noting implications of our findings for exploring the evolution of meaning for other concepts, and their utilization in research on organizations.

在组织行为学领域,“扩散”一词已被含蓄地与创新概念和一组特殊的概念选择联系在一起。我们探讨了这是如何产生的,并研究了“扩散”这个概念的演变,从它在英语中的开始,到它在自然科学和社会科学中的使用,再到它在组织研究中的当前含义。从研究人员认知的角度来理解语义有助于我们解释概念意义的变化,并提醒研究人员注意一个领域概念语言的修订所产生的微妙而深远的影响。尽管组织研究领域表面上将扩散视为一种中性现象,但它隐含地将扩散描述为一种应该受到欢迎和鼓励的机械和积极的过程。随着最近扩散研究中对创新的日益关注,这种重构的含义变得更加重要。新产品在消费者之间的扩散和市场制度在世界各地的扩散是具有相当不同性质和后果的事情,但将它们视为隐含等同的“创新”,“扩散”使它们自然化并因此合法化。最后,我们注意到我们的发现对探索其他概念的意义演变的影响,以及它们在组织研究中的应用。
