This chapter calls attention to a paradigmatic shift in the organizational justice literature, in which fairness serves as the dependent rather than independent variable. Drawing on two taxonomic dimensions, we structure approaches to studying fairness as a consequence rather than as a cause. One dimension refers to the focal party whose reactions are being examined (the actor, the recipient, and the observer) whereas the other consists of the nature of the reaction itself (behavior, desire, and perception). We sample selectively from the nine cells emanating from the 3 × 3 classification scheme, emphasizing conceptual and empirical works that advance our understanding of fairness or connect fairness with other literatures in organizational and social psychology, such as ethics, social hierarchy, trust, self-handicapping, and construal level theory. Thus, we illustrate how the study of fairness as a dependent variable enriches not only theory and research in organizational justice, but also how it may contribute to other literatures. Additionally, we consider some of the practical implications and future research possibilities related to studying fairness as a dependent variable.

本章呼吁关注组织公正文献中的范式转变,其中公平作为依赖变量而不是自变量。利用两个分类学的维度,我们构建了将公平作为结果而不是原因来研究的方法。一个维度是指反应被检查的焦点(行动者、接受者和观察者),而另一个维度由反应本身的本质(行为、欲望和感知)组成。我们有选择地从3 × 3分类方案中产生的9个单元中取样,重点强调概念和实证工作,这些工作促进了我们对公平的理解,或将公平与组织心理学和社会心理学的其他文献(如伦理学、社会等级、信任、自我阻碍和解释水平理论)联系起来。因此,我们说明了将公平作为一个因变量的研究不仅丰富了组织公平的理论和研究,而且也可能对其他文献有所贡献。此外,我们还考虑了将公平作为因变量进行研究的一些实际意义和未来的研究可能性。

Toward a theory of business 走向商业理论

What is the purpose of business? While most agree that business minimally involves the creation of value, a blurred double image of value haunts our discussion of purpose. The image of what counts as value for a single firm is laid atop an image of what counts as value for business in general. These two images cannot match. Indeed, the resulting conceptual blurriness is a classic example of a composition fallacy. We should never mistake the properties of a part for the properties of the whole. A theory of the firm is ill equipped to handle the many expectations we hold for business practice. As such, we seek to establish the beginnings of a theory of business, one that is both empirical and normative. Offering four central propositions about the purpose, accountability, control and success of business, we close with a consideration of several important theoretical issues and practical opportunities that await us in the years ahead.

商业的目的是什么?虽然大多数人都同意商业最低限度地涉及价值的创造,但价值的模糊双重形象困扰着我们对目的的讨论。单个公司的价值形象是建立在整体商业价值形象之上的。这两个图像不能匹配。事实上,由此产生的概念模糊是构成谬误的一个经典例子。我们绝不能把局部的性质误认为整体的性质。企业理论无法处理我们对商业实践的诸多期望。因此,我们试图建立一种商业理论的开端,一种既经验又规范的理论。我们提出了关于企业的目的、责任、控制和成功的四个核心命题,最后考虑了未来几年等待我们的几个重要理论问题和实践机会。

How to motivate yourself and others? Intended and unintended consequences 如何激励自己和他人?有意和无意的后果

To achieve goals, individuals and organizations must understand how to effectively motivate themselves and others. We review three broad strategies that people employ to increase motivation: giving feedback, setting goal targets, and applying incentives. Although each of these strategies can effectively motivate action under certain circumstances and among certain people, they can also result in unintended consequences: not helping or even hurting motivation. For example, employers may give positive feedback that leads employees to relax their effort or negative feedback that undermines employees’ commitment, organizations may set goals that are overly ambitious and consequently reduce motivation, and certain incentives might appear attractive before pursuing an action but uncertain incentives better motivate action during goal pursuit. By identifying when and how these common motivational strategies work versus fail, we are able to prescribe a specific set of guidelines that will help people understand how to motivate themselves and others.

为了实现目标,个人和组织必须了解如何有效地激励自己和他人。我们回顾了人们用来增加动力的三种策略:给予反馈、设定目标和应用激励。虽然这些策略都能在特定的环境和特定的人群中有效地激发行动,但它们也会导致意想不到的后果:无助于甚至损害动机。例如,雇主可能会给予积极的反馈,导致员工放松努力,或者消极的反馈,破坏员工的承诺,组织可能会设定过于雄心勃勃的目标,从而减少动机,某些激励在追求行动之前可能看起来很有吸引力,但不确定的激励在追求目标的过程中更能激励行动。通过确定这些常见的激励策略何时以及如何起作用和失败,我们能够制定一套具体的指导方针,帮助人们了解如何激励自己和他人。

Racism and discrimination versus advantage and favoritism: Bias for versus bias against 种族主义和歧视对优势和偏袒:偏见对偏见
IF 1.8 Q4 Business, Management and Accounting Pub Date : 2015-01-01 DOI: 10.1016/j.riob.2015.10.001

Almost all academic literature across disciplines and most of the news media explain racial inequality as the result of the discrimination and racism of whites toward nonwhites. In contrast, I argue that it is the favoritism or advantages that whites provide to other whites that is the primary mechanism by which racial inequality is reproduced in the post-civil rights period in the U.S. I provide evidence for my argument with data at the individual, organizational, and societal levels. I also discuss how my argument accords with management theory about diversity and inequality, considering the literature on anti-racism, implicit or unconscious bias, micro-inequities (or micro-aggressions), the need for mentors, and white privilege. I end with a discussion of objections that might be raised with regard to my framing of racial inequality as the result of whites providing advantages to other whites, including concerns about egregious negative acts toward nonwhites. Overall, I argue that my argument that favoritism takes precedence over racism and discrimination is consistent with the research evidence in the field.

几乎所有跨学科的学术文献和大多数新闻媒体都将种族不平等解释为白人对非白人的歧视和种族主义的结果。相反,我认为白人对其他白人的偏爱或优势是美国后民权时期种族不平等重现的主要机制。我用个人、组织和社会层面的数据为我的论点提供了证据。我还讨论了我的论点如何符合关于多样性和不平等的管理理论,考虑到有关反种族主义、隐性或无意识偏见、微观不平等(或微观侵略)、对导师的需求和白人特权的文献。最后,我讨论了可能会有人提出的反对意见,这些反对意见是关于我将种族不平等定义为白人向其他白人提供优势的结果,包括对针对非白人的恶劣负面行为的担忧。总的来说,我认为我的偏爱优先于种族主义和歧视的观点与该领域的研究证据是一致的。

When, why, and how do powerholders “feel the power”? Examining the links between structural and psychological power and reviving the connection between power and responsibility 什么时候、为什么以及如何让掌权者“感受到权力”?审视结构权力和心理权力之间的联系,恢复权力和责任之间的联系

Recent research in social psychology has examined how psychological power affects organizational behaviors. Given that power in organizations is generally viewed as a structural construct, I examine the links between structural and psychological power and explore how their interrelationships affect organizational behavior. I argue that psychological power takes two forms: the (nonconscious) cognitive network for power and the conscious sense of power. Based on this view, I identify two causal pathways that link psychological power and structural power in predicting organizational behavior. First, the sense of power is likely to induce a sense of responsibility among (but not exclusively among) structural powerholders, which in turn leads structural powerholders to be more responsive to the views and needs of others. Second, the sense of power, when brought into conscious awareness, activates a non-conscious association between power and agentic behaviors, which in turn leads structural powerholders to enact agentic behaviors. I discuss the ways in which these predictions diverge from previous theorizing, and I address methodological challenges in examining the relationship between structural and psychological power. In doing so, I suggest that certain features of the predominant methodological approaches to studying psychological power may have induced a bias in the empirical findings that obscures the crucial link between power and responsibility.

最近的社会心理学研究考察了心理权力如何影响组织行为。鉴于组织中的权力通常被视为一种结构结构,我研究了结构权力和心理权力之间的联系,并探讨了它们之间的相互关系如何影响组织行为。我认为心理权力有两种形式:(无意识的)权力认知网络和有意识的权力感。基于这一观点,我确定了两条因果路径,将心理权力和结构权力联系起来,预测组织行为。首先,权力感可能会引起(但不限于)结构性权力持有者的责任感,这反过来又会导致结构性权力持有者对他人的观点和需求做出更积极的反应。其次,当权力感进入意识意识时,会激活权力和代理行为之间的无意识联系,这反过来又会导致结构性权力持有者制定代理行为。我讨论了这些预测与先前理论的不同之处,并讨论了在研究结构力量和心理力量之间关系时所面临的方法论挑战。在这样做的过程中,我认为研究心理权力的主要方法论方法的某些特征可能导致了实证研究结果的偏差,从而模糊了权力和责任之间的关键联系。

The high cost of low wages: Economic scarcity effects in organizations 低工资的高成本:组织中的经济稀缺性效应

Due to current economic circumstances (e.g., stagnating wages, increasing material aspirations, mounting student debt), an increasing number of employees are prone to experiencing economic scarcity, defined here as the perception that one has fewer financial resources than one's needs require. In this paper, we focus primarily on an under-studied population in the organizational sciences: The working poor—employees who hold jobs but do not earn enough to sustain a reasonable standard of living for themselves and their dependents. Taking into account recent research suggesting that scarcity can have profound psychological consequences, we argue that organizations have a vested interest in reducing feelings of financial deprivation among its employees because the psychology of scarcity has the potential to spill over into organizational functioning. Furthermore, we assert that most organizations’ approaches to managing low-wage work are not only ineffective at reducing the spillover effects of scarcity on organizational outcomes, but also increase their endurance because they do not account for the behavioral consequences of financial deprivation. As such, we present more sustainable initiatives through which organizations can reduce scarcity among its employees. Finally, we discuss ways in which organizational researchers can become more involved in relevant public policy debates.

由于当前的经济环境(例如,工资停滞不前,物质欲望增加,学生债务增加),越来越多的员工倾向于经历经济短缺,这里定义为一个人的财务资源少于其需求的感知。在本文中,我们主要关注组织科学中未被充分研究的人群:工作贫困的员工,他们有工作,但收入不足以维持自己和家属的合理生活水平。考虑到最近的研究表明,稀缺性可以产生深远的心理后果,我们认为,组织在减少员工的财务剥夺感方面具有既得利益,因为稀缺性心理有可能溢出到组织功能中。此外,我们断言,大多数组织管理低工资工作的方法不仅在减少稀缺性对组织结果的溢出效应方面无效,而且还增加了他们的忍耐力,因为他们没有考虑到财务剥夺的行为后果。因此,我们提出了更可持续的倡议,通过这些倡议,组织可以减少员工的稀缺。最后,我们讨论了组织研究人员可以更多地参与相关公共政策辩论的方法。

Punctuated incongruity: A new approach to managing trade-offs between conformity and deviation 间断的不一致:一种管理一致性与偏差之间权衡的新方法

Micro and macro scholars alike have long warned about “incongruent” work environments that sow confusion by sending inconsistent normative signals to employees. We argue that these warnings rest on the debatable assumption that employees do not have cognitive bandwidth and emotional resilience to do more than single-mindedly pursue internally consistent goals. Challenging this assumption, we argue that employees in today's complex knowledge economies often face tasks that require balancing opposing risks such as those of conforming too closely to standard practices against those of deviating too far. Given this reality, we explain how congruity can sometimes be maladaptive and incongruity, adaptive. Congruent combinations of process accountability and collectivism can trigger excessive conformity and congruent combinations of outcome accountability and individualism can induce excessive deviation. But incongruent combinations can motivate employees to rethink tacit assumptions and explore better ways of reaping the benefits of conformity (deviation) at a lower cost of the other value. That said, managing tradeoffs can be exhausting—and congruity affords needed guidance. Organizations should therefore introduce incongruity in carefully calibrated quasi-experimental doses. The likelihood of successful implementation of this advice hinges on managers’ ideological resistance to incongruity as well as their ability to mobilize employee “buy in.” Our chapter highlights the dialectical interplay between incongruity which encourages mindfulness and congruity which provides a respite from the burdens of choice.

长期以来,微观和宏观学者都警告说,“不一致”的工作环境会向员工发出不一致的规范信号,从而造成混乱。我们认为,这些警告基于一个有争议的假设,即员工没有认知带宽和情绪弹性,只能一心一意地追求内部一致的目标。挑战这一假设,我们认为,在当今复杂的知识经济中,员工经常面临需要平衡对立风险的任务,例如过于严格地遵循标准实践与偏离太远的风险。鉴于这一现实,我们解释了和谐有时是如何不适应的,而不和谐是如何适应的。过程问责制和集体主义的一致结合会导致过度从众,结果问责制和个人主义的一致结合会导致过度偏离。但是,不一致的组合可以激励员工重新思考隐性假设,并探索以较低的其他价值成本获得一致性(偏差)收益的更好方法。也就是说,管理权衡可能会让人筋疲力尽,而一致性提供了所需的指导。因此,各组织应在仔细校准的准实验剂量中引入不一致性。这一建议成功实施的可能性取决于管理者在意识形态上对不一致的抵制,以及他们动员员工“买入”的能力。我们的章节强调了鼓励正念的不和谐和提供选择负担喘息机会的和谐之间的辩证相互作用。

History and the present: Institutional legacies in communities of organizations 历史与现在:组织社区中的制度遗产

An important source of organizational variation in communities is institutional legacies: institutions that persist and affect the community over long periods of time. Institutional legacies have received attention in the past, but recently there has been increased interest in their origins and effects. We examine three carriers of institutional legacies—legal structures, voluntary organizations, and intra-community relations—and show some work on each of these carriers. We discuss how research on institutional legacies presents a particular challenge in causal identification, but we also offer potentially viable solutions to this challenge. Finally, we outline extensions of research on institutional legacies through work that documents how the interrelationships between community organizations and businesses are shaped by institutional legacies and in turn contribute to their evolution.

社区中组织变化的一个重要来源是制度遗产:在很长一段时间内持续存在并影响社区的制度。制度遗产在过去受到关注,但最近对其起源和影响的兴趣增加了。我们考察了制度遗产的三个载体——法律结构、志愿组织和社区内部关系——并展示了对这些载体的一些研究。我们讨论了制度遗产的研究如何在因果识别中提出一个特殊的挑战,但我们也为这一挑战提供了潜在的可行解决方案。最后,我们通过记录社区组织和企业之间的相互关系如何受到制度遗产的影响并反过来促进其演变的工作,概述了制度遗产研究的扩展。

Institutional legacies have received attention in the past, but recently there has been increased interest in their origins and effects.

We discuss how research on institutional legacies presents a particular challenge in causal identification, but we also offer potentially viable solutions to this challenge. Finally, we outline extensions of research on institutional legacies through work that documents how the interrelationships between community organizations and businesses are shaped by institutional legacies and in turn contribute to their evolution.</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.2014.09.002","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"55074673","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}

Image is everything 形象就是一切

We develop the notion of image as a “covering concept,” one that subsumes several major ideas in organization study. We draw on a number of literatures, including social psychology, marketing/branding, political science and organization studies, to make the case that “image is everything.” We consider not only the pervasiveness of image, but also the power of image including its transformational potential for altering the character of even our most fundamental concepts in personal and organizational study, including identity. We articulate two major theses: (1) image harbors the power to transform substance into image, and more radically that (2) image can itself become substantive. We therefore articulate not only a substance  image transformation, but also an image  substance transformation.

我们将形象的概念发展为一个“覆盖概念”,它包含了组织研究中的几个主要概念。我们借鉴了许多文献,包括社会心理学、市场营销/品牌、政治学和组织研究,来证明“形象就是一切”。我们不仅考虑了图像的普遍性,还考虑了图像的力量,包括它在个人和组织研究中改变甚至是我们最基本概念的特征的转化潜力,包括身份。我们阐明了两个主要论点:(1)图像拥有将物质转化为图像的力量,更根本的是(2)图像本身可以成为实质性的。因此,我们不仅表达了一个实体→形象转化,而且表达了一个形象→物质转化。
