Download or read book Handbook of Organizational Politics written by Eran Vigoda-Gadot and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2006 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This exciting Handbook offers a broad perspective on the intriguing phenomena of power, influence and politics in the modern workplace, their meaning for individuals, groups and other organizational stakeholders, and their effect on organizational outcomes and performances. The contributors illustrate the fact that organizational politics has many facets and definitions, all relating to the use of personal or aggregate power in influencing others and better achieving goals in the workplace. However, politics in organizations is difficult to study, as neither employees nor management are keen to divulge the political secrets and dynamics that help them to promote their own ideas and goals and to advance in the workplace. In the face of this challenge, the Handbook presents a comprehensive collection of original studies and theoretical discussions from across the globe. Providing a starting point for new research in the area, issues dealt with include: politics, personality and leadership ethics, fairness and prospects of trust in workplace politics organizational politics and employees well-being strategy, change and decision-making as a political process human resource management and consulting in a political sphere. Offering a fresh and up-to-date take on the topic, this highly original Handbook will be a fascinating read for academics, students and researchers in the fields of management and organizational behavior. The wide range of perspectives presented in this book, written by some of the leading scholars and researchers in the field, will also be invaluable to practitioners in management and to individuals in organizations who require a better understanding of the meaning of power and influence in the modern workplace.

Download or read book The Application of the Controllability Principle and Managers Responses written by Franz Michael Fischer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-07-24 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Franz Michael Fischer investigates the relationships between the application of the controllability principle and managers’ cognitive, affective, and behavioral responses. The author further explores the impact of several important contextual factors on the basic relationships and, thus, develops moderated mediation models. He reveals that the application of the controllability principle has a significant effect on role stress and role orientation which, in turn, are related to managerial performance and affective constructs.

Download or read book Behavioral Responses to Measurement Diversity in Individual Incentive Plans written by Lorenzo Patelli and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prior empirical accounting research on the relationship between measurement diversity and performance provides conflicting results. In particular, most studies do not find a significant direct effect and few studies investigate the intervening effect of subordinates' behaviors. This paper examines the behavioral responses to individual incentive plans balancing multiple performance measures. Specifically, I examine the effect of the number of performance measures, concentration of performance weights, and reliance on non-financial performance measures on role conflict and role ambiguity for 243 individual short-term incentive plans provided by two different organizations. I use proprietary data to construct three variables for measurement diversity and survey data involving 415 individuals to capture their behavioral responses to incentive plans. I measure individual performance based on perceptual and objective variables. Consistent with role theory, the analyses reveal that measurement diversity leads to role conflict experienced by the subordinates with a negative effect on individual performance. Task complexity proxied by subordinate's job-grade is associated with the adoption of more performance measures and more financial indicators. Organizational identification proxied by subordinate's value commitment does not seem to moderate the relationship between incentives and individual behavior, whereas situational factors proxied by a dichotomous variable for the two different organizational settings significantly contribute to explain different behaviors. The empirical results have implications for the design of performance measurement and evaluation systems, especially for the selection of performance measures and their weighting in a system of multiple measures, and help to understand better the performance implications of incentive plans encompassing measurement diversity.

Download or read book Management Laureates written by Arthur G. Bedeian and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 708 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1993. This volume compiles the autobiographies of the management discipline’s most distinguished laureates. Prior to this publication, the available management literature provided little insight into the personal and intellectual lives - the frustrations as well as the triumphs - of the individuals in the management discipline. Although such understanding could be conveyed in many forms, perhaps the most intimate and fascinating of these for gaining behind-the-scenes insights is the autobiography. Thus, the autobiographies in this volume, as in the five companion volumes, offer the reader not only a glimpse of the subjective determinants and personal experiences of the management discipline’s most distinguished laureates, but also a deeper understanding of what management is and what it is becoming. The various accounts reflect a diversity of approaches, interests, and experiences.

Download or read book Some Personality Determinants of the Effects of Participation written by Victor H. Vroom and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-28 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1960, this study was carried out as part of the research of the Organizational Behavior and Human Relations Program of the Institute of Social Research. The primary purpose was to determine the effects of participation in decision-making on people with different personality characteristics. It was hypothesized that equalitarians and individuals with strong independence needs would be more positively affected by the opportunity to participate in making decisions than authoritarians and people with weaker independence needs. The results, based on data derived in an actual industrial setting, confirmed the hypothesis. The theoretical implications of the findings are discussed.
