What Was, What Is, and What May Be in OP/OB
This article presents a personalized view of the history, development, and current shape of the related fields of industrial–organizational (I/O) psychology and organizational behavior (OB) by two authors who have personally experienced many of the events and changes that have occurred in these fields over the past 50 or so years. Particular attention is given to the interconnections and differences between I/O psychology and OB and to the implic…
Organizational psychology
This paper provides a commentary on selected issues and topics in the four papers included in this special issue of the journal (those by Lefkowitz, Cascio, Edwards, and Gelfand et al.). To put the contents of the four papers in context, the past development of the field of organizational psychology is first briefly reviewed, followed by a discussion of its relationship to adjacent “cousin” fields. Comments are then presented on each of the four …
Workplace Diversity and Group Relations
The study of conflict and diversity within groups, ranging from small workgroups to multinational organizations, has become an increasingly important focus for contemporary research. A key question is how the inevitable social diversity within groups can be developed as a productive asset rather than becoming a source of conflict and prejudice. The aim of this Special Issue of the journal is to report cutting edge empirical and theoretical work t…
When Both Similarities and Dissimilarities Matter
The current study extends the concept of relational demography by considering both demographic similarities and demographic dissimilarities in supervisor-subordinate dyads. We further examined the effects of relational demography on both basic task performance and extra-role behaviors of the subordinates. We propose that demographic similarity, which engenders attraction, will be associated with extra-role behavior but not with basic task perform…
Differential perceptions of employers' inducements
This paper reports findings from an exploratory study that addresses the question of whether or not measures of perceptual ‘gaps’ in organizational inducements contribute unique explanatory power above and beyond such familiar measures as employee job attitudes. Perceptions of inducements were obtained from both employees and representatives of their organizations. An average of 12 executives responded for each of four organizations to provide th…
The snowball effect
Employee-Organization Linakges
Organizational Influence Processes
With more than two-thirds fresh material, this new updated edition of Organizational Influence Processes provides an overview of the most important scholarly work on topics related to the exercise of influence by individuals and groups within organizations. In selecting articles for inclusion the editors were guided by the conviction that the most useful and interesting way to view organizational influence is to take a directional approach - that…

Employee—Organization Linkages
Organizational Politics
Managers' perceptions of political activity associated with different situations, functional areas, and hierarchical levels were studied in 30 organizations. Politics was perceived to be related to power, uncertainty, and importance of the issue to the organization and to the individual. Perceived negative andpositive instrumentalities of politics werefoundfor individuals and organizations
The measurement of organizational commitment
Organizational commitment, job satisfaction, and turnover among psychiatric technicians.
A study is reported of the variations in organizational commitment and job satisfaction, as related to subsequent turnover in a sample of recently-employed psychiatric technician trainees. A longitudinal study was made across a 10 1/2 month period, with attitude measures collected at four points in time. For this sample, job satisfaction measures appeared better able to differentiate future stayers from leavers in the earliest phase of the study.…
Organizational Theory and Organizational Communication
Researchers frequently confound communication in organizations with a host of other phenomena such as leadership and control. With no adequate theories of organizational communication, existing relevant research remains unintegrated. The purpose of the paper is to ask how organizational theories might aid in developing future organizational communication research and improved theories. Some of the different approaches to organizational theory are…
The role of task-goal attributes in employee performance
While many studies have demonstrated the relatively successful performance implications of formalized goal-setting programs in organizations, these findings typically do not identify the specific factors behind such techniques which are largely responsible for their success. The six 'task goal attributes' are: goal specificity; participation in goal-setting; feedback; peer competition; goal difficulty; and goal acceptance. While goal specificity …

Properties of organization structure in relation to job attitudes and job behavior
Cultural Patterns in the Role of the Manager
This is a preliminary report of data. More exhaustive analysis will appear later. Meanwhile, some general findings emerge: 1. One cannot help but be struck by the consistent groupings of countries through all three parts of the study. Not only is the grouping consistent, but it tends to follow ethnic lines rather than level of industrialization. 2. The pattern of uniformity and diversity in the data is also striking. It seems possible to identify…
