参与管理对组织效率的影响

在当今社会，人们发现单纯依靠命令式管理来提高员工工作效率，似乎收效不大，于是寻求人本管理，采取激励的方法来提高员工的积极性，以影响组织效率。本文通过让员工参与管理，满足员工个人成长、自我价值实现的需要，充分调动员工的积极性，达到组织效率提高的目的。     

An intra-organizational perspective on supply management involvement in contracting services

The relationship between an agent (supply management) and a principal (client functional user) can be studied by using agency theory as a theoretical background. In this study, perceptions of conflict, information asymmetry and risk were examined in relation to perceptions of internal outcomes of supply management’s involvement in services contracting in an intra-organizational dyadic context. Structural equation modeling and regression analysis were used to analyze the nature of the relationships. The contribution is integrating a structured view of internal outcomes with three concepts from agency theory to help build a more comprehensive theory of intra-organizational relationships in the context of services contracting.     

Effects of age, need for cognition, and affective intensity on advertising effectiveness

This paper explores how individual characteristics of age, need for cognition (NFC), and affective intensity (AI) interact with each other and with advertising appeal frames (i.e., rational, positive-emotional, negative-emotional) to influence ad attitudes, involvement, and recall. The mixed design study reveals that younger adults recall emotional messages, especially negative ones, better than rational ones, but recall does not differ for older adults across appeal frames. Older adults prefer rational and positive messages to negative-emotional messages but ad attitudes do not differ among younger adults across appeal frames. Finally, age interacts with AI, but not NFC, to influence ad responsiveness. Both age and AI influence ad attitudes such that older adults exhibit the most positive ad attitudes across all appeal frames.     

Do global airline alliances influence the passenger's purchase decision?

This study examines the influences of airline global alliances on the purchase intention of international air passengers in Taiwan. The findings indicate positive relationships between global airline alliances, brand equity, brand preference and purchase intention with a moderation effect of involvement impacting on the relationship between global airline alliances and brand equity, and the relationship between brand preferences and purchase intention. In particular, for highly involved passengers, the effect of global airline alliances on brand equity, and brand preference on purchase intention, is significant.     

家族控制与企业创新投入

家族企业对社会情感财富目标的追求是其区别于非家族企业的重要特性，社会情感财富目标与企业经济利益间冲突对企业R&D投入的影响不容忽视。以社会情感财富为理论基础，基于573家上市家族企业2011-2015年的面板数据，分析受市场化程度影响时，家族涉入情境下信息透明度对企业R&D投入的影响。结果显示：信息透明度可以有效缓解信息不对称和代理冲突，促进企业R&D投入；家族控制对R&D投入有消极影响；当企业信息透明度较高时，会抑制家族所有者为个人谋取私利的动机，进而增强其对企业R&D投资的积极作用。在市场化程度更高、产权保护力度较大的地区，信息透明度会缓解家族控制权对R&D投入的消极作用。     

The role of involvement: Investigating the effect of brand's social media pages on consumer purchase intention

This study examined the influence of consumer's brand familiarity and the information quality of social media content on their involvement with a brand on the brand's social media pages. Also studied were the influence of involvement on consumer's attitude towards the brand's social media page and the effect of their attitude on future purchase intention from the brand. The results indicated that both brand familiarity and information quality had significant effects on a consumer's involvement with a brand on its social media page, yet the brand's social media content had a greater influence on a consumer's involvement with the social media page. Further, involvement with a brand's social media led to a positive attitude towards the brand's social media page, which in turn influences future purchase intention from the brand. However, the involvement did not directly influence future purchase intention from the brand. The results suggest the significant importance of quality of social media content.     

家族涉入对企业多元化及其价值效应的影响研究

多元化是战略管理领域中的一个核心议题。文章基于社会情感财富框架和企业行为理论,着重考察了家族涉入对企业多元化战略及其价值效应的影响。基于2010年363家中国民营上市制造业企业样本数据的研究发现：家族所有权对企业总体多元化和非相关多元化均具有显著的负向影响。在多元化的企业价值效应方面,家族管理权会显著减弱总体多元化和非相关多元化对企业绩效的负向影响。这样的研究结果证明了假设猜想：家族通过所有权参与更多影响的是企业的多元化决策,而家族参与管理则会更多地影响多元化战略的执行。这一研究有助于深入揭示家族涉入对企业行为的内在影响机制,有效区分不同维度家族涉入对企业战略决策及执行过程影响机制的差异。     

Understanding the Motivation and Travel Behavior of Cycle Tourists Using Involvement Profiles

Bicycle tourism is a growing niche tourism market which has potential economic, social, and environmental outcomes for individual participants and host communities. However, there has been a lack of research into heterogeneity of this market and their respective motivations and behavior. This article applies the concept of enduring involvement, in conjunction with tourist motivational theory, to segment and better understand cycle tourist behavior and intentions. A total of 564 completed questionnaires was collected from an online survey of bicycle club members in Australia. Respondents were segmented into five initial clusters by their level of enduring involvement. A number of significant differences were found on their travel motivations, travel behavior, and behavioral intentions, as well as their sociodemographics and cycling behavior. The results lend support to the application of enduring involvement in a tourism context to better understand the behavior of niche markets which include popular leisure pursuits. Recommendations as a result of the findings are made for product development and marketing communication, while future research opportunities are also outlined.     

Employee involvement climate,task and citizenship performance,and instability as a moderator

This study explored the group-level effects of a climate of employee involvement. Using the immediate manager as the referent, we examined data from 153 workgroups to establish a positive relationship between climate for employee involvement and performance. Through multilevel analysis, we provide results supporting that a climate for employee involvement positively relates to group citizenship behaviors and group task performance, respectively. Furthermore, moderation analyses confirmed the deleterious effects of member turnover on the positive relationship between a climate of employee involvement and performance. Taken together, these results support the concurrent work exploring transactive memory and mental models in groups to further explicate the interactive effects of group-level perceptions and stability on performance.     

家族涉入调节下社会资本对企业创新的作用机制研究

基于社会资本相关研究的理论分析，重点探讨家族性社会资本与非家族性社会资本对企业创新的联合影响效应，以及这种联合效应是否强于家族性社会资本或非家族性社会资本个体效应。鉴于强大的控制联盟（即家族）的存在为组织环境中社会群体之间积极互惠影响创造了条件，还探讨了家族涉入在上述关系中的调节作用。运用偏最小二乘法（PLS）对318份调研问卷数据进行分析，结果表明：家族性社会资本与非家族性社会资本共同对家族企业创新产生积极影响，且联合影响效应优于家族性社会资本或非家族性社会资本的单一效应；家族控制对家族性社会资本和非家族性社会资本与企业创新的关系存在正向调节作用；代际参与对家族性社会资本和非家族性社会资本与企业创新的关系存在负向调节作用。
