Silence and Voice in Nigeria's Hybrid Urban Water Markets: Implications for Local Governance of Public Goods

This article highlights how the governance of the water sector affects the strategies and tactics urban residents use to gain improved access to water for household consumption in cities with limited networked infrastructure. A framework of exit, voice and loyalty (EVL) is used to characterize the actions household decision makers take in neighborhoods across metropolitan areas. In Nigeria, Lagos and Benin City are rapidly growing metropolitan regions with urban water markets competing with a state‐run utility. Scholars have documented informality and hybridity between state and non‐state actors, but there is less understanding of variables associated with citizen behavior in urban water markets across different types of households and communities. This article places Nigeria in the context of African mobilization around water provision, using interviews, observation and findings from fieldwork, household interviews and surveys undertaken between 2008 and 2015 to show how access to water is shaped by the interplay between state and non‐state sources of water. This access is filtered through differently regulated service providers and the perceived authority of each actor involved in water delivery, which can lead to what I call structural silence. Findings show the need for a grounded understanding of factors influencing voice and participation in local governance.     

The Dynamics of the Adoption of Product and Process Innovations in Organizations

While many researchers have fruitfully explored the patterns of adoption of product and process innovations across industries, few have studied these same patterns within individual firms. In this study we address this issue, examining the dynamics that govern the adoption of product and process innovations at the firm level over time. We examine questions such as: Which type of innovation is more readily adopted? Does the adoption of one type of innovation lead or lag the adoption of the other type? And, would the pattern of adoption of innovation types have an effect on organizational performance? Using data on the innovations introduced between 1982 and 1993 by a sample of 101 commercial banks in the United States, we find that: (1) product innovations are adopted at a greater rate and speed than process innovations; (2) a product–process pattern of adoption is more likely than a process–product pattern; (3) the adoption of product innovations is positively associated with the adoption of process innovations; and (4) high-performance banks adopt product and process innovations more evenly than low-performance banks.

Speaking Up in the Operating Room: How Team Leaders Promote Learning in Interdisciplinary Action Teams

ABSTRACT This paper examines learning in interdisciplinary action teams. Research on team effectiveness has focused primarily on single-discipline teams engaged in routine production tasks and, less often, on interdisciplinary teams engaged in discussion and management rather than action. The resulting models do not explain differences in learning in interdisciplinary action teams. Members of these teams must coordinate action in uncertain, fast-paced situations, and the extent to which they are comfortable speaking up with observations, questions, and concerns may critically influence team outcomes. To explore what leaders of action teams do to promote speaking up and other proactive coordination behaviours – as well as how organizational context may affect these team processes and outcomes – I analysed qualitative and quantitative data from 16 operating room teams learning to use a new technology for cardiac surgery. Team leader coaching, ease of speaking up, and boundary spanning were associated with successful technology implementation. The most effective leaders helped teams learn by communicating a motivating rationale for change and by minimizing concerns about power and status differences to promote speaking up in the service of learning.     

The Context of Entrepreneurial Judgment: Organizations,Markets, and Institutions

The economics and management literatures pay increasing attention to the technological, competitive, and institutional environment for entrepreneurship. However, less is known about how context influences the judgment of entrepreneurs. Focusing on the emerging judgment‐based approach to entrepreneurship, we argue that economics can say much about how the organizational, market, and institutional context shapes entrepreneurial judgment. We describe entrepreneurs as individuals who deploy scarce, heterogeneous resources to service customer preferences at a profit. Because of uncertainty, this process is essentially experimental, and context influences the experimental process. Thus, entrepreneurs will seek to design the internal organization of the firm so that it facilitates internal experimentation. Moreover, the market or task environment determines the need for experimentation (e.g., how fast do consumer preferences change, how does technology evolve, which assets are available at which terms, etc.). Finally, the institutional environment influences, for example, the transaction costs of acquiring and divesting assets as firms adjust their boundaries through ongoing commercial experimentation.     

The Geometry of Comparative Industrial Relations: Efficiency,Equity and Voice

This article focuses on John Budd’s efficiency, equity and voice concepts. The discussion considers the concepts’ utility as a framework for analyzing different national patterns of industrial relations in a comparative perspective. The article considers eight forms of employment relationships: social partnerships, sectoral bargaining, centralized awards, enterprise unionism, exclusive representation, codetermination, the US new deal system and voluntarism. The author concludes that this is a useful framework for such purposes, and that it is following the industrial relations tradition of pluralism.     

员工建言发生和领导者建言采纳:权力感的视角

员工建言对组织决策、创新和绩效有着重要的影响。这些积极作用的发挥取决于两个重要过程:员工建言发生和领导者建言采纳。本文从权力感视角出发,探究了权力感对员工建言发生和领导者建言采纳的影响机制。本文主要包括三部分内容:一是员工权力感促进建言想法形成(员工建言发生的第一阶段)的机制研究;二是员工权力感促进其建言表达(员工建言发生的第二阶段)的机制研究;三是领导者权力感对其建言采纳的影响机制。本研究在理论上完善和拓展了权力感视角下的建言研究,在实践上为组织管理员工建言提供了借鉴意义。     

Employee Voice,Supervisor Support,and Engagement: The Mediating Role of Trust

Developing employee engagement has been one of the major areas of interest in the field of human resource management (HRM), and research identifies the positive effect that engagement has on both employee and organizational performance. However, while research on engagement has been substantial, there have been limited studies on key variables such as supervisor support, voice, and trust. We examined the role of supervisor support and direct voice on engagement experienced by nurses and the mediating role trust plays in those relationships. Data were collected though an online survey of 1,039 Australian nurses and analyzed using structural equation modeling. As hypothesized, results showed that both supervisor support and direct voice are positively associated with employee engagement, and these relationships are mediated by supervisory and senior management trust, respectively. The implications of the results for human resource (HR) practitioners are discussed and include the challenge of resourcing effective direct voice systems and enlisting the support of supervisors in order to impact on the engagement of nurses who are the “front line” of the health sector. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

The Interrelationship of Governance,Trust, and Ethics in Temporary Organizations

This study investigates the variety of ethical decisions of project managers and their impact from corporate governance and project governance structures. The roles of personal trust and system trust as a mechanism to steer ethical decision making in different governance settings is explored. Nine qualitative case studies in Europe, Asia, and Australia show that ethical decision making is contingent on trust, which in turn is contingent on the fulfillment of personal expectations within a given governance structure. The findings show the prerequisites for ethical decision making and the consequences of lack of trust. Further managerial and theoretical implications are discussed.     

Introduction: Organizations, Risk and Regulation

abstract    Risk, regulation and practices of organizing are interrelated in a myriad of ways. Natural disasters, technical failures, and also processes of organizing are sources of risk to which organizations must respond and for which new managerial and regulatory practices are demanded. In this introduction we highlight three salient features of risk management: the (un)intended production of risk by organizations; the complex interrelationship between risk management and regulation; and the evolving and often contested nature of risk management knowledge. Each of these three themes is evident in the different contributions to this themed section.

企业员工沉默行为研究述评及启示

当员工有能力改进当前企业绩效时,却对企业中存在的潜在问题保留了相关观点,这种现象被称为员工沉默。虽然员工沉默有助于减少管理信息泛滥,使得组织关系更为融洽。但同时其给企业和个人带来了很多负面影响,应引起广泛关注。     

组织沉默的研究综述及研究展望

组织沉默是组织中普遍存在的一种群体现象,是指员工对组织潜在的问题保留个人观点的行为。组织沉默可以避免意见的分歧和正面的冲突,但更多的是给组织和个人带来消极的影响。组织沉默作为员工在组织中的行为表现,对组织绩效有重要的影响。     

团队建言结构:概念、前因及其对团队创新的影响

面对全球化的竞争压力和持续动荡的外部环境,企业应对的一个关键措施在于改革组织架构,通过组建工作团队,以汇聚员工智慧对市场变化做出有针对性的快速反应.组建团队的目的在于激发每个成员的参与,团队创新需要每位成员敞开心扉,勇于讲出自己的观点和看法.但这一要求在现实中却远非如此,大多数的员工在工作中倾向于保持沉默而不是把自己的观点讲出来.员工保持沉默不仅仅是因为他们害怕触犯领导,同时他们也在通过沉默维护同事关系,避免伤害同事.针对这种困境,本研究提出了团队建言结构这一概念,以分析团队成员之间的建言互动为出发点,探讨团队成员间的建言互动对团队创新的影响.本研究主要包括以下内容:(1)结合社会网络的分析方法,描述团队成员之间建言互动模式,完善团队建言结构的概念基础与理论内涵;(2)在概念发展的基础上,分析影响团队成员之间形成利于创新的建言结构的关键因素;(3)结合概念分析,进一步探讨团队建言结构如何通过促进了团队内部的学习行为和知识运用,进而提升团队创新水平.我们希望在构建理论贡献的同时,探讨企业如何进行有效的团队建言管理,从而打破团队内的沉默,提升团队创新水平.
