动态环境与生命周期视角下人力资源管理策略对组织绩效的影响:基于模糊集定性比较分析

基于资源依赖理论,采用模糊集定性比较分析(fs/QCA)方法 ,探讨在动态环境下,处于不同生命周期的组织该采用何种人力资源管理策略(HRMP)才能有效提高组织绩效。对491个企业样本进行统计分析,本研究发现:(1)在环境动态性程度不高的情境下,处于成长期的企业实施控制型HRMP能帮助组织取得高绩效;(2)在环境动态性比较高的情境下,处于成长期的企业实施承诺型HRMP能帮助组织取得高绩效;(3)在环境动态性比较高的情境下,处于衰退期的企业需采用承诺与控制相混合的HRMP才能实现组织高绩效目标;(4)不论环境动态性程度如何,实施承诺型HRMP的成熟期企业将取得高绩效;(5)不论环境动态性程度如何,初创期企业采用承诺与控制相混合的HRMP能帮助组织取得实现高绩效目标。本研究的结论细化了不同类型HRMP实现高绩效的情境条件,这为企业人力资源管理策略在动态环境中的发展和应用提供具体的现实指导。     

V-Matrix: A wave theory of value creation for big data

This paper examines the “V-Matrix” and provides a wave theory life cycle model of organizations’ adoption of big data. The V-Matrix is based on the big data five “V’s”: Volume, Velocity, Variety, Veracity, and Value and captures and enumerates the different potential states that an organization can go through as part of its adoption and evolution towards big data. We extend the V-Matrix to a state space approach in order to provide a characterization of the adoption of big data technologies in an organization. We develop and use a wave theory of implementation to accommodate a firm’s movement through the V-Matrix. Accordingly, the V-Matrix provides a life cycle model of organizational use of the different aspects of big data. In addition, the model can help organizations’ plan for decision-making use of big data as they anticipate movement from one state to another, as they add big data capabilities. As part of this analysis, the paper examines some of the issues that occur in the different states, including synergies and other issues associated with co-occurrence of different V’s with each other. Finally, this paper integrates the V-Matrix with other data analytic life cycles and examines some of the implications of those models.     

Are the supporters of socialism the losers of capitalism? Conformism in East Germany and transition success

The empirical literature is inconclusive about whether a country’s democratization has a long-lasting impact on former supporters or opponents of the bygone regime. With newly available individual-level data of former residents of the socialist German Democratic Republic (GDR), we analyze how supporters and opponents of the socialist system performed within the market-based democracy after reunification. Protesters, who helped to overthrow the socialist regime in the Peaceful Revolution, show higher life satisfaction and better labor market outcomes in the new politico-economic system. Former members of the ruling socialist party and employees in state-supervised sectors become substantially less satisfied. These results do not seem to be driven by differential reactions in the post-transition period, but rather by the removal of discriminatory practices in the GDR. Additional results indicate that conformism in the GDR also explains political preferences over the almost three decades after the reunification of Germany.
