Organizational Effectiveness: A Multiple-Constituency Approach

Abstract: Current approaches to organizational effectiveness are conceptually conflicting and empirically arid. They appear handicapped by a desire to produce a single effectiveness statement about any given organization. We propose a “multiple-constituency” approach to avoid this requirement, explicitly assuming that an organization's different constituencies will form different assessments of its effectiveness. We also suggest several conceptual and empirical implications of this reorientation.

Organization Structure and Performance: A Critical Review

Abstract: We examine the literature addressing the empirical relationships, if any, between organization structure and performance, and draw distinctions between “hard” and “soft” performance criteria, subgroup versus organization units of analysis, and “structuring” versus “structural” dimensions of structure. Our concluding recommendations for future research are offered not as the inevitable prescription but rather in the interest of correcting marked deficiencies and imbalances.
