A Contextual Approach to Modeling the Decision to Participate in a "Political" Issue.

Hawley, Karen E.; Nichols, Mary Lippitt

Administrative Science Quarterly, v27 n1 p105-19 Mar 1982

Researchers presented 43 administrators at a large midwestern university with 22 hypothetical organizational problems in which authority was absent or unclear, to test models of the effects of contextual factors on insiders' and outsiders' decisions to participate in organizational "political" issues. The results led to revisions of the models. (Author/RW)
