Exploring Fit and Misfit with Multiple Contingencies.
Gresov, Christopher
Administrative Science Quarterly, v34 n3 p431-53 Sep 1989
Proposes a multiple contingencies theory that simultaneously examines task and dependence effects on unit design and efficiency. The model is tested, using data from 529 work units in 60 employment security offices. Units facing conflicting contingencies are more prone to design misfit and lower performance. Includes 40 references. (MLH)
