摘要:

AbstractInPart I of this paper we examined the possibility that certain managerial and organizational characteristics were associated with company performance under a wide range of operating conditions. Part II now turns to an alternative theory of performance which has attracted more attention in recent years. This is contingency theory, which enable a company to cope better with itsparticularoperating conditions. In other words, the factors associated with high performance are expected to vary along with differences in a company's context‐especially with differences in its environment, size and technolog

摘要:

AbstractInrecent years a number of examples of social skill training have emerged. These have included techniques to improve an employee's relationship with customers, to encourage better relations between colleagues, to renew and develop organizations, and to promote personal growth. Many of these approaches have increasingly been reported in the literature with a concomitant interest in training evaluation. In a large study by the authors, evaluating various methods of social skill training in the catering industry, a number of new questionnaires and techniques of measurement were advanced. It was felt that people interested in appraisal of training in social skills (in different contexts) might be interested in seeing this package of research tools. Questionnaries are included which measure trainee perceptual change (self‐image, ideal‐image, others‐images and self‐esteem), change in trainees’ awareness of organizational variables (i.e.understanding colleagues’ jobs), change in trainees’ behaviour at work, and an assessment of trainees’ plans in transferring social skill learning to their work environments. One of the most interesting techniques described is the use of an adapted Kelly Repertory Grid in generating bi‐polar adjectival scales for use in assessing change in tra
