    Coordination and Output Attainment in Work Units Performing Non-routine Tasks: A Cross- National Study

    Full text link
    Based on an information-processing perspective (Galbraith 1972), a theoretical pro position is advanced which predicts that for work units performing non-routine tasks, the effect of unit coordination on output attainment is contingent on the sources from which the unit acquires information for task performance. This proposition is tested using a cross-national research design. Data from four national samples — Austria, Belgium, Hungary, and Poland — of academic research units support the proposition. The results reinforce the need for a contingency approach to the study of coordination and performance in organizations. They also provide some insight into the interplay between society and organization.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/68600/2/10.1177_017084068500600102.pd

    Le système judiciaire américain est en crise. A l'évidence, les ressources et la capacité d'organisation du judiciaire ne répondent plus aux besoins. D'où une modification profonde du processus de décision et de gestion du judiciaire ainsi que de la compétence et de la productivité des tribunaux. Le processus de rationalisation administrative qui se développe ici participe de stratégies technocratiques dont les effets contradictoires ne peuvent se comprendre que dans le cadre d'une analyse des relations entre l'institution judiciaire, l'économie et l'État.Heydebrand Wolf V., Vallet Bénédicte.
