Expected Managerial Careers within Growing and Declining R & D Establishments

Abstract

The authors distinguish six types of productivity in different contexts and develop six corresponding scales and estimate reliability coefficients. Coefficients differ depending on context, supporting an argument that the meanings of productivity, and so its appropriate measurements, differ depending on structure and goals of the teams. This TR was published by the authors (1989).We thank Frank M. Andrews for his comments and Shaul Gabay and Yasmin Alkalay for their assistance.
