definitions.Part I, "Organization Theory, Change, and
Effectiveness," presents a model of organizational congruency,
discusses managing interdependence to enhance organizational
effectiveness, outlines a theoretical framework that clarifies the
means by which IT can affect organizations' economic activities,
and suggests how organization development approach can help find
more satisfying equilibria of forces and stakeholders in today's
organizational cultures. Part II, "Behavior and Attitudes in
Organizations," considers values and leadership roles, discusses
the role played by trust in interfirm collaboration, and explores
the relationship between organizational climate and ethical
decisions. Part III, "International and Cross-cultural Management,"
looks at various issues of management including power bases of
supervisors and subordinates' conflict management strategies and
commitment, organizational commitment of the U.S. and Korean
workers; superior-subordinate communication in a multicultural
workforce in Macao, and cynicism toward change in the public sector
in Australia. Part IV, "Human Resource Management," deals with
consequences of removing performance appraisal and merit pay; the
entrepreneurial role to bring disconnected parties together for
economic, social and/or political benefits; and relationships of
downsizing to career perceptions and psychological contract. Part
