Funded Activity Summary

Patterns of Commitment: Risks, Opportunities, and Alternatives in Introducing Normative Control in Industry. Many companies seek to secure personal commitmetnt from employees to the flexible pursuit of corporate goals by changing to a post-bureaucratic system of normative control. There is, however, a scarcity of detailed studies of how such a change is brought about and the effect this has on the degree of commitment and the form that it takes. Privileged access to a major change initiative in an industrial plant enables this project to provide an in-depth longitudinal study of these issues and, drawing on the results, to speculate about the positive and negative effects of alternative patterns of normative control for business and employees.
