Organizational Effectiveness: Development and Validation of Integrated Models. Report II. Empirical Studies of Organizational Effectiveness Using Multivariate Models

Abstract

This report is in three parts, each summarizing an empirical investigation concerning the relationships among criteria of organizational effectiveness. The first, Problem Solving Adequacy in Organizational Subunits, tests hypotheses concerning the role of appropriate structure (four aspects) and of problem solving adequacy (nine problem domains) to the rated performance effectiveness of hospital subunits. The second, Organizational Effectiveness in a Retail Brokerage Firm, employs factorial analysis methods (49 objective performance variables, 160 brokerage offices) to ascertain the dimensions of office performance and the compatibility of interpretations derived from alternative models of organizational effectiveness. The third, Technology and Organizational Effectiveness, examines the joint and independent effects of certain technological characteristics and certain input characteristics upon the goal attainment of short-stay general hospitals.
