| Abstract: | The meaning and conceptual domain of organizational decline is clarified by delimiting it operationally from turbulence, stagnation, and environmental decline. Organizational attributes, including increased conflict, turnover, resistance to change, centralization, scapegoating of leaders were investigated in institutions of higher education. These attributes (e. g. centralization) associated with the actions of top managers are significantly affected by turbulence but not by decline. Organizational attributes (e. g. scapegoating) associated with the actions of organization members who are not top managers are significantly affected by decline but not by turbulence. |
