Tiivistelmä: | To assess the effect of political activity in decision making, the selection of a new dean was studied in 40 colleges at state universities. Interdependence was found to affect political activity directly, while other aspects of organizational design affected it indirectly through the development of consensus. The study suggests that political activity may have two different purposes: to assist existing coalitions to gain advantage or to facilitate the formation of new coalitions. Authors extend previous research by measuring political activity and clarifying the process by which it occurs. |
