Managers' coping resources, perceived organizational patterns, and responses during organizational recovery from decline
Article Abstract:
Organizational patterns and individual coping resources are two factors which are integral in determining the efficiency of middle-level managers in effecting recovery. Experimental results gathered from a sample of 252 Israeli managers suggest that citizenship behavior and internal locus of control are both positively related to job involvement and career opportunities, respectively. Organic processes, including self-esteem and perceived organizational opportunities, on the other hand, have been shown to be negatively related to undesirable employee behavior.

Political influence compatibility: fitting the person to the climate
Article Abstract:
Organizational politics yields a significant impact on workers' attitude, as revealed by a survey conducted on 430 non-academic employees of a particular midwestern university. Results suggest that an organization's political climate possesses a positive effect on procedural fairness, conflict, trust in management, intent to turnover and self evaluation. Among these parameters, conflict, trust and intention to turnover were shown to be the most relevant in terms of composite political climate scores.
