GWD-23-Q25-Q27 组织价值观如何影响管理者决策

A pressing need in the study of

         organizations is for more research

         into how an organization’s values (an

Line  organization’s guiding principles and

  (5)  beliefs as perceived by its members)

affect managerial decision-making.

Traditional theories have been based

on a “rational model,” which focuses

on the decision-maker and either

 (10)  ignores the organizational value cli-

mate or conveniently assumes that the

organization’s values are consistent or

clearly prioritized.  In reality, however,

decisions are shaped not only by a

 (15)  manager’s own values, but also by

those of the corporate culture and of

organizational superiors.  A recent

study found that managers’ most

stressful decisions involved “value

 (20)  contention” (conflicts among any of

         these sets of values).  Furthermore,

         different types of organizational value

systems were associated with differ-

ent frequencies of contending values

 (25)  as well as with different types of man-

agerial response.  Explicit corporate

values, for example, produced a

greater percentage of decisions that

were stressful due to value conten-

 (30)  tion.  Hidden values (those that an

organization practices but does not

acknowledge or which a superior

         furtively pursues in opposition to the

values of the organization) produced

 (35) a lower level of value contention.

Although explicit values created

more value contention, they were

nonetheless more likely to produce

        flexible, well-reasoned decisions.

 (40) Conversely, managers perplexed by

hidden values reported feeling unable

to identify an appropriate range of

options.

Q25:

The passage suggests that which of the following has resulted from the influence of the rational model (line 8) ?

1. It has deflected researchers’ attention from a critical factor affecting managerial decision-making.

2. It has focused decision-making procedures on managers’ presumed ability to prioritize key corporate values.
3. It has diverted attention from the need for orientation of nonsupervisory employees to organizational values.
4. It has hampered communication between academic researchers and mangers of organizations.
5. It has produced theories that are practicable for analyzing decision-making processes only in relatively large organizations.

请教为何选A,我选B

on the decision-maker and either

 (10)    ignores the organizational value cli-

mate or conveniently assumes that the

organization’s values are consistent or

clearly prioritized.

我开始也选B，回头比较一下，是欠妥的，理由有二：

题目问的是rational model的影响，就A和B回答的角度而言，A更像是说的影响，而B像是说内容。

而且B说manager prioritize key corporate values,这在原文未提及。原文说rational model就是focus on decision-maker并且或者...或者简单假设organization’s values are... clearly prioritized.并未说由谁假设。

同意楼上说的

deflect就是distract

和原文的

either

 (10)  ignores the organizational value cli-

mate or conveniently assumes that the

organization’s values are consistent or

clearly prioritized. 相对应
