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