A test of relationships in a model of organizational cognitive complexity
We examined relationships in a model of organizational cognitive complexity (CC) via a field study. Results, based on a sample drawn from six organizations, indicate that problem familiarity (r = 0.25, p < 0.10) and variety of work experience (r = 0.29, p < 0.05) are related to the number of s...

Zusammenfassung: | We examined relationships in a model of organizational cognitive complexity (CC) via a field study. Results, based on a sample drawn from six organizations, indicate that problem familiarity (r = 0.25, p < 0.10) and variety of work experience (r = 0.29, p < 0.05) are related to the number of script tracks available for problem solving. In turn, script tracks are related to CC (r = -0.26, p < 0.10). The relationship between CC and job level is statistically, significantly moderated by job complexity. Finally, chi-square analysis indicates that the data fit the model as proposed. The organizational implications of CC are discussed and suggestions for future research on the model are made. |
