Chen, C. & Huang, J. (2009). Strategic human resource practices and innovation performance -- The mediating role of knowledge management capacity. Journal of Business Research 62(1): 104-14.
These researchers used performance measures from a sample of nearly 150 different companies and regression analysis to determine the relationship between human resources management, innovation, and organizational success. Building strategy from a human resources perspective was shown to increase the amount of knowledge capacity in the organization and the efficiency of knowledge transfer and knowledge management, and this led to increased innovation and performance. The authors conclude that knowledge acts as an important bridge between human resources and innovation as well as firm success, and they suggest ways for managers to use this knowledge and provide an outline for further research to be conducted. This source is very valuable in terms of suggesting why organizational control is important, but though it provides some practical advice for how to achieve effective control this is not entirely relevant to the research at hand. Still, it does provide some insight into how to bring about firm success...
(2009). An Examination of College Students' Awareness of Social Web Site Usage and Employability. Journal of Academic Administration in Higher Education 5(1): 21-26.
This study did not directly address workplace issues, but rather examined a human resource issue that is being faced by organizations and new employees alike. Many college students, according to the findings of this study, do not appreciate the fact that their use of social media websites such as MySpace and Facebook can reflect on their personalities and on their employers, and that this use can thus limit their future employment capabilities. It is now standard for employers to look for "digital dirt" on prospective employees using a variety of means that are all legal and readily available to the public, and compromising information or images can be very influential in their decisions. High rates of usage of these social media sites combined with a lack of awareness about their influence on hiring decisions and other employment capabilities means individual workers are left with much harder prospects and organizations are faced with more difficulty finding…
Becker, M. (2008). Handbook of Organizational Routines. Northampton, MA:
Edward Elgar.
This book contains an abundance of material concerning many different aspects and operations typical of many organizations as well as a discussion and description of many theoretical frameworks and various explanations of organizational behavior and control. By organizing the book according to categories of "routines," Becker covers many of the points necessary in the running and maintenance of a typical business organization from both abstract/theoretical and a more concrete and practical perspective. The basic premise of the book is that organizations are controlled through an understanding of the different activities they perform and the way these activities are performed and the way they interact, and through this practical means of effecting organizational control and change can be developed. This resource is directly relevant to the research area, and provides comprehensive information on the topic.
