Construal Level Theory–Eine Theorie für die grenzenlose Unternehmung?
Tóm tắt
Der Umgang mit Distanz zählt zu den Kernaufgaben einer grenzenlosen Unternehmung. Trotz der großen praktischen Relevanz von Distanz für Organisationen und obwohl bereits empirische Befunde zu den Auswirkungen von Distanz auf organisationales Verhalten vorliegen, ist das theoretische Konzept der Distanz nur unzureichend in die Organisationstheorie und -forschung integriert. Der vorliegende Artikel bietet eine individuumzentrierte Perspektive auf den Umgang mit Distanz in verteilt arbeitenden, insbesondere virtuellen, Organisationen und Teams. Die Construal Level Theory ist eine sozial-kognitive Theorie, die sich in besonderer Weise zur Erklärung und Vorhersage der Auswirkungen von wahrgenommener Distanz auf Verhalten in virtuellen Teams und Organisationen eignet. Der Beitrag zeigt auf, inwiefern diese Theorie zum besseren Verständnis des Agierens und Interagierens von Individuen in verteilten und insbesondere virtuellen Organisationen und Teams beitragen kann.
