An integrated control theory model of work motivation
Article Abstract:
A model that integrates several different motivational theories and previous control theory models is presented as possible meta-theory to focus future theoretical and empirical efforts. The proposed model is dynamic, parsimonious, and focuses on self-regulation and the underlying cognitive mechanisms of motivation. In explicating this model, numerous hypotheses are derived regarding (a) the nature of goals and feedback; (b) cognitive, behavioral, and affective reactions to goals and feedback; and (c) the role of attributions, expectancies, and goal hierarchies in determining those reactions.

Staffing policy as a strategic response: a typology of career systems
Article Abstract:
This article proposes a four-cell typology of career systems, reflecting two critical dimensions along which firms choose a staffing strategy: supply flow and assignment flow. We suggest that this typology reflects, in a human resources context, the different choices firms make in managing their overall strategy. The career systems profiles that follow from the typology both describe and predict the composition of a company's work force. (Reprinted by permission of the publisher.)
