Comment: Organizations Do Not Cognize

James, Lawrence R., Joyce, William F., Slocum, John W.·1988·The Academy of Management Review

Abstract

The article presents a commentary on the paper “Conceptualizing and measuring organizational and psychological climate: Pitfalls in multilevel research,” by W. H. Glick. The authors note that Glick's paper contains some inconsistencies. They explain that it is difficult to understand how Glick defined organizational climate (OC) as a nonpsychological, organizational variable that is different from a shared assignment of psychological meaning. The authors contend that methodological discussion and decisions should follow questions such as whether it makes sense to aggregate a psychological variable to a situational level of analysis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
