Relationships between Perceptions of Organizational Size and the Organizational Choice Process
Journal of vocational behavior, v 13(1)
01 Jan 1978
Abstract
Expectancy theory concepts were used to predict (1) the attractiveness of, (2) the amount of effort directed toward entering, & (3) the eventual choice of a job in relatively big versus small work organizations. It was found, among a group of graduating seniors from a technical college, that antecedent perceptions regarding organizational size (expectancy, valence, instrumentality) were significantly related to the relative attractiveness of different-sized organizations & the number of job interviews taken with relatively big & small companies. In addition, economically tied extrinsic outcomes were seen as more readily attainable in big organizations, whereas certain intrinsic outcomes were perceived to be more easily obtained in small organizations. 5 Tables.
