“共性”还是“特性”?——组织情境下的延迟满足研究述评

Generality or Particularity?——Delay of Gratification in Organizational Context

组织情境下的延迟满足研究,主要关注在组织这一特定工作背景下,员工甘为更有价值的长远结果而放弃即时满足的抉择取向,以及在等待中展示的自制能力。一直以来,西方学者职业道德视角的研究与中国学者职业发展视角的研究,从概念界定到测量方法都有较大分别,而目前,这种差别并没有得到足够重视。未来对于组织情境下的延迟满足研究,应更加重视中西方研究的差别和联系、理清核心概念和结构、深入探讨研究方法,并进一步开发其管理价值。

The research about delay of gratification （DOG） in choice tendency to overcome the immediate gratification in workplace organizational context mainly focuses on the employees＇ to get more valuable and long term consult, and the self control in the process of waiting. Western scholars have studied DOG in organizational context from a work ethic perspective, while Chinese scholars always have done this work from a career development perspective. From concept definition to research Methods, there were large differences between these two research orientations which did not get enough attention. Future research should pay more attention to the similarities and differences between Chinese and western researches, clarify key concepts and structures, improve the measurement of DOG in organizational context, and further develop their management value.
