组织忠诚的社会基础:劳动关系“嵌入性”及其作用条件

The Social Bases of Organizational Commitment:Testing Embeddedness in Employment Relations and Its Functional Boundary

既有研究注意到劳动关系具有"嵌入性"特征,但对于社会关系如何产生作用,以及作用的条件尚未深入探究。本研究利用长三角地区"雇主—雇员"匹配调查,结合质性访谈资料,考察了同乡关系对组织忠诚的作用,力图拓新经济社会学中的"嵌入性"命题,探究组织忠诚的社会基础。研究表明,"雇主—雇员"同乡关系能在一定程度上提升雇员的组织忠诚度,尤其是当这种同乡关系有较高的关系层级与强度时,企业内部劳动力市场的流动性作为调节变量会显著影响社会关系的效力,当内部劳动力市场的流动性增强,社会关系作用会削弱。

Existing research points out the social embeddedness of employment relations,but fails to clarify how social relations functions under different conditions.Using an'employer-employee'matching dataset in the Yangtze Delta region,this study addresses the impact of native ties on employees'organizational commitment.This paper finds that shared native connections between employer and employee can effectively enhance employees'organizational commitment.As the ties gets stronger,employees'organizational commitment becomes stronger.The enterprises'internal labor market functions as an effective conditional variable.When the internal labor market becomes more fluid,the native ties become less effective in promoting organizational commitment.
