Abstract

Purpose: The aim of the present work is to advance in a topic that has received little attention in the literature: normative diagnosis; contributing new empirical evidence to a recently proposed model: The Evaluative Model of Normative Appeals (EMNA). Design/methodology/approach: Two field studies were carried out. In Study 1 we tested the EMNA premises by appraising a normative appeal in a university organizational context (N = 304). In Study 2, we contributed to the predictive validity of the model by analyzing the perception and adherence with two normative appeals in the context of labor organizations (N = 296). Findings: The results of both studies supported the premises of the EMNA and its potential as a normative diagnostic tool for the organizational context. Research limitations/implications: The EMNA should be analyzed in relation to other models in order to complement its explanatory and diagnostic value. The results obtained and the validity of the scales should be tested in new samples from different countries. Practical implications: From an applied point of view, the EMNA represents a tool to support the diagnosis and management of organizational normative appeals in at least two situations: in establishing predictions regarding levels of adherence or willingness to comply, and in monitoring the effectiveness of the measures that have been adopted to modify the perception of certain regulations. Social implications: The transgression of the rules generates large direct (e.g., money laundering, corruption) and indirect losses (e.g., loss of prestige, dysfunctional behavior), so achieving more efficient regulatory management is a constant challenge, both socially and organizationally. The present work represents an advance in the challenge of reducing the levels of transgression and its associated costs. Originality/value: The present work provides complementary evidence that supports the utility of a recently proposed model, as a tool for normative diagnosis in the organizational field.

迈向组织背景下的规范诊断模型:规范诉求的评估模型

目的:目前工作的目的是推进一个在文献中很少受到关注的主题:规范诊断;为最近提出的一个模型提供了新的经验证据:规范性诉求的评估模型(EMNA)。设计/方法/方法:进行了两次实地研究。在研究1中，我们通过评估大学组织背景下的规范性诉求来测试EMNA前提(N = 304)。在研究2中，我们通过分析劳工组织背景下两种规范性诉求的感知和依从性(N = 296)，为模型的预测有效性做出了贡献。研究结果:两项研究的结果都支持了EMNA的前提及其作为组织环境规范性诊断工具的潜力。研究局限/启示:EMNA应与其他模型相结合进行分析，以补充其解释和诊断价值。得到的结果和量表的有效性应该在不同国家的新样本中进行测试。实际意义:从应用的角度来看，EMNA代表了至少在两种情况下支持组织规范性诉求的诊断和管理的工具:建立关于遵守或遵守意愿水平的预测，以及监测已采取的措施的有效性，以修改某些法规的看法。社会影响:违反规则会产生巨大的直接损失(例如，洗钱、腐败)和间接损失(例如，声望损失、功能失调行为)，因此，实现更有效的监管管理是一个持续的挑战，无论是社会上还是组织上。目前的工作表明，在降低违法行为水平及其相关成本的挑战方面取得了进展。原创性/价值:目前的工作提供了补充证据，支持最近提出的模型的效用，作为组织领域的规范性诊断工具。

期刊介绍： The aim of Intangible Capital is to publish theoretical and empirical articles that contribute to contrast, extend and build theories that contribute to advance our understanding of phenomena related with management, and the management of intangibles, in organizations, from the perspectives of strategic management, human resource management, psychology, education, IT, supply chain management and accounting. The scientific research in management is grounded on theories developed from perspectives taken from a diversity of social sciences. Intangible Capital is open to publish articles that, from sociology, psychology, economics and industrial organization contribute to the scientific development of management and organizational science. Intangible Capital publishes scholar articles that contribute to contrast existing theories, or to build new theoretical approaches. The contributions can adopt confirmatory (quantitative) or explanatory (mainly qualitative) methodological approaches. Theoretical essays that enhance the building or extension of theoretical approaches are also welcome. Intangible Capital selects the articles to be published with a double bind, peer review system, following the practices of good scholarly journals. Intangible Capital publishes three regular issues per year following an open access policy. On-line publication allows to reduce publishing costs, and to make more agile the process of reviewing and edition. Intangible Capital defends that open access publishing fosters the advance of scientific knowledge, making it available to everyone. Intangible Capital publishes articles in English, Spanish and Catalan.
