Influence of attitudes On Organizational Control

Department of Political Science University of Toledo

Attitudes of middle-level managers in the Wisconsin State Employment Service are examined as an influence on behavior consistent or contrary to organizational goals and objectives. Shortly after a period of significant change in mission, managers' attitudes toward the change correlated with the performance of their offices in implementing the change. Moreover, responses by the resistant managers to the measures of need explicitly sanctioned by the organization, compared to their responses to implicitly sanctioned measures, forces a significant qualification to Blau's formulation about the importance of impersonal statistical data as a source of control.
