Contingency analysis for effective administration

Pat Joynt

Omega, 1977, vol. 5, issue 4, 425-435

Abstract: Contingency theory has had a strong influence in recent administration analysis and organization theory. Much of the previous work has been limited by the number of contingencies analyzed. This article reports on the findings from 56 Norwegian companies and attempts to analyze the contingencies of effectiveness, efficiency, innovation and satisfaction using the independent variables of environment, structure, technology, communication, motivation, decision making and job design.
