The Content Analysis And Development Of Instrument Of Organization Improvisation

The main topic of this dissertation is on the measurable problems of organization improvisation. This dissertation unearths all aspects of content which organization improvisation contains by using Grounded Theory and Structural Equation Model, quantitatively and qualitatively. The following three points aroused my researching interests:Firstly, the definitions of organization improvisation are various, but still be not unified; Secondly, the measurement problems of organization improvisation is still a little in our country, and the reseraches in foreign countries is still localized; Thirdly, the external environment is full of high degree of uncertainty and the complete tasks are full of time pressure, so the ability of organization improvisation is very important for such enterprise.This dissertation, based on the above mentioned, discusses the measurement problems of organization improvisation, in a quantitative and qualitative combined way. Firstly, this dissertation discusses the contents of dimensions of organization improvisation, with Grounded Theory, gets the model organization improvisation in terms of qualitative. Then, checking the model with SEM in terms of quantitative to modify the result of qualitative research, and recruit research consequence. We have organized this dissertation into four chapters.Chapter 1, putted the main issue of this research forward, expounded the status of organization improvisation researches both home and abroad, then explained the necessity, meaning, creative point, research methods, and framework of this research.Chapter 2, reviewed the definition of organization improvisation, theories and the empirical studies of organization improvisation.Chapter 3 is empirical study of organization improvisation. First initiate quantitative and qualitative research on this interviews. This dissertation used Grounded Theory in qualitative research after interview. And it used SPSS 16.0 to do exploratory factor analysis, AMOS 17.0 to do confirmatory factor analysis and SEM, both based on the questionnaire survey of organization improvisation. Finally, we developed a questionnaire of organization improvisation, which is of great reliability and validity. This chapter is also the key point and essence of this dissertation.Chapter 4, drew a conclusion of this dissertation, gave advice, illuminated the progress and limitation, and forecasted.In brief, this dissertation discussed organization improvisation perspective in a quantitative and qualitative combined way. On the research content, Grounded Theory in qualitative research based on case study provided factual details for the contents of dimensions of organization improvisation. At the same time, quantitative analysis checked and modified the initial theoretical model which acquired from qualitative research. The two different research paradigms mutually complemented. The result of qualitative research suggested that there are three dimensions of organization improvisation letting go, making do and making use of existing resources. Quantitative analysis checked and modified the questionnaire survey of organization improvisation which acquired from qualitative research.
