Abstract/Contents

Abstract

Technical Report no.10 is about systems and Technical Report no. 10 (Revised) is about structures.
The authors develop theoretical foundation for ideas in earlier TRs and elsewhere on status consistency, focusing on effects for organizations. When disequilibrated (inconsistent) ranks of individuals and jobs become salient, organizational stability is weakened. This TR was published by the authors (1966).
Later published in "Sociological Theories in Progress", vol.1, pp.269-294.
