组织设计的一致性模型表明，工厂经理和环境质量管理者之间的直接报告关系，环境绩效的货币激励，以及环境质量管理者和企业战略家之间的协调，减少工厂级的有毒物质排放。我们在美国电子设施的大样本中测试了这些关系。只有将工厂经理的薪酬与环境绩效挂钩，才能减少排放。随后的分析支持一个反向的因果关系，表明组织特征的结果（而不是原因）的排放性能和企业仍然对环境问题的反应。这些研究结果面临的理论环境管理和一致性与挑衅性的问题，我们深入讨论。
A congruence model of organizational design suggests that direct reporting relationships between plant managers and environmental quality managers, monetary incentives for environmental performance, and coordination between environmental quality managers and business strategists reduce plant-level toxic emissions. We tested these relationships in a large sample of U.S. electronics facilities. Only a link between plant manager compensation and environmental performance reduced emissions. Subsequent analyses support a reverse causality, suggesting organizational characteristics result from (rather than cause) emissions performance and that firms remain reactive on environmental issues. These findings confront theories of environmental management and congruence with provocative questions, which we discuss in depth.
