We find that effective organizational separation depends on generating two types of respect—appraisal and recognition respect—between the divesting and divested units. Appraisal respect involves showing appreciation for competence or the effort to achieve it, while recognition respect requires considering what someone cares about—such as values or concerns—and acknowledging that they matter. The process model we develop shows that open communication is crucial to the development of both. We also find that certain attempts to gain organizational independence and respect may unintentionally undermine the development of autonomy. Counterintuitively, we find that increasing or maintaining interorganizational links via communication may facilitate organizational separation, while attempts by units to distance themselves from one another may unintentionally inhibit it. By linking organizational separation, autonomy, independence, and respect, this paper develops theory on organizational separation processes and more generally enhances our understanding of organizational autonomy and its relations with mutual respect.</p> <p> Mon, 04 Jun 2018 19:11:33 +0000 julie.lapalme@mcgill.ca 68758 at /desautels /desautels/research/desautels-top-tier-publications/administrative-science-quarterly <p><big><em><a href="http://www.johnson.cornell.edu/Administrative-Science-Quarterly" target="_blank">Administrative Science Quarterly</a></em> (ASQ) has been at the cutting edge of organizational studies since the field began.
