Abstract:The purpose of this research is to investigate current driver control practices from the driver's viewpoint in order to better understand the motives and actions of truck drivers. This research extends current theory concerning driver control as well as offering information potentially helpful to practitioners. It fills a gap in the research that failed to include driver input. The approach taken in this research is theory elaboration, using interviews with truck drivers as the primary source of data. We found evidence within the formal control area that not only the extent but also the type of activity control used can affect driver attitudes and behaviors, and that not all output-control programs may be effective. In the informal control area, we found evidence that unions can positively affect professional control, that organizational climate is an important factor in influencing drivers, and that informal controls may be more influential than formal control types. Our findings add confirmation to the existing control framework, while extending the framework to include the influence of unions and organizational climate.

驾驶员控制实践：驾驶员的声音

摘要：本研究的目的是从驾驶员的角度调查当前的驾驶员控制实践，以便更好地了解卡车驾驶员的动机和行为。这项研究扩展了当前有关驾驶员控制的理论，并提供了可能对从业者有用的信息。它填补了未能包括驾驶员输入的研究空白。本研究采用的方法是理论阐述，使用对卡车司机的采访作为主要数据来源。我们在正式控制区域内发现了证据，表明所使用的活动控制的程度和类型都会影响驾驶员的态度和行为，并且并非所有的输出控制程序都可能有效。在非正式控制领域，我们发现了工会可以对职业控制产生积极影响的证据，组织氛围是影响驱动因素的重要因素，非正式控制可能比正式控制类型更有影响力。我们的研究结果证实了现有的控制框架，同时扩展了框架以包括工会和组织气候的影响。
