Para los autores del presente artículo, las estructuras organizativas tradicionales, modelo piramidal, garantizan el control sobre los objetivos organizativos a través de la disciplina. Pero estos modelos de coordinación y control sólo son eficaces cuando son pocos los objetivos a alcanzar. Frente a estos diseños organizativos, las estructuras esféricas, más ágiles y flexibles, permiten hacer frente con mayor eficacia a los actuales entornos fuertemente complejos, dinámicos y turbulentos. En este marco, los autores consideran que el compromiso personal es la variable básica que garantiza el funcionamiento de estas estructuras emergentes. Estudiar las formas de influencia de los directivos sobre sus colaboradores y estudiar si estas influencias generan o no «compromiso», es la finalidad del presente trabajo.
