Team 13 - lily cheng, jing hu, shirley kum, miranda wong, jiyeon yoo, mingyu zhang. Phillips, d. j. , & zuckerman, e. w. 2001. In the article published in 2001, middle-status conformity: theoretical restatement and. J. phillips and ezra w. zuckerman stated that conformity is high in the middle yet low at the top and bottom of a status hierarchy , forming an inverted u-shaped curve (phillips and zuckerman, 2001, p. 379). In order to validate this ius relationship between status and conformity, phillips and zuckerman developed a theoretical framework to indicate the existence of three possible statuses: high, middle, and low. Moreover, they argue that ius conjecture only holds under the following scope conditions: social-psychological, structural, and action. By applying this framework, we propose to answer the following question, do organizations always act similarly? by identifying phillips and. Zuckerman"s arguments, evaluating and challenging the assumptions with real world organizational phenomena.
