Hawthorne, Topeka, and the Issue of Science Versus Advocacy in Organizational Behavior
探讨组织行为学者同时作为科学家和倡导者时,双重角色如何可能给该领域的文献带来问题,并以霍桑研究和通用食品托皮卡工厂为例。
Many organizational behaviorists adopt dual roles in the course of their careers: as scientists with an academic responsibility for scholarship and as consultants advocating what they believe to be more effective organizational forms and managerial methods. This paper examines how these dual roles potentially can create problems for the literature of organizational behavior. The Hawthorne studies and the General Foods Topeka Plant are selected us examples.
