The Social Processes of Organizational Sensemaking
一项纵向研究揭示了组织意义建构的四种社会过程形式：引导式、碎片式、受限式和最小式，这些形式取决于领导者和利益相关者参与“意义给予”的程度，并影响最终的解释和行动。
A longitudinal study of the social processes of organizational sensemaking suggests that they unfold in four distinct forms: guided, fragmented, restricted, and minimal. These forms result from the degree to which leaders and stakeholders engage in “sensegiving”—attempts to influence others' understandings of an issue. Each of the four forms of organizational sensemaking is associated with a distinct set of process characteristics that capture the dominant pattern of interaction. They also each result in particular outcomes, specifically, the nature of the accounts and actions generated.
