Action Research: Rethinking Lewin
回顾了行动研究的历史与当代定义,描述了其过程和目标,并通过一家高科技公司两个团队的案例展示了行动研究如何通过行动与反思的循环解决深层次组织问题。
Fifty years after Kurt Lewin invented the idea of action research, action research remains an umbrella term for a host of activities intended to foster change on the group, organizational, and even societal levels. This article explores both historical and contemporary definitions of action research and describes the process and goals of action research. Located in the tradition of Lewin, organizational action research involves cross-functional teams who address deep-rooted organizational issues through recurring cycles of action and reflection. A case example of an action research project involving two teams in a high technology corporation depicts the process in action.
