A Critique of Theory Z
批判Ouchi的Z理论，该理论基于涂尔干思想，将大公司视为工业社会的社群替代品，但日本案例证据不足，且其人文主义管理基础缺乏依据。
Ouchi's Theory Z prescribes how employees should be motivated for increased productivity. Based on the theoretical work of Emile Durkheim, it views the modern large corporation as a communal alternative to the shortcomings of other institutions in industrial mass society. Ouchi's assertion that Japan is the industrial society in which Theory Z has flourished received limited support from research findings. Moreover, Ouchi's grounding of the theory in humanistic management seem unwarranted.
