ON THE ETIOLOGY OF CLIMATES
回顾了气候研究的概念和方法进展，基于米德的符号互动论提出一个整合性概念框架，探讨气候成因及其对测量、组织气候管理和气候随时间变化的意义。
A review of some of the conceptual and methodological progress that has been made in the area of climate research is presented. A discussion of current thinking on the etiology of climates follows, and an integrative conceptual scheme is developed. This perspective is based on Mead's (1934) symbolic interactionism as the process through which individuals come to attach meaning to events. Implications of this approach to the etiology of climates are discussed with respect to measurement issues, the management of climate acquisition in organizations, and the change and development of climates over time.
