Organization, Trust and Control: A Realist Analysis
用批判实在论视角分析复杂组织内外的信任与控制关系，将其视为相互关联的“定位实践”结构，这些结构生成、塑造并约束专家权力的发展，并通过历史与制度案例展示其解释力。
This paper develops a critical realist analysis of trust/control relations within and between complex organizations. It suggests that trust/control relations are most usefully seen as structures of interrelated `positioned-practices' which generate, shape and constrain the development of contrasting forms of expert power in a range of organizational contexts. The paper opens with a general overview of a number of currently influential theoretical perspectives on trust/control relations in social and organizational analysis. It then proceeds to advance a critical realist analysis of trust/control relations as generative mechanisms that govern, but do not determine, the production, reproduction and transformation of expert power. The explanatory significance of this realist analysis is illustrated by reference to a limited number of historical and institutional case studies on expert technologies and practices
