The Problem of Human Agency in Organizational Analysis
探讨了“能动性问题”如何作为知识主题、方法论难题、道德关切和意识形态话语，塑造了组织分析领域的历史发展、理论争论、伦理辩论及社会政治相关性讨论。
This paper explores the manner in which 'the problem of agency' has been reflected in the development of organizational analysis as a field of study and as an intellectual practice. The development of the latter is seen to be shaped by successive attempts to come to terms with the former in four interrelated aspects. First, as an intellectual leitmotif directing the trajectory of the historical development of organizational analysis. Second, as an analytical and methodological conundrum focussing theoretical and technical debate within the field. Third, as a moral preoccupation shaping a wider ethical debate over the implications of organized action for individual conduct. Fourth, as an ideological discourse within which conflicting views concerning the socio-political relevance of complex organizations can be expressed. The general implications of this exploration for the present condition and future development of organizational analysis are also considered.
