The Case for the Natural Science Model For Research in Organizational Behavior And Organization Theory
回应了近期对组织行为与组织理论研究中采用自然科学方法的质疑，分析五大反对意见后认为，这些意见虽提示需更审慎应用，但并未否定其作为主要研究策略的合理性。
Research methods similar to those used in the natural sciences have long been the norm in organizational behavior and organization theory. However, several writers have recently questioned their appropriateness for the study of organizations and the groups and individuals who make them up. In this paper I examine five major objections to the use of such methods in organizational behavior and organization theory and conclude that, while they may indicate a need for more thoughtful application of the natural science approach, they do not rule it out as the primary research strategy for the study of organizations.
