Stability and Change as Simultaneous Experiences in Organizational Life
讨论组织与员工同时追求变革与稳定的现象,分析推动两者的个体、组织和社会力量,认为稳定与变革之间的张力是组织生活的必然部分。
Organizations and individual employees increasingly are pursuing change in how work is organized, how it is managed, and in who is carrying it out. At the same time, there are numerous individual, organizational, and societal forces promoting stability in work and employment relations. Here we discuss change and stability and the forces pushing individuals and organizations to pursue both. We argue that some level of tension between stability and change is an inevitable part of organizational life and that this tension must characterize research on work and organizations.
