Relationally Reflexive Practice
指出组织理论发展面临多重相互强化的问题,抑制了生成性辩论和新理论创造,提出采用关系性反思实践来改进质性方法的应用,从而提升管理研究中的理论生成能力。
In this article we explain how the development of new organization theory faces several mutually reinforcing problems, which collectively suppress generative debate and the creation of new and alternative theories. We argue that to overcome these problems, researchers should adopt relationally reflexive practices. This does not lead to an alternative method but instead informs how methods are applied. Specifically, we advocate a stance toward the application of qualitative methods that legitimizes insights from the situated life-with-others of the researcher. We argue that this stance can improve our abilities for generative theorizing in the field of management and organization studies.
