Relationality in Organizational Research: ExploringThe Space Between
为组织研究者提供了一套方法论选择，包括网络分析、复杂性建模等，以捕捉组织生活中的关系性和相互依赖本质，帮助学者将关系视角操作化。
Relationships and interactions should be an important focus of attention in organizational scholarship. In contrast to traditional research approaches that focus on independent, discrete entities, methodologies oriented to relational concerns in organizations allow researchers to study the intersubjective and interdependent nature of organizational life. In addition to providing historical and philosophical bases for a perspective which emphasizes relationality, we review the growing number of methods that capture relational aspects of organizational life. Examples include network analysis, and “complexity” modeling, correspondence analysis and participatory research, case study methods, the learning history approach, psychometrics, and action inquiry. Our goal is to establish a “palette” of methodological choices for the researcher interested in operationalizing a relational perspective within organizational research/practice.
