Replication and Theory Development in Organizational Science: A Critical Realist Perspective
从批判实在论视角评估复制在理论发展中的作用，回应社会科学中复制不可行的反对意见，将复制分为六种类型，并提出多焦点知识积累模式以整合组织科学中常见的分散模式。
In this article we assess, from a critical realist perspective, the role played by replication in theory development. We first present a concise review of critical realism and then reply to the objection that replication is not possible in the social sciences. We go on to classify replications into six types along two dimensions. Finally, we present a detailed argument for the significance of replication in social science research and propose a multifocal pattern of knowledge accumulation to be integrated with the scattered pattern commonly found in organizational science.
