Some Remarks on Theoretical Individualism, Alienation, and Work
评论社会科学中个人主义偏向对劳动与组织研究的影响，认为这种偏向掩盖了劳动的沟通或辩证本质，并导致对社会生活的异化理解。
This paper offers some comments on the relationship between the “individualistic” bias in social scientific conceptions of human behavior and studies of work and organization. It is claimed that such bias suppresses the real nature of the work process which is “communicative” or dialectical and produces an “alienated” conception of social life. Two models of work -the rational and natural models, derived from the writings of Gouldner and Habermas - are then briefly discussed.
