The Usefulness of Myth and the Myth of Usefulness: A Dilemma for the Applied Organizational Scientist
借用Ernest Becker的存在心理学，论证组织通过提供神话框架使行动成为可能，但科学认知需要解构神话，这给应用组织科学家带来两难困境。
The existential psychology of Ernest Becker (1971, 1973, 1975) is used to argue that organizations exist to provide a framework of myth which makes action possible. What they see as "useful" consists in furtherance of the myth. But knowledge about organizations requires seeing the myth as a myth: demythologizing. This poses a dilemma for the applied organizational scientist.
