How Can We Know What We Think Until We See What We Said?: A Citation and Citation Context Analysis of Karl Weick’s The Social Psychology of Organizing
分析了卡尔·韦克经典著作《组织的社会心理学》在组织研究领域的影响力,通过引文和引文语境分析发现12个核心概念占引用的67.6%,且该书被引内容多样,但批评和实证检验较少。
A substantial portion of Karl Weick’s influence on organization studies is based upon his classic book The Social Psychology of Organizing (abbreviated as Organizing). A citation analysis shows the magnitude of this influence compared to five other organization studies classics, and reveals that Organizing continues to be highly cited. A citation context analysis (i.e. content analysis) of all citations to Weick (1979) in three top organization studies journals ( Academy of Management Review, Administrative Science Quarterly, and Organization Studies) shows that 12 concepts account for 67.6% of citations to Organizing, but that the book is cited for a remarkable diversity of additional content as well. Furthermore, a consideration of differences between the concepts cited in the US journals versus Organization Studies reveals several regional differences. Finally, very few citations are critical of Organizing or involve empirical tests. These results hold a variety of implications for future research.
