Neuroscience and organizational behavior: Avoiding both neuro‐euphoria and neuro‐phobia
探讨了组织神经科学在推动组织研究与实践中的潜力,同时指出了技术和方法上的挑战,并讨论了还原论、研究意义及管理时尚等关键问题,为学者避免常见误区提供了路线图。
Summary Organizational neuroscience has great promise for advancing organizational research and practice. The field, however, is developing rapidly and has also become the subject of technological and methodological challenges that must be considered when conducting or interpreting neuroscience research as applied to organizational behavior. We explore four issues we deem to be important in understanding the role of neuroscience in organizational behavior research: (i) neuroscientific research and reductionism; (ii) the need to address methodological and technological challenges in conducting this type of research; (iii) how neuroscientific research is meaningful in organizations (the “So what?” issue); and (iv) neuroscience as just another management fad. In addressing these issues, we hope to set out a roadmap that will enable organizational scholars to avoid past mistakes and thus serve to advance multidisciplinary research in organizational behavior using neuroscientific approaches.
