Critical–reflexive–political: Dismantling the reproduction of dominance in organisational learning processes
基于布迪厄实践理论,提出批判、反思和政治三个要素,用于识别和拆解组织学习过程中群体支配地位的微妙运作,对关注权力与组织学习的学者有参考价值。
This article identifies and addresses the need for a stronger engagement of power-sensitive organisational learning research with societal power relations and related issues of persisting dominance. Based on Bourdieu’s theory of practice, I lay a theoretical foundation to explain the reproduction of dominance structures in micro-level learning processes. Departing from this foundation, I define a conceptual triad as necessary elements to identify and dismantle the subtle workings of group dominance in organisational learning processes. Each of the triad’s elements – being critical, being reflexive and being political – expands currently underexposed issues in organisational learning research regarding understandings of context, reflexivity and practice-oriented responsibility.
