Faith,Theoria, and OMT: A Christian and a Buddhist Walk Into a Business School ...
区分信仰与信念,提出组织管理理论观照(OMTia)概念,并构建一个过程模型说明信仰如何通过OMTia影响主流组织管理理论,辅以佛教和基督教视角的第一人称实例。
Although there is considerable agreement that mainstream organization and management theory (OMT) has been undergirded by religious faith and beliefs, we nevertheless lack a well-developed understanding of how contemporary scholars’ faiths may serve to inform OMT. In this paper we differentiate between faith and belief, describe the idea of organization and management theoria (OMTia), and then develop a process model that describes how faith informs OMTia, which in turn informs OMT. The paper presents two illustrative first-person accounts of the process model in practice, one from a Buddhist perspective and the other from a Christian perspective. We conclude with implications for future research.
