Addiction and Organization Studies
提出成瘾不仅是个人或公共卫生问题,还嵌入组织实践,通过设计成瘾性商品和结构化习惯行为被组织塑造,并呼吁研究其组织维度和机制。
Addiction is not just an individual or public health issue. It is also embedded in organizational practices. We argue that addiction is engineered through the design of addictive goods and the structuring of habitual patterns of behaviour incentivized by organizations. We conceptualize how organizing sustains addictive behaviours by creating and reinventing what we term new objects and subjects of addiction. By conceptualizing addiction as an organizational phenomenon, we foreground its embeddedness in institutional, technological and economic arrangements. We then set out an agenda for further research on its organizational dimensions and the mechanisms that sustain and mitigate it.
