本研究探讨组织如何在其正常运作中构建和管理风险对象作为危害-效益的二元性。它超越了目前对事故、灾难和危机的关注。我们研究了35家保险公司的风险转移过程,他们在保险组合中保留风险以增加盈利收益,并将风险转移到再保险以减少支付索赔的损害。我们表明,组织的风险结构是由集中、计算和多样化的日常风险管理实践所支撑的。通过这些实践的变化,并不是所有的组织都寻求平衡,我们反过来揭示了抽象和本地化的意义生成过程,这些过程使组织能够优先考虑危害或利益。这有助于通过阐明风险感知过程和日常风险管理实践之间的共构关系的风险文献。随着风险对象作为损益来源的复杂联系的建立,我们的分析也有助于二元性的文献。它表明,虽然会发生损益之间的直接权衡,但优先考虑二元性的一个要素最终是实现另一个要素的手段。因此,虽然最初的不平衡是显而易见的,但优先排序可以成为一种导航二元性的有利方法。
This study examines how organizations construct and manage risk objects as a duality of harm–benefit within their normal operations. It moves beyond the existing focus on accidents, disasters and crisis. We study the risk‐transfer processes of 35 insurers where they navigate the tension of retaining risk in their insurance portfolio to increase the benefit of making profit and transferring risk to reinsurance to reduce the harm of paying claims. We show that organizations’ constructions of risk are underpinned by everyday risk management practices of centralizing, calculating and diversifying. Through variation in these practices, not all organizations seek balance and we in turn uncover the sensemaking processes of abstracting and localizing that enable organizations to prioritize harm or benefit. This contributes to the risk literature by illuminating the co‐constitutive relationship between risk sensemaking processes and everyday risk management practices. Following the complex linkages involved in the construction of risk objects as sources of harm–benefit, our analysis also contributes to the literature on dualities. It shows that while immediate trade‐offs between harm–benefit occur, prioritizing one element of the duality is ultimately a means for attaining the other. Thus, while initial imbalance is evident, prioritization can be an enabling approach to navigating duality.
