我们把学术研究实验室作为难以驾驭的治理场所的例子。由于教职员工的专业地位、科学工作对外界的不透明以及组织中政策和实践的松散耦合，这些领域经常逃避监管警告和规则。我们描述了一所大学创建实验室健康、安全和环境危害管理系统的努力，从而约束了传统的教职员工忽视行政和法律程序的习惯。我们展示了安全经理在创建系统响应性时所面临的具体斗争，即反馈以重新引导不合规的实验室实践。我们展示了如何使教职员工免受其活动后果的影响，从而阻碍了责任和问责的目标。最后，我们问这样的棘手问题在其他组织中的位置，以及周围的缓冲，如果有的话，是否仍然可能矛盾地创造出有效的安全边际。
We examine academic research laboratories as examples of intractable governance sites. These spaces often elude regulatory warnings and rules because of the professional status of faculty members, the opacity of scientific work to outsiders, and loose coupling of policy and practice in organizations. We describe one university’s efforts to create a system for managing laboratory health, safety, and environmental hazards, thereby constraining conventional faculty habit to ignore administrative and legal procedures. We demonstrate the specific struggles safety managers face in creating system responsiveness, that is, feedback to re-channel noncompliant laboratory practices. We show how faculty members are buffered from the consequences of their activities, thus impeding the goals of responsibility and accountability. We conclude by asking where such pockets of intractability reside in other organizations and whether the surrounding buffer, if there is one, may nonetheless paradoxically create an effective margin of safety.
