作者在五个实质性领域考察了民族志对组织社会学的贡献:(1)非正式关系的阐述,(2)作为意义系统的组织,(3)组织及其环境,(4)组织变革,以及(5)伦理和规范行为。然后,他们讨论了民族志学者通常提出的三个主张:民族志提供了深度、多角度和过程。这些主张允许它做出独特的贡献,但也在控制、偏见和通用性方面造成了权衡。作者认为,重新兴起的组织民族志兴趣对其系统性实践和评估其跨学科使用的标准的发展所产生的影响。
The authors examine the contributions of ethnography to organizational sociology in five substantive areas: (1) the elaboration of informal relations, (2) organizations as systems of meaning, (3) organizations and their environments, (4) organizational change, and (5) ethics and normative behavior. They then discuss three claims that ethnographers typically make: that ethnography provides for depth, multiple perspectives, and process. These claims permit its unique contributions but also create trade-offs in terms of control, bias, and generalizability. The authors conclude by considering the implications that the resurgent interest in organizational ethnography holds for its systematic practice and the development of standards to evaluate its cross-disciplinary usage.
