组织经常成为社会活动家的目标，旨在通过首先改变组织政策和实践来影响社会。反映该主题研究的稳步增长，我们回顾了最近的文献并提出了内部-外部框架，以帮助解释所涉及的不同机制和途径。我们的框架根据不同类型的活动家与目标组织的关系来区分他们。例如，作为目标组织雇员的内部活动人士与作为独立社会运动组织成员的外部活动人士相比，具有一定的优势和劣势。我们还区分社会活动的直接和间接（或溢出）影响。许多研究都集中在激进主义对目标组织的直接影响上，但对于激进主义者实现广泛变革的目标来说，对非目标组织的影响往往更重要。借鉴这个框架，我们确定并讨论了需要进一步学术关注的八个具体领域。
Organizations are frequent targets for social activists aiming to influence society by first altering organizational policies and practices. Reflecting a steady rise in research on this topic, we review recent literature and advance an insider-outsider framework to help explicate the diverse mechanisms and pathways involved. Our framework distinguishes between different types of activists based on their relationship with targeted organizations. For example, insider activists who are employees of the target organization have certain advantages and disadvantages when compared with outsider activists who are members of independent social movement organizations. We also distinguish between the direct and indirect (or spillover) effects of social activism. Much research has focused on the direct effects of activism on targeted organizations, but often the effects on non-targeted organizations matter more for activists goals of achieving widespread change. Drawing on this framework, we identify and discuss eight specific areas that are in need of further scholarly attention.
