本文提出了一个研究组织空间的综合框架。它表明，现有的研究可以分为三类：作为距离的空间研究、作为权力关系物化的空间研究和作为经验的空间研究。这些方法结合了Henri Lefebvre&apos的空间生产理论，认为对组织空间的充分理解将研究它们是如何被实践、计划和想象的。此外，一个适当的空间理论将解释多个空间层次或尺度。为了说明综合框架的潜力，本文介绍了来自社会人类学和经济地理学的三个关于多重组织空间的范例研究。论文最后提出了一个研究议程，表明如何数据收集和分析在既定领域，如员工关系和国际业务可能变得更加空间敏感，通过整合这种理论化的跨尺度分析。
This paper presents an integrated framework for studying organizational spaces. It suggests that existing research can be classed into three categories: studies of space as distance' studies of space as the materialization of power relations' and studies of space as experience. These approaches are drawn together using Henri Lefebvre&apos's theory of spatial production to argue that an adequate understanding of organizational spaces would investigate how they are practised, planned and imagined. Moreover, an adequate theory of space would account for multiple spatial levels, or scales. To illustrate the potential of the synthetic framework, a reading of three exemplary studies of multiple organizational spaces, from social anthropology and economic geography, is presented. The paper concludes by presenting a research agenda that indicates how data collection and analysis in established fields such as employee relations and international business might become more space sensitive by integrating such theorized cross-scale analysis.
