研究人员越来越多地提倡阐明组织或组织过程的脆弱性而不是坚固性的理论和方法，无论是基于意义建构和社会建构主义，还是对新的、流动的组织形式的管理导向研究的产生，还是对后现代主义持久兴趣的结果（Clegg＆Hardy，1996）。话语研究正在成为分析复杂组织现象和研究动态的、常常是虚幻的组织特征的主要手段之一（Fairclough, 1995; Grant et al., 1998; Keenoy et al., 1997; Oswick et al., 1997; Potter & Wetherell, 1987; van Dijk, 1997）。在这期《人际关系》特刊中，我们介绍了五篇文章，每一个都通过运用话语认识论来关注一个特定的组织问题或一组问题。该特刊将提供对与组织话语相关的理论发展的见解，提供实证工作的例子，并为管理和组织理论的研究人员提供重要的启示。本介绍性文章分为三个主要部分。首先，我们简要概述“组织话语”作为一个重要且不断发展的探究领域的本质和起源。其次，我们提供了一个话语框架，可以在其中定位后续的贡献并进行情境化。最后，我们对本期特刊中的每篇文章进行简要评论。
Researchers are increasingly advocating theories and methodologies that illuminate the fragility, rather than the solidity, of organizations or organizing processes, whether grounded in sensemaking and social constructionism, the production of managerially oriented research into new, fluid organizational forms, or an outcome of an enduring interest in postmodernism (Clegg & Hardy, 1996). The study of discourse is emerging as one of the primary means of analysing complex organizational phenomena and engaging with the dynamic, and often illusive, features of organizing (Fairclough, 1995; Grant et al., 1998; Keenoy et al., 1997; Oswick et al., 1997; Potter & Wetherell, 1987; van Dijk, 1997).In this special issue of Human Relations we present five articles, each of which focuses on a particular organizational issue or set of issues through the deployment of a discursive epistemology. The special issue will provide insights into the theoretical developments associated with organizational discourse (s), present examples of empirical work, and draw important implications for researchers in management and organization theory. There are three main parts to this introductory piece. First, we briefly outline the nature and origins of “organizational discourse” as a significant and growing field of inquiry. Second, we provide a discursive framework within which the subsequent contributions can be located and contextualized. And finally, we offer a brief commentary on each of the articles contained in this special issue.
