现有的组织话语方法，我们将其称为“管理主义”、“解释性”和“批判性”，要么是以牺牲结构为代价的特权代理，要么是反过来。这种紧张关系更普遍地反映了社会科学中的话语方法之间的矛盾，但在组织背景下更为尖锐，因为在组织背景下，话语通常是时间和背景具体的，并且充满了工具意图的归属。作为对组织话语更复杂理解的基础，我们借鉴了吉登斯的工作，提出了一种结构主义概念化，即话语被视为交际行为和结构属性的二元性，通过行为者的解释方案的形式递归地联系在一起。最后，我们探讨了这种概念化的一些理论含义及其对组织话语分析方法论的影响。
Existing approaches to organizational discourse, which we label as 'managerialist', 'interpretive' and 'critical', either privilege agency at the expense of structure or the other way around. This tension reflects that between approaches to discourse in the social sciences more generally but is sharper in the organizational context, where discourse is typically temporally and contextually specific and imbued with attributions of instrumental intent. As the basis for a more sophisticated understanding of organizational discourse, we draw on the work of Giddens to develop a structurational conceptualization in which discourse is viewed as a duality of communicative actions and structural properties, recursively linked through the modality of actors' interpretive schemes. We conclude by exploring some of the theoretical implications of this conceptualization and its consequences for the methodology of organizational discourse analysis.abs>
