自2003年Meckler和Baillie在该杂志上发表文章以来，关于组织研究中客观性的性质和可达性的辩论已经取得了丰硕的成果。作者认为，虽然不可能知道一个理论主张是否是认识上客观的，但当它被认为与“给定”--经验发现、主观/主体间性思想、思想和感情以及他人的意见和文化范畴--一致时，它可能被认为是可信的。在研究过程中以及在科学界内部，都会出现抵制和适应的过程，从而增强了某些理论主张对其他理论主张的可接受性。被接受的理论反馈到研究过程中，以及其主题，从而影响主观/主体间的判断的合理性。在评估理论主张的可论证性时，公开、诚实和负责是特别重要的。
Since the 2003 article by Meckler and Baillie in this journal, a fruitful debate has taken place on the nature and attainability of objectivity in the study of organizations. The author argues that though it is impossible to know whether a theoretical claim is epistemically objective or not, it may be accepted as plausible when it is felt to be in some accordance with “the given”— empirical findings, subjective/intersubjective ideas, thoughts and feelings, and the opinions of and cultural categories used by others. Processes of resistance and accommodation occur during research as well as within scientific communities, enhancing the plausibility of certain theoretical claims over others. Accepted theories feed back into the research process as well as its subject matter, thereby affecting subjective/intersubjective judgments of plausibility. Openness, honesty, and responsibility are particularly important in the evaluation of the plausibility of theoretical claims.
