社会科学和精确科学的发展是因为科学家从事科学实践，使他们能够在其科学学科中进一步扩展和提炼科学概念。对于什么是允许科学学科中的科学概念扩展和发展的基本实践，科学家之间存在分歧。有一种观点认为，概念扩张受到理性实践的制约。然而，另一组人认为，概念性的扩张是按照“一切顺利”的思路进行的。本文的目的是检验科学概念在组织行为学领域中是否以理性的方式扩展。我们将以组织氛围和文化为例。本研究的实质包括两个核心概念：一个是组织氛围中的概念，另一个是组织文化中的概念。似乎围绕这些核心概念增加了几个概念变体。这些变化受到理性科学实践的限制。换句话说，有证据表明，组织行为领域是理性发展的。
Developments within social and exact sciences take place because scientists engage in scientific practices that allow them to further expand and refine the scientific concepts within their scientific disciplines. There is disagreement among scientists as to what the essential practices are that allow scientific concepts within a scientific discipline to expand and evolve. One group looks at conceptual expansion as something that is being constrained by rational practices. Another group, however, suggests that conceptual expansion proceeds along the lines of 'everything goes'. The goal of this paper is to test whether scientific concepts expand in a rational way within the field of organizational behaviour. We will use organizational climate and culture as examples. The essence of this study consists of two core concepts: one within organizational climate and one within organizational culture. It appears that several conceptual variations are added around these core concepts. The variations are constrained by rational scientific practices. In other terms, there is evidence that the field of organizational behaviour develops rationally.
