文献在很大程度上倾向于认为组织不同于社会过程和机构,并强调组织的趋同和“无文化”元素。本文通过对法国、西德德国和英国密切匹配的工厂进行跨国比较,表明存在着比通常认识到的更普遍的差异。分化和整合的组织过程可以被看作是与教育、培训、招聘和提升人力资源的过程相互作用的过程,因此,两者都在一个社会特有的制度逻辑中发展,并带来国家不同的组织形式。因此,组织差异可以被认为与专业性的不同程度和维度有关。比较表明,一个多维度的专业性的概念是必要的,在相反的片面强调的社会地位和正式的知识维度通常在文献中发现。
The literature has largely tended to consider organizations as distinct from societal processes and institutions, and to emphasize convergent and 'culture-free' elements of organization. By cross-national comparisons of closely matched factories in France, West Germany, and Great Britain, this paper shows that more pervasive differences exist than are usually recognized. Organizational processes of differentiation and inte gration can be seen to consistently interact with processes of educating, training, recruiting, and promoting manpower, so that both develop within an institutional logic that is particular to a society, and bring about nationally different shapes of organiza tion. Organizational differences can thus be considered as linked to different extents and dimensions of professionalty. Comparisons show that a multidimensional concept of professionality is called for, in contrast to the one-sided emphasis on the social status and formal knowledge dimension usually found in the literature.
