本文提出了一个研究政策知识传播建构的理论框架。关于公共政策和组织知识的研究表明，这些领域的重要性，为组织传播学者。在此基础上，本文提出了结构化活动理论作为结构化理论与文化历史活动理论的整合。讨论了四个理论结构：（a）通过活动的结构化，（B）社会活动的中介，（c）作为生成机制的矛盾，（d）活动系统的交叉点。六个命题提供了每一个结构的解释意义，然后该理论被应用到一个特殊教育政策知识构建的案例研究。最后，提出了结构化活动理论的其他应用，并对未来的研究方向提出了建议。
This article presents a theoretical framework for investigating the communicative construction of policy knowledge. Research regarding public policy and organizational knowledge demonstrates the importance of these areas for organizational communication scholars. In light of this research, structurating activity theory is offered as an integration of structuration theory and cultural-historical activity theory (CHAT). Four theoretical constructs are discussed: (a) structuration through activity, (b) mediation of social activity, (c) contradictions as generative mechanisms, and (d) intersections of activity systems. Six propositions offer the explanatory significance of each construct, and then the theory is applied to a case study of the construction of special education policy knowledge. Additional applications of structurating activity theory are proposed and suggestions for future research directions are offered.
