忠于参与者:组织管理研究价值取向的新趋势

Committed-to-participant: a New Direction for Value Orientations in Organizational Management Research

促使诸多组织管理研究变得无关痛痒和没有意义的真正原因在于,以"忠于管理"或"忠于科学"为主旨的传统价值取向存在功利倾向和潜在不足,前者过于强调组织利益,忽略个人利益和研究关联,后者过于关注论题独特性,远离社会生活。以"忠于参与者"为主旨的价值取向是对前两种价值取向的重要补充,该取向将研究者的责任延伸到了研究数据收集之后,研究者以"专业助手"的身份出发,更加关注员工的提升与幸福问题,在技术上要求与参与者最大限度地进行接触,在伦理上要求对参与者诚实,更有助于组织管理研究基本目标的达成和研究者社会责任感的提升。

The real reason for many organizational management researches to be of little importance or of no significance lies in the utilitarian tendency and potential defects in the traditional value orientation aiming at ＂committed-to-management＂ and ＂ commltted-to-sclence＂. The former focuses excessively on organizational benefit, neglecting that the individual interests is correlated with the research, while the latter pays much concern to the unique organizational topic, far away from the reality of social life. The ＂committed-to-partlcipant＂ research （CPR） is an important supplement to the two value orientations mentioned above, by which the researcher＇s responsibility is extended beyond the data collection and the researcher should be identified as an ＂expert helper＂ to pay more concern to the employee＂ promotion and happiness. The researcher is technically required for the maximum effective contact with participant and ethically required to be honest to participant, which will help to fulfill the basic goal of organizational management research and enhance the researcher＇s social responsibility.
