组织行为面临的挑战及组织行为研究趋势

The Challenges Faced by Organizational Behavior and the Trends in Research for Organizational Behavior

20世纪八九十年代以来,组织行为面临空前的挑战。外部环境系统出现了变化性增加、稳定性减弱和复杂性增加、确定性减弱的趋势,一方面动摇了传统组织设计重视严格分工的原则和方法,另一方面也全面更新了组织发展的价值标准和价值取向,要求组织确立新的效益观和新的生态观。同时,组织中的人也出现了工作价值观多元化、结构差异化、工作任务和工作性质多样化的变化趋势,要求组织能够以保证工作者稳定性的方式对这种变化做出反应。而信息技术的广泛应用,正在改变并将进一步改变组织的管理技术和活动过程,推动了组织从构筑明确刚性的组织边界转变为无边界管理或渗透边界管理。组织行为面临的种种挑战,对组织行为研究提出了挑战,从而引发了组织行为研究从立场到对象乃至方法的一系列转变。每一个时期的管理理论和方法,都继承性地发展了前一时期的探索和研究,因此,对组织行为的研究也必将在管理理论和管理实践的历史沿革中不断地创新和发展。

Since 1980s and 1990s, organizational behavior has faced unprecedented challenges. In the system of external environment, appears a tendency to the fact that variability and complexity increase while stability and certainty decrease, which, on the one hand, shakes the principles and methods of attaching importance to strict division of work by traditional organizational design; and, on the other hand, comprehensively updates value criteria and value orientations of organizational development, requesting organization to establish the concepts of a new effectiveness and a new ecology. At the same time, for people in tbe organization, also appears a tendency to work-values diversity, structural differentiation, and diversification of work-assignment and work-nature, requesting organization to respond to this tendency by way of ensuring the stability of workers. Moreover, the extensive application of information technology is changing and will further change organization＇s managing technologies and acting processes, promoting organization＇s change from constructing a clear, rigid boundary to establishing no border management or border infiltration management. The challenges face by organizational behavior raise new demands for research for organizational behavior, thus causing a series of changes in the study of organizational behavior from po- sitions to objects, even to methods. Since each period＇s theories and methods of nranagement inherit and develop previous period＇s exploration and study, the research for organizational behavior will inevitably have a constant innovation and development with the historical change of the theory and practice of management.
