寻找组织建构过程中的行动者——以Y市组建R局为例的研究

Constructed Organization——A Case Study on the Establishment of R Bureau in Y City

组织是行动者构成的组织,行动者的集体行动构成了组织本身。有别于"将组织看成既定存在"的传统主流组织理论,组织行动学派认为人是具有自主性的行动者,而组织是由行动者参与的一种"人为建构"。通过对Y市R局的设立及初步运行的考察发现,中国政府组织虽有官僚制的典型结构形式,但其真正的生命力来自于组织内外的行动者。以建构组织观分析考察当代中国政府组织,有利于我们深化对当前政府改革的理解,并为建构适应复杂性治理要求的政府组织提供启示。

The organization is considered to be an artificially constructed existence under the paradigm of Action Organization, which is different from the traditional mainstream organization theory regarding the organization as an established existence. Through the investigation of the establishment and preliminary operation of the R Bureau in Y City, it is found that the existence of the organization is not just a realistic state of stereotypes, but a process of continuous construction and change involving the actors inside and outside the organization. Under the Constructed Organization paradigm, organization may be deemed as a structure of collective action, and then being universalized as a concrete action system. It emphasizes applying the human energy and vitality to constructing the organization order.
