摘要
技术与组织的关系研究自20世纪50年代以后形成了有代表性的三个视角。"技术决定论"突破了古典理论"惟一最佳组织方式"的局限,用技术因素解释组织间的结构差异,其局限在于将组织方式与技术简单对应;"技术结构化理论"引入了新技术使用过程中的结构变迁过程,展现了组织结构动态变化的一面。在"技术决定论"和"技术结构理论"之后我们提出了"互构理论"。"互构论"从技术的外源定制性以及技术自身的层级结构等应用性特质出发,分析技术与组织关系背后的行动者之间的互动,通过重视技术的应用环境,展现结构多样性以及结构变化的差异性。
The relationship between technology and organization had two mainstreams from 1950s, namely the technology determinism (TD) and the technology structuration (TS). TD introduced technology as a critical factor impacted on diversity of organization structures, which developed a new area in organization studies. On the other hand, TS brought theory of stucturation from Anthony Giddens into organization field and tried to offer dynamics of the relationship between technology and organization. Nevertheless, neither of them explains phenomena of one technology with many structures, nor explains structures with many technologies. The reciprocal-structuration theory treats technology as a media, which brings technology supplier and user in an interaction arena (organization), takes application conditions such as HR, nature of technology customization, and organizational culture into account, and shows variety and dynamics in relationship between technology and organization structures.
