【摘要】 近年来,国内外学术界和企业界逐渐认识到复杂性是组织无法回避的本质性问题,组织必须有效识别和评价组织复杂性。但是,由于复杂现象的普遍存在,至今关于何谓组织复杂性仍有着不同的界定。本文总结了在组织理论研究领域关于组织复杂性内涵界定及测量的不同学派及其发展历程,分别研究了占主导地位的三种学派(即结构学派、行为学派和认知学派)关于组织复杂性内涵界定及测量的不同观点,以期为后续研究提供参考和依据。更多还原

【Abstract】 With the development of organizational complexity inside and outside, the domestic and foreign researchers start to realize that the complexity is the essential question which the organization is unable to avoid. In order to deal with organizational complexity, it is necessary to understand to the organization complex deeply. However, because of the universal complex phenomenon, the definition of organizational complexity is different. The authors summarize and point out there are two transitions the study of the definition and measurement of organizational complexity. Firstly, there is a transition from the complexity of the object to the complexity of the subject, which is a transition from paying close attention to complicated characteristic of organization structure based on mechanism to paying close attention to the complicated behavior and organizational whole complexity based on behaviorism, they all analyze the organizational objective complexity from origins of complexity; Secondly, there is a transition from objective view to subjective view, which is a transition from the organizational objective complexity based on origins of complexity to the organizational subjective complexity based on the cognitive of policymakers. Analyzing two transitions, The Authors mainly summarize three schools, which are structure school, behavior school and cognition school. Accordingly, they introduce separately the organization complex definitions and the measure and hope can provide the reference and the basis for the future research.更多还原
