Abstract

Scholars have increasingly argued for the merits of advocacy-based research versus research considered from the pursuit of objective truth. In this essay, I seek to extend Tsang's Journal of Management Inquiry essay (2022) and suggest that political advocacy has replaced the pursuit of objective truth in management research. Through the use of example, I suggest that this focus on politically based advocacy will be detrimental to the continued professional development of the management discipline.

真理与管理科学:“皇帝”还有衣服穿吗?

学者们越来越多地争论以倡导为基础的研究与追求客观真理的研究的优点。在这篇文章中，我试图扩展Tsang的Journal of Management Inquiry文章(2022)，并提出政治倡导已经取代了管理研究中对客观真理的追求。通过举例，我认为这种以政治为基础的宣传将不利于管理学科的持续专业发展。
