Kontekstowość ocen sprawności organizacji

The contextual approach is a research method that is becoming increasingly popular in social sciences. The aim of this paper is to analyze the theoretical achievements related to the interpretation of assessment of the organization using a contextual approach as a method of scientific explanation. This approach creates new research opportunities. On the other hand, it reveals the problems of universality of scientific knowledge. The analyzes show that theoretical achievements related to the assessment of the organization show examples of contextual knowledge. But contextual theories pose a problem of the alternativeity of knowledge. However, this does not discriminate contextuality as a method of scientific explanation, but points to the problem of verification of theoretical knowledge formulated in this way.
